Curl wasn't working for me

[yanniboi]

I cloned your script (excellent script by the way... super helpful!) but it didnt work for me out of the box.

My bash scripting isnt that great, but I did a load of debugging and I came to the conclusion that everything is working up until the curl command.

I replaced:

curl -s
-d "payload=$payload"
"$webhook_url"
>/dev/null

with

curl -X POST
--data-urlencode "payload=$payload"
$webhook_url
>/dev/null

and now it works fine.

Just in case anyone else has a similar problem.

Tried these changes and now I get HTTP/1.1 503 Service Unavailable on the payload. Any ideas?
