First tests everything works very well with both possibilities, and the order is done in less than a second! It's easy to create http triggers.
The only problem is that it's not possible to rename "webhooks" so there are an infinite number of identical tabs in the carousel and if it was possible in a next update to add an icon of your choice to more easily identify triggers.
But it's a very nice step forward! Thanks!

I have tested this out and it works really well.
I have it sending messages to node-red in my home automation system, so now the sky is the limit for me. I don't even need IFTTT to control my devices.
I second the call to change the names from Webhooks to something more meaningful and also the icons.
Also, would there be any way that it could also be able to get back a status like ON/OFF or something like that so it can show the most recent value/status of what it is controlling? That would make this feature even more awesome.

Holy s***!!
3 years after backing this on Kickstarter, the feature (custom HTTP requests) that was the sole reason I bought this device is finally here!
Now I actually have a reason to take my Smart Remote out of the box I received almost a year ago, and start integrating it why my home systems.
PS: Though this post might seem like I'm criticizing Sevenhugs, it's of course fully understandable that sending custom HTTP requests or an IFTTT integration isn't exactly a use case for the majority of their backers/consumers, so to the contrary, huge kudos to Sevenhugs for actually delivering on their promises, compared to some other successful Kickstarters that still lack feature parity with what they originally promised (looking at you, Airtame...)
Thank you! =)
