Notify was built primarily to use with Slack's Incoming
webhooks, but will also deliver a simple payload to
any endpoint. Currently only active for `publish` / `create`
commands.

## Usage

An example with a **HipChat** and **Google Hangouts Chat** hook:

#### Single notification

```yaml
notify:
  method: POST
  headers: [{'Content-Type': 'application/json'}]
  endpoint: https://usagge.hipchat.com/v2/room/3729485/notification?auth_token=mySecretToken
  content: '{"color":"green","message":"New package published: * {{ name }}*","notify":true,"message_format":"text"}'
```

#### Multiple notification

```yaml
notify:
  'example-google-chat':
    method: POST
    headers: [{'Content-Type': 'application/json'}]
    endpoint: https://chat.googleapis.com/v1/spaces/AAAAB_TcJYs/messages?key=myKey&token=myToken
    content: '{"text":"New package published: `{{ name }}{{#each versions}} v{{version}}{{/each}}`"}'
  'example-hipchat':
     method: POST
     headers: [{'Content-Type': 'application/json'}]
     endpoint: https://usagge.hipchat.com/v2/room/3729485/notification?auth_token=mySecretToken
     content: '{"color":"green","message":"New package published: * {{ name }}*","notify":true,"message_format":"text"}'
```
