3. flash it on an ESP8266 either using the Arduino IDE (using the WebhookExample.ino file ) or PlatformIO (by opening this repo in PlatformIO)

4. once the ESP8266 is connected to your local network, you can make a get request to
   <your ESP8266's IP>/webhook1 or http://esp8266.local/webhook1 to execute a function

and

http://esp8266.local/webhook1?myArg1=HelloWorld to execute the function and print out "HelloWorld" to the command line
