ChatToWebhook is a lightweight Roblox server-side utility that captures TextChatService messages and forwards them to any webhook endpoint in rate-limit-safe batches.
It is designed to be:
- 🔹 Webhook-agnostic (Discord, Slack, custom APIs, etc.)
- 🔹 Server-only & event-driven
- 🔹 Safe for live games (batching + throttling)
- 🔹 Easy to drop into existing projects
- ✅ Listens to Roblox TextChatService
- 📦 Batches messages to avoid webhook rate limits
- ⏱️ Configurable batch size & flush interval
- 🔒 Sanitization & validation hooks
- 🌐 Works with any webhook
- 🧩 Modular design (Config / Types / Externalize)
- A text chat → webhook logger
- A backend/monitoring tool
- Useful for moderation logs, analytics, staff tools, archives

Messages are queued and flushed either:
- when the batch reaches a size limit, or
- after a fixed time interval
This keeps webhook usage efficient and rate-limit friendly.
