Zulip + Foldr Integration
Zulip is the open-source topic-threaded team chat used by many OSS projects and universities. Wire Foldr into Zulip via incoming webhooks or outgoing webhooks + slash commands.
How to Connect Zulip to Foldr
Create an inbound webhook in Zulip
In Zulip's webhook / automation settings, add a new webhook that fires on the event you care about.
Point the webhook at Foldr
Use https://foldr.space/api/v1/webhooks/ingest?token=<your-foldr-webhook-token> — Foldr accepts JSON bodies and deduplicates by source ID.
Add an outgoing Foldr webhook (optional)
If you want events to flow the other way (Foldr → Zulip), add your Zulip webhook URL to your Foldr workspace settings.
Common Use Cases
- Drop a Foldr short link into Zulip whenever a file is ready
- Receive Zulip notifications when a Foldr upload finishes
- Use Foldr as the file host when Zulip's native attachments are too limited
- Let Zulip bots respond to mentions with a Foldr URL

Is there an official Foldr app for Zulip?
