Talon is a simple tool for users to work with Webhooks on Discord, Slack, and IFTTT. It's very easy to use, and allows a larger audience to work with Webhooks in a simple way, without requiring you to know how to code. Talon gets rid of everything complex, and gives you a nice and easy to use Interface thats familiar to use. We built Talon to take advantage of the features that Discord, Slack, and IFTTT offer. With Discord, you can send multiline messages, use Text-to-Speech, and more. Talon also has a built in Link Shortener, Talon.link - allowing users to create shortened links easily. With Talon Free, you can make randomized link extensions, and with Talon Pro, you can choose your own. Either way, all Talon users get to have fun with our Link Shortening service. Talon allows you to save and copy your links inside of the app, so you don't have to constantly go back and forth just to use the app. Just save all of your webhook links for later convenience. Alternatively, you can save your shortened links from Talon.link to reference later. For even more features, you can purchase Talon Pro. Talon Pro allows you to send Discord Embeds, create custom links with Talon Pro, customize your App Theme and App Icon, and remove ads. Talon Pro is a one time purchase, the app is subscription free.
