Filter since v3.3.0

# fswa\_notification\_http\_args

Tune the outgoing HTTP request a notification channel makes — timeout, headers, proxy, TLS — per destination or channel type.

/ Signature

```
apply_filters( 'fswa_notification_http_args', $args, $url, $type )
```

/ When it fires

Right before every HTTP-backed channel sends (email goes through `wp_mail()` and does not pass here). Separate from `fswa_http_args`, which shapes webhook deliveries themselves, so a notification never inherits a header meant for a webhook endpoint.

/ Parameters

| Name | In | Type | Req | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| $args | param | array | yes | The \`wp\_remote\_request()\` arguments: \`method\`, \`timeout\` (10 s), \`headers\`, \`body\`, \`redirection\`, \`user-agent\`. |
| $url | param | string | yes | The destination URL (a Slack or Discord webhook, the Telegram Bot API, a Twilio endpoint, …). |
| $type | param | string | yes | The channel type: \`slack\`, \`discord\`, \`telegram\`, \`teams\`, \`google\_chat\`, \`mattermost\`, \`pushover\`, \`ntfy\`, \`twilio\_sms\`, \`twilio\_whatsapp\`, \`pagerduty\`, \`webhook\`, or a custom driver's type. |

/ Returns

`array` The arguments to send with.

/ Examples

Give Telegram a longer timeout on a slow host

```
add_filter( 'fswa_notification_http_args', function ( array $args, string $url, string $type ) {
    if ( $type === 'telegram' ) {
        $args['timeout'] = 20;
    }
    return $args;
}, 10, 3 );
```
