Hi there

I wanted to try your Discord sink. I need a webhook id and token to do this. On Discord I can get a url containing a long string (this is the id I think?). How do I get the token? I used another Nuget package to write to Discord, and this package only needed the complete url. So how can I get the token? Maybe you can update your readme?

Thanks, Jacob

Updated README.md.

Basically you just need to match your webhook URL with the following pattern:

https://discordapp.com/api/webhooks/[YOUR_WEBHOOK_ID]/[YOUR_WEBHOOK_TOKEN]

where Webhook ID is a number, and Webhook token is a string.

Hi CXuesong

Thanks for your reply. This will help

Maybe you can even improve the code by doing the parsing of the URL in your code. This way the end users can insert the complete url as a parameter.

Thanks, Jacob

Uhmm... I think this would be a good idea.

I used to be hesitating about this, as the action of parsing introduces instability and possibility to make mistake.

Let me re-open the issue until I solve it.
