Right now when scanning serials, each serial is shown in a toast at the bottom of the screen.

An idea I think could have some utility would be to allow the webhook to provide custom text to show in that toast.

Examples include

"Warranty: Valid" or "Warranty: Expired" when scanning serials
"17 / 20" when inventory scanning a large number of de-duplicated barcodes for inventory tracking

Would this sort of functionality be welcome in BinaryEye?

It should already work that way! 😉

If the response from the server has a body, the first 240 bytes of it are shown in the toast.

Wonderful! I didn't see that documented yet.

Definitely going to play with that!
