simple q
can i reuse a webhook in multiple automations
I have a service that sends notifications via webhooks. From my poking, it looks like i can only create a webhook when making an automation
can i use the same webhook endpoint in multiple automations so that i can have different automations fire off depending on the specific notification type -- like an automation to make my speakers make noise on error detected, and another automation to send a notification to mobile on success, etc

The docs indicate that they're 1:1 (https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/automation/trigger/#webhook-trigger): Note that a given webhook can only be used in one automation at a time. That is, only one automation trigger can use a specific webhook ID.
However, it does seem to work having multiple automations with the same webhook ID and them all being triggered with a single webhook call. That may be going into unsupported territory, unless someone has info that the docs are outdated.

welp, guess that means it's time to.... EXPERIMENT
Either that or look at setting up a webhook via nodered and utilizing that to trigger automations depending on the input data, which seems unwieldly

Why not have one automation that calls a bunch of scripts? Why does it need to be a bunch of automations?
