Instructions
There are two parts of the mod:
The command line application can be downloaded from my Github page (bridge.zip under Assets in the latest release). It also includes a config.json to change some configurations. You must set the full path to your Skyrim installation (wherever your SkyrimSE.exe sits) inside the config.json. Make sure to use double backslashes as backslashes are escape characters in the json format. You can optionally set the port the http server shall listen on. Usually you can leave it as is unless another application is listening on that port. Keep in mind that the examples below will all use the default port 8111 but you need to use whatever port you set up here.
When executing bridge.exe you may be warned by your anti-virus and/or Microsoft's SmartScreen. It's up to you to trust me. Do not execute applications that you downloaded from other sources that you do not trust!
If the application closes immediately there is an error with your config.json.
The mod plugin is fairly easy to install. The mod manager of your choice should install it without problem. For manual installation put the files in the data folder into your skyrim data folder.
Once the command line application is running and the server is listening you can start sending web requests. Most local-run Twitch bots or automation applications, even the Stream Deck, let you make web requests. Your request is made via unencrypted http on a non-default port. You can read more about the webhooks by going to http://localhost:8111/ while the command line application is running. You can also search for form IDs and test the webhooks there.
To keep you save file from bloating spawned objects and NPCs are tracked whenever possible and cleaned up when the cell they're in are unloaded. That is why spawned objects have a 128 count limit. Items you picked up are not affected by this cleanup. So pick up all of these cheese wheels if you want.

- a command line application
This provides a http server that takes requests and writes json files into your Skyrim folder - a Skyrim mod
This reads the json files from the command line application and executes the events that were written into it
