| **[ZWS](https://zws.im)** (Zero-width spaces) | The "fancy" mode. When pasted elsewhere, the URL appears to be *just* your domain name.  |
| **Mixed-case alphanumeric** | The "safe" mode. URL's are browser safe as the character set is just letters & numbers. |
| **Original** | The "basic" mode. URL matches the same filename as when the file was uploaded. This may be prone to conflicts with files of the same name. |
The installation may look daunting but it's really pretty straightforward. Just follow it word-for-word & you'll be fine. If you are not fine, then by all means [open an Issue](https://github.com/tycrek/ass/issues/new) & I'll try my best to help.

You may use Discord webhooks as an easy way to keep track of your uploads. The first step is to [create a new Webhook](https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/228383668-Intro-to-Webhooks). You only need to follow the first section, **Making a Webhook**. Once you are done that, click **Copy Webhook URL**. Next, paste your URL into a text editor. Extract these two values from the URL:
Once you have these, add the following HTTP headers to your ShareX config:
| Header | Purpose |
| ------ | ------- |
| **`X-Ass-Webhook-Client`** | The **Webhook ID** |
| **`X-Ass-Webhook-Token`** | The **Webhook Token** |
Webhooks will show the filename, mimetype, size, upload timestamp, thumbail, and a link to delete the file. To disable webhooks, simply remove the headers from your config.
