I got HookHand working locally, it’s pretty interesting, I feel like the way it exposes webhook data as environment variables might be fairly tricky to work with:

#!/bin/sh
echo "TEST!"
echo "parameters: $*"
echo "HOOKHAND* environment variables:"

So, here is a bit of information from the real world of someone who actually works and deals with this issue. The refugee screening process is multi-layered and is very difficult to get through. Most people languish in temporary camps for months to years while their story is evaluated and checked.
