That isn’t possible using Webhooks, as they are made to only send data in server channels, and not receive. However, you can setup a Discord Bot to read messages, but for that you’ll need to host a server.

if I host a server and build this discord bot, can this read messages from other channels of which I am not the admin?

Yes absolutely, the only permission the bot needs is to be able to read messages from that channel, and if that permission is granted then it’ll work
