Can the webhook be used to read the message in a channel? I am a subscriber but not the owner of the Discord Channel but want to be notified by SMS or Email when a new post appears in the channel
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
