Decided to use the Generic Webhook Trigger Plugin https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/Generic+Webhook+Trigger+Plugin

A simple quick and dirty way to parse "name" and "email" is the below, treating the JSON file as raw text (which has it's own caveats of course)

name=$(grep pusher -A5 <your_json_file> | grep  name | cut -d':' -f2 | cut -d' ' -f2 | tr -d \" | tr -d ,)
email=$(grep pusher -A5 <your_json_file> | grep email | cut -d':' -f2 | cut -d' ' -f2 | tr -d \" | tr -d ,)
