Send a webhook on every publish

The webhook is the raw building block behind every automation. Every time you publish, Writizzy sends an HTTP POST with a JSON body to a URL you choose. If a tool accepts a webhook, it works, no fixed integration list required.

Add a webhook channel

Open Channels in your blog settings, click Add a channel, and pick Webhook. Paste your endpoint into Payload URL and click Test and connect. The endpoint must be HTTPS and publicly reachable.

Verify it came from Writizzy

Set an optional Signing secret. When you do, every request carries an X-Writizzy-Signature: sha256=... header, an HMAC-SHA256 of the raw request body. Recompute it on your end with the same secret and compare, if they match, the call is genuine and untampered.

The payload

Each publish sends a JSON body shaped like this:

{
  "event": "post.published",
  "test": false,
  "timestamp": "2026-01-01T10:00:00Z",
  "blog": { "name": "Your blog", "url": "https://your-blog.writizzy.com" },
  "post": {
    "id": "a1b2c3...",
    "title": "How I Do Design as a Backend Developer",
    "url": "https://eventuallymaking.io/p/how-i-do-design",
    "excerpt": "The opening lines of your article...",
    "coverImage": "https://.../cover.jpg",
    "tags": ["tag-1", "tag-2"],
    "author": "You",
    "publishedAt": "2026-01-01",
    "membersOnly": false
  },
  "message": "New on the blog: **How I Do Design...**"
}

The message field mirrors the announcement Writizzy would post to a social channel; the other fields give you the structured data to build whatever you need.

Use it with your favourite tool

No backend of your own? Point the webhook at Zapier or Make and connect to thousands of apps without writing code. n8n and any self-hosted receiver work the same way.

Good to know

• Premium, members-only posts are sent without their excerpt.
• The test flag is true for the sample sent by Test and connect, so you can ignore test calls in your logic.
