Webhook automation

A webhook Auto-Publisher sends each post from your feeds to an address you choose, as a signed JSON request. Use it to connect Feedigy to Zapier, Make, n8n, Pabbly or your own app, and post anywhere those tools reach.

Before you start

Add an endpoint on the Automation webhook channel page, or from the wizard with Connect an endpoint. The address must use HTTPS. You can add Custom headers, for example an API key your tool expects. Feedigy signs every request itself.

Set it up

1. Open Auto-Publishers, select Add new, and add your feeds. See Step 1.
2. In Destination channel, choose Automation platforms.
3. Choose the Automation endpoint.
4. Check the Webhook payload preview on the right: the exact JSON body your endpoint receives. Select Copy to use it as a sample in your tool.
5. Select Send sample to send a sample request. It uses no feed item and does not change the Auto-Publisher. The result shows the response status, for example HTTP 200.
6. Tick Allow automated webhook delivery.
7. Select Next, set the schedule, and select Finish.

Verify the signature

Every request has an X-Feedigy-Signature header with a timestamp and an HMAC of the body, made with your endpoint’s Signing secret.

1. Copy the secret with Copy secret and store it safely in your tool.
2. On each request, compute the HMAC of the raw request body with the timestamp from the header.
3. Compare it with the signature in constant time before you parse the JSON.

Select Rotate secret to make a new secret. Update your endpoint at once: requests signed with the old secret stop matching.
