Webhooks

Rooftop can tell your application when something has happened by sending a webhook.

Rooftop can send a webhook to your application, letting it know when something has changed. We trigger on update and save events for every content type, as well as taxonomies and media entries.

## Adding a webhook endpoint
Your webhook endpoint is a URL which can accept a POST request from the Rooftop server. You can add as many endpoints as you need - an HTTP request will be sent to each.

Webhook post format

Rooftop sends a multipart form request with the following fields:

• id: the ID of the entity
• blog_id: your blog ID on Rooftop
• sub_domain: your subdomain on Rooftop
• type: the content type which is being updated
• status: the new status of the content

Sending JSON in webhooks is planned

There's an open issue to add an option to POST a JSON blob instead of multipart form data.

## Give it a try
If you make a POST request to the demo website API, you'll be able to see the webhook being sent to https://requestb.in/1f76wn61?inspect
