ZimmWriter Webhooks

The webhook feature inside ZimmWriter unlocks superpowers!

You’re no longer tied just to WordPress. Now with webhooks, you can connect ZimmWriter to virtually any platform.

So… what’s a webhook?

It’s a URL that you create on another platform (like Zapier, Pabbly, N8N, Make, etc). You’ll put that URL inside ZimmWriter. Then, when you’re using the Bulk Writer, SEO Writer, or Penny Arcade in ZimmWriter, it’ll send the relevant data to that URL as soon as it completes your article. Your chosen platform decodes this data, and from there, you can send it anywhere!

Getting Started

It’s super simple to start using webhooks in ZimmWriter.

1. Create a webhook URL in your favorite platform (e.g., Zapier, Pabbly, N8N, Make, etc.)
2. Paste your webhook URL into ZimmWriter
3. Enter a name for your webhook in ZimmWriter
4. Press “Save New Webhook”

That’s it!

Now, whenever you’re loading a webhook, ZimmWriter will send a JSON data payload to your webhook URL.

• webhook_name: the name of the webhook you saved in ZimmWriter
• title: the title of your blog post
• markdown: your blog post in markdown format
• html: your blog post in html format
• excerpt: the meta description for your blog post
• image_base64: the featured image of your blog post, encoded in base64 format (if set)
• category: the category for your blog post (if set)
• image_url: the WordPress image URL for the featured image (if set)
• slug: the slug for the blog post (if set)
• tags: an array of tags for the blog post (if set)

JSON variables marked as “if set” are only populated with data when ZimmWriter generates them. For example, if you haven’t chosen to upload to WordPress, there won’t be an “image_url” available. ZimmWriter’ll still send the payload to the webhook, but the image_url will be set to boolean false.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does ZimmWriter Have Incoming Webhooks?

No. The main reason is right now, ZimmWriter is not coded for multi-threaded parallel processing. I would love to have this, but it’s not in the short term plans.

How Many Webhooks Can I Have?

ZimmWriter’ll store up to 1,000 webhooks, but you can load only one webhook at a time.

Are Webhooks Compatible with the Bulk Writer Profiles?

Just load your webhook, save your profile, and BOOM! It’ll instantly load whenever you open the profile.

Are ZimmWriter Webhooks Compatible With ______ Platform?

ZimmWriter’s webhooks work with any platform that’ll generate a webhook URL and accept JSON data. You’ll need to parse the data and use it according to your platform’s requirements.
