Publish anywhere with a webhook
For everything else: a custom site, or an automation tool such as Zapier, Make or n8n. We send each article to your endpoint as JSON, and you decide what happens to it.
How to connect
- 1
Add your website. Content Autopilot reads it and plans the first two weeks of articles.
- 2
Open Settings, go to the Publishing tab and choose Webhook.
- 3
Fill in the 2 required fields below and press Connect. The connection is tested before it is saved, and you are told what Webhook answered if it fails.
- 4
From then on, each article is published there on its scheduled day. Switch on "Hold articles for my approval" first if you want to read each one before it goes out.
What you will be asked for
- Your endpoint (https)
- Access token
- Sent as Authorization: Bearer …. Events: publish_articles and update_article, with title, slug, Markdown, HTML, meta description and image.
Worth knowing first
- Two events are sent: publish_articles for a new article and update_article when one is refreshed. Each carries the title, slug, Markdown, HTML, meta description and image.
- Requests carry your access token as an Authorization: Bearer header. Check it on your side and reject anything without it.
- The payload matches the one Outrank's webhook sends, so a receiver built for that works without changes.
- Your endpoint must be reachable over https from the public internet.
What arrives
One article a day by default: a title, a slug, the body with headings and links to your own pages, a meta description, and a cover image when images are switched on. The same article is always published to your hosted blog too, so there is a copy with a sitemap and structured data whatever your CMS does with it.
