# Webhooks (/integrations/webhooks)





Webhooks push each article to you the moment it publishes — no polling. Point RapidWombat at any HTTPS endpoint that accepts POST requests: your own backend, or an automation tool like Zapier or Make.

## Set it up [#set-it-up]

1. In [Settings → Integrations](/settings/integrations), click **Connect** on the Webhook card.
2. Enter your **Webhook URL**.
3. Enter a **Secret token** — any string you choose. RapidWombat sends it back with every delivery so you can verify the request really came from us.
4. Click **Connect**. Each project supports one webhook.

## What you receive [#what-you-receive]

When an article publishes, RapidWombat sends a POST request to your URL with your token in the `Authorization: Bearer <token>` header and a JSON body:

| Field         | What it is                         |
| ------------- | ---------------------------------- |
| `id`          | The article's unique ID            |
| `title`       | The article title                  |
| `content`     | The full article body, in Markdown |
| `cover_image` | The article's hero image           |

Prefer pull over push? The [REST API](/integrations/api) lets you fetch articles on your own schedule.
