Example Article Created via Webhook
Example Article Created via Webhook
This is an example of how articles will be automatically created in your Jekyll blog when received via webhook.
Features
The webhook integration provides several key features:
- Automatic Post Creation: Articles are automatically converted to Jekyll markdown posts
- GitHub Integration: Posts are committed to your GitHub repository
- Netlify Deployment: Your site is automatically rebuilt and deployed
- SEO Optimization: Meta descriptions and images are included
- Tag Support: Article tags are preserved and added to the Jekyll front matter
How It Works
- An external service sends a webhook POST request to your Netlify function
- The function validates the access token for security
- Article data is processed and converted to Jekyll markdown format
- The new post is committed to your GitHub repository
- Netlify automatically rebuilds and deploys your site
Customization
You can customize the webhook behavior by modifying the Netlify function to:
- Change the Jekyll post template
- Add custom front matter fields
- Modify file naming conventions
- Add content processing logic
This automation saves time and allows you to focus on content creation while maintaining a consistent publishing workflow.
