Ghost Webhooks & Integrations

Overview

Ghost webhooks enable event-driven integrations by sending HTTP POST requests to configured URLs when specific events occur. Combined with the Content and Admin API SDKs, webhooks form the foundation for custom integrations, static site generation triggers, notification systems, and content automation pipelines.

When to Use

• Setting up webhooks to react to Ghost events (publishing, member signup, etc.)
• Building custom integrations with Ghost
• Triggering static site rebuilds on content changes
• Sending notifications (Slack, Discord, email) on Ghost events
• Automating content workflows (cross-posting, syndication)
• Building headless CMS frontends with Ghost as the backend
• Migrating content to or from Ghost
