Example delivery headers
Content-Type: application/json User-Agent: Ship2Post/1.0 X-Ship2Post-Platform: custom_webhook X-Ship2Post-Idempotency-Key: post:123:custom_webhook Authorization: Bearer <optional secret>
Receiver contract
Return any 2xx status for success.
Your response can include the published id and public URL. Empty successful responses are accepted when your system handles the final publish internally.
Optional response
{
"external_post_id": "cms-post-123",
"external_url": "https://example.com/blog/cms-post-123"
}Reliability
Build receivers for safe retries.
- Treat post.idempotency_key as stable and avoid duplicate publishing.
- Validate any optional bearer secret before accepting the payload.
- Return the canonical public URL when your destination creates one.
- Accept quickly and queue slower downstream work inside your own system.
