Webhook integration with kiterank

We publish into it

Every other destination speaks one vendor's API. This one speaks nobody's. We POST each finished article to a URL you control as signed JSON. That covers every CMS without an adapter, static sites, and whatever you have built yourself.

What it does

• Signed, and replay-resistant

  HMAC-SHA256 over the timestamp joined to the body, the same scheme Stripe uses. The timestamp is inside the signed string, so a captured payload cannot be replayed later and the clock cannot be moved without breaking the signature.

• We publish our own blog through it

  kiterank uses this destination on itself, which means a bug here stops our own articles before it could ever reach yours.

• Covers what has no adapter

  A static site, something you built yourself, or a tool we have not written an adapter for. If you can receive a POST, you can publish.

How to set it up

1. 1Set up an endpoint you own that accepts a POST and returns 2xx.
2. 2In kiterank, open Connections, choose Webhook, and paste the endpoint URL.
3. 3Store the signing secret it gives you.
4. 4Verify the signature on each request before you trust the body.
