Use case

Social media webhooks for post status and failures

Socifyr sends a signed HTTP POST to your endpoint when a post finishes or fails. Events are upload.completed, upload.failed, upload.partial_failure, plus per-platform platform.success and platform.failed. Each request carries an X-Webhook-Signature header (sha256=HMAC of the body), and the SDK includes verifyWebhookSignature. Webhooks are available on the Business plan.

How it works

  1. 1

    Register an endpoint

    POST /api/webhooks with a url and the events you want. The response includes the signing secret.
  2. 2

    Verify every request

    Compute an HMAC-SHA256 of the raw body with your secret and compare it to the X-Webhook-Signature header. Reject mismatches.
  3. 3

    React to the event

    Mark a CMS entry as published, alert a channel on failure, or kick off a retry for a failed platform.
  4. 4

    Debug with delivery logs

    GET /api/webhooks/:id/deliveries lists recent attempts with status codes, kept for 30 days.

Working code

curl -X POST https://api.socifyr.com/api/webhooks \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk_your_key" \
  -H "X-Workspace-Id: your_workspace_id" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "url": "https://example.com/hooks/socifyr",
    "events": ["upload.completed", "upload.failed", "upload.partial_failure"],
    "description": "Publishing status"
  }'

Replace sk_your_key and the workspace ID with your own from the dashboard, and use your own connection slugs.

Who this is for

  • Teams syncing publish state back into a CMS or database

    Avoid polling and update your own records the moment a post lands.
  • On-call and ops teams

    Page or post to Slack when a scheduled post fails.
  • Automation builders

    Trigger the next step of a pipeline from a publish event.

Frequently asked questions

Which events can I subscribe to?

upload.completed, upload.failed, upload.partial_failure, platform.success and platform.failed.

Which plan includes webhooks?

Business. It allows up to 25 webhook endpoints. Free and Pro can poll GET /api/content/status instead.

How do I verify a webhook came from Socifyr?

Check X-Webhook-Signature, formatted as sha256=<hex>, against an HMAC-SHA256 of the raw body using your endpoint secret. The SDK exposes verifyWebhookSignature for this.

Can I see past deliveries?

Yes. The deliveries endpoint returns recent attempts with status codes and responses for 30 days.

What is the alternative without webhooks?

Poll GET /api/content/status?requestId=..., or call waitForCompletion in the SDK, which polls for you.
