Setting up webhooks

Webhooks notify another service when something happens in NovaDocs (for example an article is published).

1. Create a webhook

1. Open Admin → Webhooks
2. Add a new webhook
3. Paste the target URL
4. Choose which events to receive
5. Save

2. Discord

Paste a Discord channel webhook URL. NovaDocs detects Discord URLs and sends a rich embed message.

You do not need a secret for Discord webhooks.

3. Custom URL

Use any HTTPS endpoint that accepts POST JSON.

If you set a secret, NovaDocs sends a signature header:

X-NovaDocs-Signature — HMAC SHA-256 of the body, using your secret.

Verify it on your server before trusting the payload.

4. Test

Use Test webhook in admin. You should see a delivery in the log and a message in Discord / your endpoint.
