Create the publishing action

Event-driven publishing
Social media API with webhooks for publishing workflows
Create or schedule posts through the API, then let event-driven callbacks continue your backend workflow when publishing state changes.
Start with the social media scheduler API or browse the full developer platform.
How it works
Move from polling to event-driven social publishing.
Webhooks are useful when social publishing is one step in a larger system and another service needs to react when the state changes.
Register the callback workflow
Point your event-driven workflow at the URL that should receive publishing updates instead of repeatedly polling for changes.
React to delivery events
Use incoming events to update your own database, notify a team, retry a workflow or continue a downstream automation.
Keep API state as the source of truth
Use the API and PostSider dashboard to inspect current publishing state when an event needs investigation or manual review.

FAQ
Common questions.
What are social media API webhooks?
Webhooks let a publishing platform push event notifications to your application when something changes, instead of forcing your code to poll the API repeatedly.
Why use webhooks for scheduled social posts?
They are useful when another system needs to react quickly to publishing state, failures or other events without running a constant polling loop.
Does PostSider support webhooks?
Yes. Webhooks are available on the current Pro and Ultimate plans for event-driven workflows. Check the current developer documentation for supported events and payloads.
Can I use the REST API without webhooks?
Yes. Webhooks are optional. You can use the REST API independently and read publishing state directly when that is simpler for your application.
