Connect your site & publishing API

When NeverDrafts generates an article to win an AI answer, it can publish it for you. Native integrations cover the popular platforms; the webhook API covers everything else.

Native integrations

All native integrations are set up in Dashboard → Integrations — no code required.

Webhook API — publish to your own CMS

Add an API Webhook integration and NeverDrafts will POST every published article to your endpoint. You need three things:

• —Integration name: 2–30 characters, letters/numbers/spaces only.
• —Webhook endpoint: A public HTTPS URL on your server that receives the POST.
• —Access token: A secret you choose; sent with every request as Authorization: Bearer <token>.

Authentication

Every request carries your access token as Authorization: Bearer <token>. Your handler should reject anything without a valid token:

// Node.js/Express example
app.use(express.json());

const ACCESS_TOKEN = process.env.ACCESS_TOKEN;

function validateAccessToken(req) {
  const authHeader = req.headers.authorization || '';
  return authHeader.startsWith('Bearer ') && authHeader.split(' ')[1] === ACCESS_TOKEN;
}

app.post('/webhook', (req, res) => {
  if (!validateAccessToken(req)) {
    return res.status(401).json({ error: 'Invalid access token' });
  }
  // Handle payload
  res.status(200).json({ ok: true });
});

The publish_articles event

When an article is published, we send this JSON payload — both markdown and HTML bodies are included, plus the metadata your CMS needs:

{
  "event_type": "publish_articles",
  "timestamp": "2026-04-01T12:00:00Z",
  "data": {
    "articles": [
      {
        "id": "123456",
        "title": "How to Implement Webhooks",
        "content_markdown": "Webhooks are a powerful...",
        "content_html": "<p>Webhooks are a powerful...</p>",
        "meta_description": "Learn how to implement webhooks in your application",
        "created_at": "2026-03-31T10:30:00Z",
        "image_url": "https://example.com/images/webhook-article.jpg",
        "slug": "how-to-implement-webhooks",
        "tags": ["webhooks", "integration", "api"]
      }
    ]
  }
}

Testing & best practices

• —In Dashboard → Integrations → Add Integration → API Webhook, enter your endpoint and token, then click Test Your Webhook before publishing for real.
• —Respond with HTTP 200 as fast as possible; process the payload asynchronously if your import is slow.
• —401s mean the Authorization header doesn't match your configured token exactly; 500s usually mean JSON parsing — expect Content-Type: application/json.
