Webhook OUT: publications into your database
Every publication — a record in your database.
The problem
The team needs raw publication data in its own database — for their own reports, dashboards, integrations. Ready BI systems don't fit, you need control over the schema.
How Crosslybot solves it
The outgoing webhook sends the event to your backend, which writes the data into PostgreSQL, MySQL or another DBMS. Full control over the schema and processing.
Crosslybot sends publications into your database via an outgoing webhook. After every publication the event goes to your backend, which writes the data into PostgreSQL, MySQL, ClickHouse or another DBMS.
Full schema control: store what you need, in the format that’s convenient. Raw data lets you build any reports, dashboards and integrations — with no constraints from ready BI services.
How to set up
Stand up an endpoint
Build a simple HTTP endpoint on your side that accepts the event and writes it to the database.
Describe the schema
Create a publications table with the columns you need: text, platform, link, date, trace_id.
Set up Webhook OUT
In the Crosslybot dashboard, specify the endpoint URL and enable the outgoing webhook.
Use the data
Build reports, dashboards, integrate with other systems — the data is yours.
What's inside
Full schema control
Want to store just the title and trace_id — store it. Want everything with metadata — store it. You decide.
Any DBMS
PostgreSQL, MySQL, ClickHouse, MongoDB — the receiver writes into what you have.
Raw data for analytics
No constraints from ready services. SQL queries against your table — any reports.
Result
A full archive of publications in your database. The team builds any reports and integrations on raw data.
FAQ
What comes in the payload?
The post text, the platform, a link to the publication, the date, metadata and a trace_id for end-to-end tracking.
How is delivery reliability ensured?
HMAC signature + retry on the Crosslybot side. The receiver must respond 2xx — otherwise delivery is retried.
Will it work for large load?
Yes. Delivery is asynchronous, it doesn't block publication on the Crosslybot side. Scale the receiver to your volume.
What plan is needed?
Webhook OUT is available on the Pro plan and above.
