Auto-Publish Webhook (Pro)

Automatically rebuild your static site when you publish or update content in Ghost.

How does auto-publish work?

Ghost fires a webhook when you publish or update content. SnapStatic receives it, queues a Pro generation using your saved configuration, and builds your static site automatically. If Git Push is configured, the build is deployed to your repository too.

How do I set it up?
  1. Go to the Pro Generator and configure your modules (CDN, search, Git Push, etc.).
  2. On the Review step, click "Save Webhook Config" — this saves your connection details and generation settings.
  3. Go to Profile → Auto-Publish Webhook and copy your Webhook URL.
  4. In Ghost Admin → Settings → Integrations → Add Custom Integration → Add Webhook.
  5. Set the event to "Post published" (or other events) and paste the Webhook URL.
Where do I find my Webhook URL?

After saving your config from the Generator wizard, go to Profile → Auto-Publish Webhook. Your Webhook URL and token are displayed there (read-only). Copy the URL and paste it into Ghost Admin.

How do I update my webhook config?

Go to the Pro Generator, adjust your modules and settings, then click "Save Webhook Config" on the Review step. Your connection details and generation options are updated immediately. No need to change anything in Ghost Admin — the Webhook URL stays the same.

What are the build limits?

Auto-publish is limited to 5 builds per 24 hours per account. If you hit the limit, wait or run a manual generation instead. Your current usage is shown on the Profile page.

Can I use File Uploads with auto-publish?

No. The File Uploads module requires browser-based file selection, which is not available in an automated webhook build. Use manual generation for sites that need custom file uploads.

How do I remove my webhook config?

Go to Profile → Auto-Publish Webhook and click "Delete Webhook Config". This removes your saved configuration and stops the webhook from triggering builds. Remember to also remove the webhook in Ghost Admin.
