Integrating Blog Botz with your Laravel application via webhooks allows for seamless automation of blog content publishing. Follow these steps to set up the integration.

Step 1: Set Up Webhook Route in Laravel

1. 1. Open your Laravel project.
   2. In the routes/web.php file, define a new route for the webhook:

Route::post('/webhook', 'WebhookController@handle');

Step 2: Create Webhook Controller

1. 1. Generate a new controller by running the following command:

php artisan make:controller WebhookController

1. 1. Open the newly created app/Http/Controllers/WebhookController.php file.
   2. Add the following code to handle incoming webhook requests:

public function handle(Request $request) {
    $data = $request->json()->all();
    // Process the incoming blog data (e.g., save to database)
    // Example: Blog::create($data);
    return response()->json(['status' => 'success']);
}
    

Step 3: Copy the Webhook URL

Your webhook URL will be https://yourdomain.com/webhook. Make sure this URL is accessible and secure (using HTTPS).

Step 4: Add Webhook URL in Blog Botz

1. Log in to your Blog Botz account.
2. Navigate to the Integrations or Sites section.
3. Click on Add New Webhook Integration.
4. In the form, enter the following:
   • Webhook URL: Paste your Laravel webhook URL.
   • Content Type: Select JSON.
5. Click Save or Connect.

Step 5: Configure Webhook Payload in Laravel

Blog Botz will send the following data when a blog post is published:

• Blog Title
• Blog Content
• Meta Description
• SEO Tags
• Publication Date

Ensure your Laravel application can handle and store this data appropriately.

Step 6: Test the Webhook Connection

1. Create a sample blog post in Blog Botz.
2. When published, Blog Botz will send the data to your Laravel webhook.
3. Check your Laravel application to ensure the data is received and processed correctly.

Step 7: Automate Blog Publishing to Laravel

With the webhook integration complete, Blog Botz will automatically send future blog posts to your Laravel application, streamlining your content publishing process.
