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

Step 1: Create a Webhook Controller in Symfony

1. 1. Open your Symfony project.
   2. Create a new controller. In the src/Controller directory, create a file named WebhookController.php.
   3. Add the following code to WebhookController.php:

namespace App\Controller;

use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\AbstractController;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\JsonResponse;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request;
use Symfony\Component\Routing\Annotation\Route;

class WebhookController extends AbstractController {
    
    /**
     * @Route("/webhook", methods={"POST"})
     */
    public function index(Request $request) {
        $data = json_decode($request->getContent(), true);
        // Process the incoming blog data (e.g., save to database)
        // Example: $entityManager = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();
        // $blog = new Blog();
        // $blog->setTitle($data['title']);
        // $entityManager->persist($blog);
        // $entityManager->flush();
        
        return new JsonResponse(['status' => 'success']);
    }
}

    

Step 2: Configure Route for Webhook

The route for the webhook is already defined in the controller using annotations, so no additional configuration is necessary in config/routes.yaml.

Step 3: Copy the Webhook URL

Your webhook URL will be https://yourdomain.com/webhook. Ensure 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 Symfony webhook URL.
   • Content Type: Select JSON.
5. Click Save or Connect.

Step 5: Configure Webhook Payload in Symfony

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

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

Ensure your Symfony 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 Symfony webhook.
3. Check your application to ensure the data is received and processed correctly.

Step 7: Automate Blog Publishing to Symfony

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