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

Step 1: Set Up Webhook Controller in Yii

1. 1. Open your Yii project.
   2. Create a new controller for handling webhooks. In the controllers directory, create a file named WebhookController.php.
   3. Add the following code to WebhookController.php:

namespace app\controllers;

use Yii;
use yii\web\Controller;

class WebhookController extends Controller {
    
    public function actionIndex() {
        $data = json_decode(file_get_contents('php://input'), true);
        // Process the incoming blog data (e.g., save to database)
        // Example: Yii::$app->db->createCommand()->insert('blogs', $data)->execute();
        return json_encode(['status' => 'success']);
    }
}

    

Step 2: Configure Route for Webhook

1. 1. Open the config/web.php file.
   2. Add a new route for the webhook under components:

'urlManager' => [
        'enablePrettyUrl' => true,
        'showScriptName' => false,
        'rules' => [
            'webhook' => 'webhook/index',
        ],
    ],
    

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 Yii webhook URL.
   • Content Type: Select JSON.
5. Click Save or Connect.

Step 5: Configure Webhook Payload in Yii

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

Step 7: Automate Blog Publishing to Yii

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