Webhooks — Overview & Setup Pro

Savebase webhooks let you connect your library to any automation tool — Zapier, Make, Slack, Airtable, Discord, or your own backend. Whenever a post is saved, tagged, deleted, or restored, Savebase fires an HTTP POST to your registered endpoint.

Pro feature

Webhooks are available on Pro and Lifetime plans. Upgrade at savebase.space/pricing.

Overview

When an event occurs in your library, Savebase sends a signed JSON payload to all enabled webhook endpoints registered for that event. You can register multiple endpoints — one per integration if you like.

Setting Up a Webhook

Go to Settings → Webhooks

Navigate to Dashboard → Settings → Webhooks.

Click Add Webhook

Enter your endpoint URL (must be HTTPS), an optional label, and select which events to subscribe to.

Copy your signing secret

After creating the webhook, reveal and copy the Signing Secret. Use this to verify requests come from Savebase.

Test your endpoint

Click Send test event to fire a sample payload immediately.

Supported Events

Event	When it fires
`post.saved`	A new post is added to your library
`post.tagged`	A tag is added to a post
`post.deleted`	A post is moved to trash
`post.restored`	A post is restored from trash

Payload Format

All events share the same JSON envelope:

bash

{
  "event": "post.saved",
  "timestamp": "2026-03-11T12:00:00.000Z",
  "data": {
    "id": 123,
    "url": "https://x.com/user/status/...",
    "title": "Post title or null",
    "source": "x",
    "author_name": "username",
    "tags": ["design", "ai"],
    "saved_at": "2026-03-11T12:00:00.000Z"
  }
}

Zapier Integration

Create a new Zap

In Zapier, click Create Zap and search for Webhooks by Zapier as the trigger app.

Choose Catch Hook

Select Catch Hook. Zapier will generate a unique webhook URL.

Copy the Zapier URL into Settings → Webhooks and select your events.

Test the trigger

Save a post. Zapier detects the payload — map data.url, data.title, etc. to your action steps.

Add your action

Connect any Zapier action — Google Sheets row, Slack message, Notion page, Discord post.

No native signature verification in Zapier

Add a Filter or Code step in Zapier to verify the X-Savebase-Signature header if you need security validation.

Make (Integromat)

Create a new scenario

In Make, add a Webhooks → Custom Webhook trigger module.

Copy the Make URL into Settings → Webhooks.

Determine data structure

Save a post in Savebase — Make auto-detects the payload structure.

Build your scenario

Map data.url, data.source, and other fields to downstream modules like Airtable, Notion, or email.
