Problem Solved

This workflow addresses the need for automated content deployment on Netlify triggered by webhooks. It eliminates the manual steps required to update website content, allowing for real-time updates based on events, which can lead to improved user engagement and faster response times.

Workflow Steps

1. Webhook Trigger: The workflow starts when a POST request is received at the specified webhook URL, which is unique to this workflow.
2. Data Extraction: The workflow captures the incoming data, specifically looking for the title field within the JSON body of the request.
3. Netlify Action: Using the extracted title, the workflow then calls the Netlify API to create a new site deployment, ensuring that the latest content is reflected on the website.
4. Completion: The workflow completes the process, and the user can verify that the content has been updated on their Netlify-hosted site.
