Automate more, manage less

Automate more, manage less.

From automating translations to syncing product catalogs, Webhooks keep Content.One connected—and your teams productive.

✅ Secure webhook management with role-based controls.

✅ Custom payloads and targeting for advanced workflows.

✅ Scale integrations without adding manual overhead.

What listens for webhooks?

Resources that can trigger webhooks.

Design precise automations by tying webhooks to specific instance assets, models, or account actions.

Note: Publish-action webhooks do not fire for scheduled publishes more than 30 days in the future.

Instances API

Content models & items
Fields & views
Stylesheets & scripts
Redirects & languages
Instance settings

Accounts API

Roles & instance roles
Instance domains
Invites & access
Team governance events

Common use cases

Trigger customer notifications
Pipe updates into data warehouses
Fire translation or localization jobs
Kick off QA or approval workflows

REST API endpoints

Webhook management endpoints.

Create, update, and manage webhook subscriptions programmatically using the Accounts API.

POST   https://accounts.api.zesty.io/v1/webhooks
  → Create a webhook subscription

GET    https://accounts.api.zesty.io/v1/instances/:instance_zuid/webhooks
  → List all webhooks for an instance

GET    https://accounts.api.zesty.io/v1/webhooks/:webhook_zuid
  → Retrieve a webhook by ZUID

DELETE https://accounts.api.zesty.io/v1/webhooks/:webhook_zuid
  → Remove a webhook subscription

Execution logic & conditions

When events happen, Content.One searches for the most specific webhook match and fires the associated payload:

1️⃣ Item-level: matches a specific item ZUID.
2️⃣ Model-level: matches any item in a given content model.
3️⃣ Instance-level: matches any item in the instance.

Example: Updating item 7-ABCD-1234 in model 6-ABCD-1234 on instance 8-ABCD-1234 can trigger all three tiers depending on configured webhooks.

Structured payloads

Design payloads for any downstream system.

Send tailored JSON payloads to CRMs, messaging platforms, queue processors, or custom endpoints.

Include contextual metadata: item ZUIDs, users, timestamps, and routes.
Send formatted payloads for email/SMS services or customer-communication platforms.
Trigger ETL/ELT jobs with ready-to-ingest data structures.

{
  "event": "content.item.updated",
  "instance_zuid": "8-ABCD-1234",
  "model_zuid": "6-ABCD-1234",
  "item_zuid": "7-ABCD-1234",
  "timestamp": "2024-04-12T17:24:35Z",
  "user": {
    "zuid": "5-XYZ-6578",
    "email": "editor@brand.com"

Such an easy system to use and created multiple sites in days not months!

Content.One is such a simple tool to use in creating a CMS website. I met with a colleague for an intro, got an account to experiment with, and built two whole site concepts within two weeks! The Parsley code used is straightforward to understand, and there are some excellent documentation and youtube videos to learn if required. I started with a completely blank structure, and then added my own SCSS and JS and being able to organise and code in the browser was super helpful and fast. Such an easy system to use and created multiple sites in days not months!

Content.One is great as a CMS for a large website

I'm responsible for QA of our site, so I use Content.One as a source of information for how our website is designed to behave and look. Every time I've had to interact with Content.One it's been responsive and I've been able to quickly and easily determine what our designers and developers are doing because of the site's approachable GUI. And when I've had to interact with the people behind the product, they've been timely, helpful, and extremely pleasant to work with. I really like the schema and easily designed templated elements. That along with the versioning and history information allow me to easily look up content changes and page settings. It's also got a great code browser, so I don't have to open up our programming changes in a separate IDE. Content.One is great as a CMS for a large website
