Auto Share Plugin (Webhook Edition)
A smart, lightweight WordPress plugin that automatically triggers social media sharing whenever you publish a new article.
🚀 The "Smart" Approach
Instead of handling complex and ever-changing social media APIs (Facebook, X, Threads) individually within WordPress, this plugin uses Webhooks.
By sending a single, secure payload to an automation platform like Make.com, Zapier, or Ayrshare, you can distribute your content to dozens of social platforms simultaneously without maintaining individual API integrations.
✨ Features
- Automated Trigger: Fires exactly when you hit "Publish".
- External Webhook Support: Connect to any automation tool.
- Payload Data: Sends Post Title, Permalinks, and Excerpt.
- Non-blocking Execution: Uses
wp_remote_postwith a timeout and async-like behavior to ensure your WordPress editor remains fast. - WPCS Compliant: Clean, standardized code for maximum compatibility.
🛠️ Installation
- Upload the
auto-share-pluginfolder to the/wp-content/plugins/directory. - Activate the plugin via the 'Plugins' menu.
- Go to Settings > Auto Share and enter your Webhook URL.
📋 Recommended Workflow
- Create a "Webhooks" trigger in Make.com or Zapier.
- Connect that trigger to social media modules (Facebook Page, X/Twitter, etc.).
- Copy the Webhook URL into this plugin's settings.
- Publish a post and watch it go live everywhere!
