AI Ability since v2.0.0

create_webhook

Create a webhook — Create a new webhook (always created DISABLED until the user enables it).

Create a new webhook (always created DISABLED until the user enables it). Provide name, endpoint_url, http_method and triggers. Registered as the WordPress Ability flowsystems-webhook-actions/create-webhook, so external AI tools (Claude Code, Cursor) can call it over MCP, or over the Abilities REST route with a scoped API token.

/ Plan step shape

{ "ability": "create_webhook", "input": { "name": …, "endpoint_url": …, "http_method": …, "triggers": …, "auth_credential_id": …, "custom_headers": …, "url_params": … } }

/ Scope & confirmation

Minimum API-token scope for external (MCP/REST) callers: full. Runs without a confirmation pause (the overall plan is still user-approved before execution starts).

/ Input fields

Name	In	Type	Req	Description
name	param	string	yes
endpoint_url	param	string	yes
http_method	param	string	—	GET \| POST \| PUT \| PATCH \| DELETE
triggers	param	array	—
auth_credential_id	param	integer	—
custom_headers	param	object	—
url_params	param	object	—
is_synchronous	param	boolean	—	Delivery mode. false = asynchronous (queued, delivered in the background on the next cron tick, with automatic retries). true = synchronous (delivered inline during the triggering request, so it works without a reliable cron, at the cost of a little latency on that request). Omit to follow the site default.
retry_limit	param	integer	—	Delivery attempts before the job permanently fails, 1-100. Omit to inherit the site-wide setting, then the default of 5.
backoff_strategy	param	string	—	How the wait between retries grows. Omit to inherit the site-wide setting, then exponential. exponential \| linear \| fixed
backoff_base_delay	param	integer	—	Seconds the strategy multiplies, 1-86400. Omit to inherit, then 30.
backoff_max_delay	param	integer	—	Ceiling in seconds for exponential backoff, 1-86400. Omit to inherit, then 3600.
