External services
Automatic social publishing is optional and disabled by default. When a site
administrator enables it, confirms permission, and supplies a webhook URL, the
plugin sends the story title, excerpt, URL, featured-image URL, author, site
name, publication time, and formatted message to that administrator-selected
service. No request is sent until the administrator explicitly configures and
enables a connection. Data handling is governed by the selected provider’s
terms and privacy policy.
