## Description

Outhook Outbound Webhooks sends compact JSON payloads when selected events happen
on your site. It works with n8n, Make, Zapier, and any service that accepts HTTP
requests.

Configure up to 10 endpoints under Settings > Outbound Webhooks. Each endpoint can
have its own events, public post types, signing secret, and delivery mode.

Events:

 * Post published, updated, or trashed.
 * Comment posted or approved.
 * User registered.

Default delivery is non-blocking. Reliable mode waits up to five seconds and schedules
one retry with WP-Cron after five minutes when delivery fails. The delivery log 
keeps the latest 50 results.

Payloads never include comment email addresses, IP addresses, or user email addresses
by default. User email can be enabled per endpoint.

Developer filters: `outhook_payload`, `outhook_should_send`, and `outhook_headers`.

### Privacy

This plugin sends selected site event data to the HTTPS endpoints configured by 
an administrator. It does not contact any service by itself and includes no telemetry,
tracking, remote code, or upsell.

Post payloads can contain public post content and author display names. Comment 
payloads contain the comment author name and content, but never the comment email
address or IP address. User registration payloads exclude email by default; an administrator
may opt in per endpoint. Review the receiving service’s privacy terms and configure
data retention appropriately.

The latest 50 delivery results are stored in the WordPress database. Uninstalling
the plugin deletes endpoint settings and the delivery log.

## Installation

 1. Upload the `outhook-outbound-webhooks` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/` or install
    the ZIP in Plugins > Add New.
 2. Activate Outhook Outbound Webhooks.
 3. Open Settings > Outbound Webhooks.
 4. Add an HTTPS endpoint, select events, and save.
 5. Use Send test event to verify the connection.

## FAQ

### How is a request signed?

When a secret is configured, the plugin sends `X-Outhook-Signature` as `sha256=`
followed by the lowercase HMAC-SHA256 of `timestamp + "." + raw_request_body`. The
timestamp is also sent in `X-Outhook-Timestamp`.

In an n8n Code node, Make code module, Zapier code step, or similar tool, the verification
logic is:

    ```
    expected = "sha256=" + HMAC_SHA256(secret, timestamp_header + "." + raw_body)
    accept only if constant_time_compare(expected, signature_header)
    ```

Use the exact raw request body, before parsing JSON. Also reject timestamps outside
your acceptable time window to reduce replay risk.

### Why does the default log say Queued?

Default requests are non-blocking, so WordPress does not wait for an HTTP response.
Enable Reliable mode when you need an HTTP status and one retry.

### Does the plugin send old content when activated?

No. It only sends newly occurring selected events.

### Can I change a payload or skip a delivery?

Yes. Use `outhook_payload` to filter payload data, `outhook_should_send` to skip
a matching endpoint, and `outhook_headers` to change request headers.
