I’m looking to make a change to the raw data for a bunch of my posts in a rake task and then re-cook the result.  
When this happens I also want to trigger the webhook for `post_updated`

What’s the best practice way to achieve this?

Many thanks.

From your `rails console`, you can run `WebHook.enqueue_post_hooks(:post_edited, post)`. Make sure Sidekiq is running though.
