I did find [a post](https://meta.discourse.org/t/is-it-possible-to-manually-trigger-a-web-hook-for-post-updated/68074/2) on this but didn’t want to revive a 3-year-old thread.

I can’t even class myself as a novice when it comes to Ruby because I just haven’t used it. But basically, I have around 30 topics in a specific category that I want to trigger a webhook for (either new topic or post edited).

I’ve got as far as entering the command from the aforementioned topic but now I’m lost. What should “post” represent? I’ve tried the post ID in various ways, but I’m getting no where and can’t seem to find any answers.

Appreciate this may be an easy action for some, but I literally have zero experience with ruby, other than running the odd command I’ve found on this forum.

Any help appreciated! 🙂
