What it does

Hootsuite Webhooks Events is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Implement Hootsuite webhook signature validation and event handling. Use when setting up webhook endpoints, implementing signature verification, or handling Hootsuite event notifications securely. Trigger with phrases like "hootsuite webhook", "hootsuite events", "hootsuite webhook signature", "handle hootsuite events", "hootsuite notifications".

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts. Compatibility notes: Designed for Claude Code

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Webhooks. The repository describes itself as: Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Setting up webhook endpoints
  • Implementing signature verification
  • Handling Hootsuite event notifications securely
  • With phrases like hootsuite webhook

Example prompts

  • “hootsuite webhook”
  • “hootsuite events”
  • “hootsuite webhook signature”
  • “/hootsuite-webhooks-events”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit, Bash(curl:*)

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Poll for Message Status Changes
  2. Build Custom Scheduling Webhook
  3. Hootsuite App Directory Webhooks

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Write
    • Edit
    • Bash(curl:*)

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are typescript).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • platform.hootsuite.com

    Also links to:

    • developer.hootsuite.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

  • Compatibility

    Designed for Claude Code

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Hootsuite Webhooks Events loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 94 tokens; SKILL.md has 172 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~94
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Hootsuite Webhooks & Events

Overview

Hootsuite provides webhook notifications for social stream events when building Hootsuite App Directory integrations. For API-only integrations, you poll for message state changes or implement your own scheduling system with callbacks.

Instructions

Step 1: Poll for Message Status Changes
typescript
// Since Hootsuite REST API doesn't push webhooks for message status,
// poll for changes to scheduled messages
async function pollMessageStatus(messageId: string, intervalMs = 30000) {
  const check = async () => {
    const response = await fetch(`https://platform.hootsuite.com/v1/messages/${messageId}`, {
      headers: { 'Authorization': `Bearer ${await getStoredToken()}` },
    });
    const { data } = await response.json();

    if (data.state === 'SENT') {
      console.log(`Message ${messageId} sent at ${data.sentAt}`);
      return data;
    } else if (data.state === 'FAILED' || data.state === 'REJECTED') {
      console.error(`Message ${messageId} failed: ${data.state}`);
      return data;
    }

    console.log(`Message ${messageId}: ${data.state}, checking again...`);
    await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, intervalMs));
    return check();
  };

  return check();
}
Step 2: Build Custom Scheduling Webhook
typescript
// Your own webhook system to track scheduled post status
import express from 'express';

const app = express();
app.use(express.json());

// Cron job checks scheduled posts and fires webhooks
async function checkScheduledPosts() {
  const response = await fetch('https://platform.hootsuite.com/v1/messages?state=SENT&limit=50', {
    headers: { 'Authorization': `Bearer ${await getStoredToken()}` },
  });
  const { data } = await response.json();

  for (const msg of data) {
    // Notify your systems about sent posts
    await fetch(process.env.INTERNAL_WEBHOOK_URL!, {
      method: 'POST',
      headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
      body: JSON.stringify({ event: 'post.sent', messageId: msg.id, sentAt: msg.sentAt, text: msg.text }),
    });
  }
}
Step 3: Hootsuite App Directory Webhooks

For apps listed in the Hootsuite App Directory, you receive stream events:

typescript
// Webhook handler for Hootsuite App Directory integration
app.post('/webhooks/hootsuite', async (req, res) => {
  const { type, data } = req.body;
  switch (type) {
    case 'message.sent': console.log('Post sent:', data); break;
    case 'message.failed': console.error('Post failed:', data); break;
    case 'stream.message': console.log('New social message:', data); break;
  }
  res.status(200).json({ received: true });
});

Prerequisites

  • A secret-manager webhook secret, event-origin allowlist, replay-window policy, and opaque event ledger.
  • A sandbox consumer with a tested disable/cancel control for downstream scheduling or publishing.

Output

Return an event receipt with type, opaque event ID, signature/timestamp result, idempotency outcome, queue state, draft/public assertion, and rollback reference. Exclude payload copy, media, handles, and signatures.

Error Handling

Reject unknown origin, stale/replayed delivery, malformed payload, unknown profile/audience, or non-idempotent retry. Quarantine the event and disable the consumer if integrity or approval is uncertain.

Examples

type=post.approved; event=evt-opaque-9; signature=pass; replay=absent; profile=sandbox-brand; enqueue=once; public_posts=0; rollback=consumer-disabled proves the boundary.
