# Video posted

`POST video.published` (webhook)

A tracked account posted a new video, seen in the next sync. Only videos published after your organization started tracking the account are reported, never older ones a first sync or a larger video limit brings in. Opt-in: endpoints subscribed to all events (`*`) do not receive it; subscribe to it by name.

## Headers

- `webhook-id` string, required
- `webhook-timestamp` string, required
- `webhook-signature` string, required

## Payload

- VideoPublishedWebhookEvent: A tracked account posted a new video, seen in the next sync. Only videos published after your organization started tracking the account are reported, never older ones a first sync or a larger video limit brings in. Opt-in: endpoints subscribed to all events (`*`) do not receive it; subscribe to it by name.

  - `organizationId` string, required
  - `actor` WebhookActor, required: Who caused the event: a member (`user`), an API key (`apiKeyId`), a creator, or viral.app itself (`system`); `surface` says where the change entered. Skip events your own API key caused to avoid loops.
