Bug Fixes

Webhook Firing for Internal Integrations

Fixed an issue where webhooks for internal integrations (like ActivityPub) would not fire when a Ghost(Pro) site had reached its custom integrations limit. The webhook service previously couldn't differentiate between webhooks for custom integrations and internal ones, causing all webhooks to be blocked when limits were reached.

The fix involved refactoring the webhook restriction logic to the WebhookTrigger component, allowing for more specific control over which webhooks should be triggered based on the integration type.

New Features

No new features were added in this release. The changes were focused on fixing webhook functionality for internal integrations.

Security Updates

No security fixes were included in this release.

Performance Improvements

No specific performance improvements were included in this release. The changes were focused on fixing functionality rather than performance optimization.

Impact Summary

This release addresses a specific issue with webhooks not firing for internal integrations when custom integration limits are reached. The fix ensures that internal integrations like ActivityPub continue to function properly regardless of a site's plan limitations.

The changes maintain backward compatibility and don't introduce any new features or breaking changes. The refactoring of webhook restriction logic to the WebhookTrigger component provides more granular control over webhook behavior, allowing Ghost to differentiate between webhooks for custom integrations and internal ones.

This improvement is particularly important for Ghost(Pro) users who rely on internal integrations, as it ensures these integrations work reliably regardless of plan limitations.
