Anyone for Webmention?

I must be missing something basic. I have a rel="me" with my email in the page

I cannot verify the rel="me" with email as I used the shortcut approach to authenticate myself with GitHub.

I authenticating using this at indieauth and registered the code it emailed me; but I don’t seem to be able to ‘get’ webmentions.

The webmentions showing up on your site comes later. You need to first verify if you can see your received webmentions on your endpoint. See Webmention.io.

Edit: So I realised I hadn’t also registered at webmention.io but only at indieauth, and once I did so, I can now see webmentions if I rebuild.

That tells how focused reading I do … I didn’t even read that edit and started answering the above. Anyways, now that I typed it, I’ll leave it there

Can you say something about how your rebuild trigger method works?

I have this diagram that summarizes my flow.

I’m assuming that requires something beyond the hugo-refined theme itself.

Yes, a combination of:

1. Make webmention.io trigger Zapier hook on receiving each mention. See Webmention.io.
2. I user Zapier to send me emails on receiving mentions + trigger Netlify’s build hook. Create a Netlify build hook at: https://app.netlify.com/sites/YOUR-SITE/settings/deploys#build-hooks. This of course requires that you deploy your site using Netlify.

I could have even made webmention.io trigger the Netlify hook directly. But I wanted Zapier so that I can spawn off multiple actions (like sending me email + triggering Netlify) from that one trigger from webmention.io.
