Can I send a Webhook to a hosting service other than KurocoFront?

Yes, it is possible.
Please use the Smarty plugin {api} to send requests to external services.
You can define the Webhook destination URL and request content in a custom process, and adjust the timing of sending by setting the desired trigger.

This allows you to automatically trigger builds at any desired timing, such as after content updates, even when hosting with services other than KurocoFront.

How to send a Webhook triggered by content updates​

Adjusting the request content​

For example, to send a Deploy Hook to Vercel, write the following code in a custom process.
Please refer to Vercel's documentation to generate the endpoint URL on the Vercel side.

{api
    endpoint='https://api.vercel.com/v1/integrations/deploy/prj_******************'
    method="POST"
    var=response
    status_var=status
}

{logger msg1="vercel deploy" msg2=$response}

Setting the Webhook Sending Timing​

Set the trigger to [After Content Update] for the added custom process.
If you input 1 in the box next to the name, content with Content Definition ID=1 will be targeted by the trigger.

With this setting, when the targeted content is updated, a Deploy Hook will be sent to Vercel, and the build will automatically start.
