Lab Activity 4: The Final Connection

🎯 Objective

Connect your folder monitor script to the internet by extending it to send processed files and AI-generated text captions to a social media scheduling endpoint using a webhook.

⏱️ Time Allocation

Webhook Retrieval: 10 minutes
Script Modification & Test: 30 minutes

🛠️ Materials Required

Scheduling platform endpoint (e.g., Buffer, Make.com, or Zapier webhook URL).
Google Antigravity workspace (with the file_monitor.py script).

📋 Step-by-Step Instructions

Obtain Your Webhook URL:

Open your Zapier or Make.com dashboard.
Create a new webhook trigger.
Copy the unique HTTP URL.

Instruct Antigravity to Modify the Script:

In the Antigravity prompt interface, tell the agent:

"Modify the file_monitor.py script. When a file is processed, send an HTTP POST request to this webhook URL: [Insert Webhook URL]. The body of the post should contain the file name, the file size, and a sample caption 'New post auto-published by AI automation!'."

Review code adjustments:

Inspect the diff showing the imported requests library and the webhook code block.
Click Approve.

Deploy and Verify:

Run the updated script.
Drop a new file into raw_assets/.
Check your webhook platform dashboard to verify the webhook fired and the details were received.
