# Netlify Build Plugin: Automatically discover any webmentions and send them after every production build

> **Note:** This is a fork of [CodeFoodPixels/netlify-plugin-webmentions](https://github.com/CodeFoodPixels/netlify-plugin-webmentions) with improved error handling that logs warnings instead of failing the build on timeouts/errors.
>
> To use this fork instead of the npm package (which also overrides the Netlify app plugin):
> ```bash
> npm install -D github:miklb/netlify-plugin-webmentions
> ```
> Then add to `netlify.toml`:
> ```toml
> [[plugins]]
> package = "netlify-plugin-webmentions"
> ```

Automatically discover any webmentions and send them after every production build.

This plugin will send webmentions to any mentioned websites that have a webmention endpoint after every production build. The plugin can be used without any configuration if using the defaults.
