Overview

The Webhook feature allows you to send form submission data to external services using webhooks. This feature is available in all plans, both Free and Pro.

Features

• Configure webhooks at the form level.
• Set the Webhook URL, request type (only POST is supported), and custom headers.
• Automatically trigger the webhook on a successful transaction.
• A dedicated "Notifications & Integrations" tab in the form settings for easy configuration.
• A "Test Webhook" button to verify the connection.

Configuration

1. Accessing the Webhook Settings

To configure a webhook:

1. Navigate to the form settings.
2. Click on the Notifications & Integrations tab.

2. Adding a Webhook

1. Enter the Webhook URL where the data should be sent.
2. Specify any Headers (e.g., Content-Type: application/json).
3. Click Save Changes.

3. Supported Request Type

• Only POST requests are supported. The form submission data is too large for GET requests, which may cause failures.

4. Testing the Webhook

To ensure the webhook is working correctly:

1. Click the Test Webhook button.
2. You can use https://webhook.site/ to receive and inspect webhook requests.

When is the Webhook Triggered?

The webhook is triggered only when a transaction is successfully recorded.

Notes

• Webhooks allow seamless integration with external platforms, enabling automation and real-time data exchange.
• Ensure the endpoint you configure is set up to handle POST requests and parse JSON payloads correctly.
• If the webhook fails, check the response logs in your receiving service.

Conclusion

The built-in Webhook feature provides a powerful way to connect your forms with external systems. By leveraging this feature, you can automate workflows and integrate payment forms with third-party services efficiently.
