Learn how to use webhooks to send GenZform submissions to any external service or API.

Webhooks let you automatically send form submission data to any URL. When someone submits your form, GenZform sends the data to your specified endpoint in real-time.

What Are Webhooks?

A webhook is an HTTP POST request sent to a URL you specify whenever a form is submitted. It contains all the form data as JSON, allowing you to:

Send data to your own server or application
Trigger custom workflows
Integrate with services that don't have direct integrations
Build custom automation

Webhooks are a powerful way to connect GenZform to any service that accepts HTTP requests.

How to Set Up Webhooks

Open your form and go to Integrations

Navigate to your form in the dashboard and click the Integrations tab.

Webhook Payload

When a form is submitted, GenZform sends a JSON payload:

{
  "form_id": "frm_abc123",
  "form_name": "Contact Form",
  "submitted_at": "2024-01-15T10:30:00Z",
  "data": {
    "name": "John Doe",
    "email": "[email protected]",
    "message": "Hello, I have a question..."
  }
}
