Webhook Action

Send form data to any URL endpoint and map returned JSON data back into your form.

How to Send Form Data with a Webhook in WordPress

Connect your forms to custom endpoints and return data to fields

Webhook Action lets you send WordPress form submission data to any URL endpoint. Supported request methods include POST, GET, PUT, DELETE, and PATCH.

You can map form fields to request keys, add custom key/value pairs, and include additional HTTP headers. WS Form also supports JSON and URL encoded content types.

When response processing is enabled, returned JSON data can be mapped into form fields. You can also map HTTP status codes to ignore the response, process response field mapping, throw an error, or halt action processing.

Common uses include pushing submissions to a custom endpoint, sending data to a third party without a native integration, and pre-loading form fields with data from an endpoint.

  • Flexible request methods

    Send data using POST, GET, PUT, DELETE, or PATCH.

  • Map request data

    Map form fields to request keys, add custom values, and include HTTP headers.

  • Use returned JSON

    Map JSON response data into form fields and control how HTTP status codes are handled.
