Ninja Forms’ Webhooks add-on offers a direct solution to connect WordPress forms to external services without relying on official integrations or third-party plugins. Here’s what it provides:
- Direct Integration:
- No need for official integrations or maintaining custom code. Webhooks facilitate direct connections between WordPress forms and external services that support webhook-based integrations via their API.
- Simple Setup:
- Installation and activation of the Webhooks add-on are straightforward. Once activated, simply add a Webhooks action to any WordPress form.
- Enter the remote URL of the external service you want to integrate with and choose the data sending method (GET or POST requests).
- Data Customization:
- Define the data to be sent using “Args.” This doesn’t require additional code. You can include the service’s API key as a “Value,” along with specifying how the service expects the API key to be named (“Key”).
- Easily map individual field data to be sent using Ninja Forms’ merge tag system, allowing a point-and-click method for data mapping.
- Flexibility and Innovation:
- Integrating via Webhooks offers more flexibility for innovation. It’s not as limiting as relying on third-party services like Zapier.
- Developers can listen to Webhooks and build further functionality based on the data sent. This flexibility allows for the creation of custom solutions based on WordPress form data.
In essence, Webhooks provide a straightforward, direct, and customizable solution to integrate WordPress forms with external services that support webhook-based integrations, granting more control and flexibility to developers for custom solutions.
