Integrating Gravity Forms with WP Webhooks – Step-by-Step Tutorial

This article will also provide you with a step-by-step guide on how to build Gravity Forms Webhooks Integration from scratch. Read along to learn more about Gravity Forms Webhooks Integration!

If you are looking for a simple way to process data collected from Gravity Forms in your web applications or use it in your business workflows then Webhook is a one-stop solution for you.

By using Webhooks, you can receive form submissions as soon as they are collected without any need for APIs.

Prerequisites

• Basic hands-on experience on WordPress.

Introduction and Key Features of Gravity Forms

1. Conditional Logic: It is one of the most important features of Gravity Forms. You can use Conditional Logic to show/hide form fields based on the data the user entered in the previous field.
2. Visual Drag and Drop Builder: Gravity Forms houses a visual Drag and Drop Builder that allows you to add new form fields to the form area by simply dragging and dropping them. It is also possible to rearrange the field sequence by dragging them to the desired location.
3. Easy Entry Management: All form submissions in Gravity Forms are stored as Entries. Entries offer a centralized backend area in your WordPress installation where you can check all of the submissions.
4. Email Notifications: With Conditional Logic, you can set up Email notifications for form submissions. This way, notifications will be sent to different people based on the information entered by them in the form.
5. Limit Number of Submissions: You can impose restrictions on your form, such as the maximum number of entries that can be submitted.

Introduction and Key Features of Webhooks

• A Webhook is a method of altering and modifying the behavior of web pages or web applications through the use of Custom Callbacks.
• It is essentially a user-defined HTTP Callback that is triggered by specific events. When the trigger event occurs on the source website, the Webhook Records it, Collects the Data, and Sends it in the form of an HTTP request to the URL specified in the form.
• A trigger event can be a Blog Comment, a Sign-up, Form Submission, etc.
• A Webhook delivers data to other applications as it happens, which means you get data immediately, unlike traditional APIs, which require you to poll data frequently in order to get it in real-time.
• Webhooks are now much more efficient for both providers and consumers. Webhooks are commonly used to connect two distinct applications. You can even leverage Webhooks to set up an event on one site to trigger an action on another.

1. Gravity Forms Webhooks Add-On allows you to make remote HTTP requests to external services or APIs once a form is submitted.
