Zapier and Webhooks
Zapier and Webhooks
Section titled “Zapier and Webhooks”Webhooks let you send Formkove submissions to any HTTP endpoint — which means you can connect to Zapier, Make, Pipedream, n8n, CRMs, databases, or your own backend.
This is a Pro feature.
How Webhooks Work
Section titled “How Webhooks Work”When a submission comes in, Formkove sends an HTTPS POST to your configured URL with the form data as JSON. Your endpoint receives it, processes it, and returns a 200 OK.
Setting Up a Webhook
Section titled “Setting Up a Webhook”- Open app.formkove.com and select your form
- Go to Integrations → Webhook
- Paste your endpoint URL
- Save
Payload Structure
Section titled “Payload Structure”{ "form_id": "abc123", "submitted_at": "2025-01-15T10:30:00Z", "name": "Jane Smith", "email": "jane@example.com", "message": "Hello, I'd like to learn more.", "subject": "New contact from your site", "ai_tags": ["Sales inquiry"], "spam_score": 8, "sentiment": "positive"}What gets sent depends on what fields you have in your form. Custom fields come through as-is. Formkove does not send access_key, botcheck, or attachment data to webhooks.
