Frequently Asked Questions

Did you renamed the plugin?

Yes. Due to this.

Does it works with Gutenberg?

Yes. We support WordPress 5+ and CF7 too.

Does it works for forms sent out of CF7?

Nope. The intention here is to integrate CF7 to Zapier (and another webhooks).

Can I use it without Zapier?

Yep. We are creating a integration to Zapier webhook, but you can insert any URL to receive a JSON formated data.

My sent data is empty

Please, go to support forum to get help.

How can I submit one form to multiple webhooks?

Just add one webhook per line in "Webhook URL" settings.

Please, read this topic for more information.

How can I show webhook errors on form submit?

We already show WordPress request errors. If you want to add theatment to webhook errors, please check this post.

How can I upload files and send link to webhook?

If you send a form with file, we will copy this to a directory before CF7 remove it and send the link to Zapier.

How can I rename a field to webhook?

You can add a "webhook" option to your field on form edit tab.

It's like the "class" option: [text your-field class:form-control id:field-id webhook:webhook-key].

This will create a text field with name "your-field", class "form-control", id "field-id" and will be sent to webhook with key "webhook-key".

How I can get the free text value?

We will replace the value for last option (which is the free_text input) with the value.

This way your webhook will receive the free text value and other options if you allow it (like in checkbox).
