Webhooks in Core Forms
Send submission payloads to Zapier, Make, n8n, Slack, or any custom endpoint.
Bundled with Core Forms — the WordPress forms plugin with every premium feature in the box. No add-on tax.
Webhooks are the universal escape hatch. Point Core Forms at any HTTP endpoint and it’ll POST a JSON payload of every submission — perfect for Zapier zaps, Make scenarios, n8n flows, or your own API.
