Webhooks
A webhook is an HTTP POST request that Formtorch sends to a URL you control every time a new submission arrives. Use webhooks to connect form submissions to any external service: a Slack channel, a Zapier workflow, your own API, or a custom backend.
How webhooks work
When a submission passes validation and spam scoring, Formtorch sends a POST request to each configured webhook endpoint. The payload is a JSON object containing the submission fields and metadata.
Webhook vs. email notifications
Email notifications are for humans. Webhooks are for systems. Use webhooks when you want to trigger automated workflows, sync data to a database, or fan out a submission to multiple services.
For setup instructions, payload format, signature verification, and event types, see Webhooks.
