What it does
Collecting form entries is only half the job when that data also needs to reach a CRM, a mailing list or a custom app. Copying entries by hand takes time and invites mistakes. This plugin works alongside Formidable Forms (which it requires) and passes submission data to outside systems automatically whenever someone submits or updates a form, keeping connected databases and applications current.
Setup happens in a dashboard rather than in code. You choose the request type, including GET, POST, PUT and DELETE, define how form data maps to the external system, and pick an authentication method such as API keys or OAuth. Built-in logs record each request and response, which helps when you need to check that an integration is working or track down a problem.
Best for
- Sites built on Formidable Forms that feed CRMs or mailing lists
- Developers connecting forms to custom applications
- Businesses automating data entry from form submissions
