What it does
Many business processes stall while someone waits for information from another system, then copies it into a form by hand. This extension handles that waiting point inside Gravity Flow. You add an incoming webhook step anywhere in a workflow, and the workflow holds there until an external application, service or custom tool sends data to it. When the request comes in, the workflow moves on without anyone having to check or nudge it.
The extension is built on Gravity Flow and works with your existing workflows, so it suits sites already running approval or task processes there. It can accept input from third-party applications, custom software, CRM systems and other services that support webhooks. Request mappings in the step settings let you decide how incoming data is handled, and that screen updates without extra page reloads. Documentation and developer guides cover setup and customization.
Best for
- Sites already running approval or task workflows in Gravity Flow
- Teams syncing workflows with CRM systems or third-party apps
- Developers connecting custom software to WordPress form processes
Features
Incoming webhook steps
Insert workflow steps that wait for input from external sources, so third-party systems can respond to your process automatically instead of a person doing it.
Pause and resume control
Hold a workflow at any stage and let it resume automatically once the expected data arrives, which cuts down on manual follow-up.
Connect external services
Link Gravity Flow processes with applications and services that support webhooks, including CRM systems, APIs and custom software.
Request mappings
Set up request mappings in the step settings to control how incoming data is handled, with the settings screen updating without additional page reloads.
Automated data entry
Bring data from external systems straight into a workflow, reducing manual input and the errors that come with retyping information.
Multisite support
Works with WordPress Multisite installations, so networks running several sites can use incoming webhook steps across their workflows.
Clear uninstall notice
An uninstall message on the Gravity Forms uninstall page explains what gets removed when the extension is taken off a site.

Questions about Gravity Flow Incoming Webhook
Do I need Gravity Flow to use this extension?
Yes. It is built as an extension to Gravity Flow and adds a new step type to your existing workflows, so the Gravity Flow core plugin needs to be in place and active on your site.
What kinds of systems can send data to a workflow?
Any external application or service that supports webhooks can send data to a waiting step. That includes third-party applications, CRM systems, APIs, IoT devices and custom software your team has built.
What happens to a workflow while it waits for the webhook?
The workflow pauses at the incoming webhook step and stays there until the external system sends its data or trigger. Once the request arrives, the workflow resumes automatically and continues to the next step.
Can I place the webhook step anywhere in my workflow?
Yes. You can insert an incoming webhook step at any stage of a workflow, so external input can be brought in at the start, in the middle or near the end of a process.
