Webhook is a technique used to send HTTP POST notifications to a URL. They can be used to connect apps together or just send data. We are excited to release webhooks on JotForm. You can now get your form submissions posted to a URL.
You can setup webhooks form your forms on the Form Builder.
To get to WebHooks, just click on the Settings tab, click on Integrations, type “webhooks” in the search box, and finally click on the WebHooks icon:
Enter the URL where you’d like to receive form submissions, and click on the “Complete Integration” button.
Examples
Let’s say you’d like to be able to get a copy of your form submissions and save them on your own database. You can now use webhooks to get the results and use a small PHP script to load the received data into your database.
If you sell software using a Jotform payment form you can generate application keys and send them over email. The webhook will notify your key generation script with the name and email address of the purchaser.
Another use case is to integrate Jotform forms 3rd party apps. If you are a web app provider you can use Jotform’s webhooks to implement integration with Jotform. This brings us to…
API Support for Webhooks
We have also added ability to setup webhooks on the fly using Jotform API. This functionality can be used by 3rd party apps who would like to receive submission data on one or many of your submissions. It is both possible to get a list of all existing webhooks or create a new webhook over the API.
We are improving Jotform API because we believe it will bring great value to our Jotform users. We hope that in the next few months we will see various types of integrations and apps built on top of Jotform API. Webhooks are a very crucial aspect of that.

Hello,
I am trying to get a notification submission to be sent in plain text. I read a webhook was the best way to do this. However, I do not know my end point url. My end goal, is to get the submissions in plain text format by email to then be transmitted to our database which only reads plain text.

Hi, is there a way to interact with an rest API?
I want a simple way of having users signup, a form comes to mind, but i need to sent the data to an API and as far as i can see the webhooks cant take variables in them right?

Hi,
Jotform is really fantastic, but unfortunately I am not able to connect the webhook to get instant SMS/Mobile notification. Can you please help me to get the instant notification on any form submission. It will be really a great help so as to start using my form.
I have read multiple documents but not able to get my form ID and not able to find a step by step process to create the instant notification.
Look for your kind support.

Sto lavorando ad un'applicazione e sto usando Jot-Form da 1 anno circa. Essermi trovato su questa pagina oggi non è un caso, stavo cercando proprio questo. Adesso capisco che sono ad un buon punto e spero di dare il giusto valore a questa STUPENDA piattaforma!!!

I have an API key and ID for the database i am trying to post to. I don't know how to make jotform post it in the right format so the database will receive it correctly. any ideas?

none of the "View Answer" links are working. I was able to create the page on my website for data to transfer to, using the Webhooks link on the form itself, but I have no idea how to create the page content with php. Please help.

:( Why did they kill this? In form builder view I no longer see the WebHooks icon.

I would also like more information about data going directly to an Access database.
As others have mentioned, the View Answer links above do not work.

Hi there,
I am trying to do this too, get the data to go straigh into an Access database. However, I have no idea about how to go about writing php to get this to work. The people who've asked about it above have 'view answer' links but they don't seem to work. Could anyone point me in the right direction? Many thanks,Kate

How do we get URL to post ie Clinchpad?
February 19, 2014
Can we see the code in notifications.php? I'm new to php and this would be useful. None of the links on the thread currently show the code in that file.

I imagine it's no different from the previous method of sending HTTP Post data via the Thank You page. With this method, you no longer have to create a custom Thank-you page.

Same question here. I have two new web sites getting ready to go online using Jotforms and both clients have been asking for this exact functionality, but I am not a PHP Programmer.
Do you have example code on how to implement this?

Can you post a sample php script for reporting data which has been transferred via web-hook to a new spreadsheet to a database?

Can any one get me book on creating data base with php?

Works Great!!
One suggestion if I may - do not send sensitive credit card data like card number/expiration/security code through webhooks.
July 5, 2013
This is will simplify things for me and my websites where I need feedback. All I have to do now is set up a "PHP" scheme. Do you by any chance have any sample code for this? This would be great and save me time.
