Webhook flow

A user submits your HTML form.

Formsig stores the submission and sends a JSON POST to your webhook URL.

Your endpoint returns 2xx to acknowledge processing.

Setup in Formsig

Open your form settings and add an HTTPS webhook destination.

Optionally set a signing secret and verify the signature header on your side.

Handle retries and idempotency in your receiver for robust production behavior.

Good receiver practices

Validate signature and timestamp before processing.

Queue heavy downstream work so your endpoint returns quickly.

Log webhook ids and submission ids to simplify troubleshooting.

Frequently asked questions

Do webhook failures block user form submissions?

No. User submission acceptance and webhook delivery are decoupled for better reliability.

Can I send to Zapier, Make, or my own API?

Yes. Any public HTTPS endpoint that accepts JSON can receive Formsig webhook deliveries.
