Introduction

The popular Gravity Forms plugin for WordPress has an addon called "Webhooks" which allows you to send form data to a custom URL endpoint.

However it is limited because only string values can be sent. This plugin allows you to send arrays & objects (using psudo JSON syntax) as well as int values.

It's a bit hacky, so please read the Usage and Example sections below.

Usage

Arrays and Objects (JSON Syntax)

1. Append _as_json' in the field name.
2. Use JSON syntax with SINGLE QUOTES in the field value.

The _as_json suffix will be removed in the final output.

You can still send form data using the default {fieldName:fieldId} syntax. This will be resolved before the string is converted to JSON

Send int instead of string

1. Append _as_int in the field name
2. Enter integer values in the field value

The _as_int suffix will be removed in the final output.

Example

Sending JSON Objects

In the Gravity Forms Webhook GUI:

# Note the use of single quotes
users_as_json: {{'name':'John','gender':'male'}, {'name':'Jill','gender':'female'}}

This will output:

// Note '_as_json' is truncated
users: {
  {
    name: "John",
    gender: "male"
  },
  {
    name: "Jill",
    gender: "female"
  }
}

Sending int values

In the Gravity Forms Webhook GUI:

answer_as_int: 42

This will output:

// Note '_as_int' is truncated
answer: 42
