Zapier
Pipe new submissions into any of the 6,000+ apps on Zapier. Two ways to connect today; a native Formcrest app on the Zapier directory is in the works.
Option 1 — Webhooks by Zapier (no code)
Zapier's built-in Webhooks by Zapier trigger pairs with Formcrest form webhooks (Pro+). Note that Webhooks by Zapier is a premium feature on Zapier's side.
- In Zapier, create a Zap with the trigger Webhooks by Zapier → Catch Hook. Zapier shows you a unique URL like
https://hooks.zapier.com/hooks/catch/…— copy it. - In the Formcrest dashboard, open your form's Webhooks tab and add that URL as a webhook.
- Send a test submission to your form, then click Test trigger in Zapier. The submission arrives with the payload documented in the webhooks guide — your form fields are under
submission.fields. - Add your action step (Sheets row, CRM contact, Slack message, anything) and turn the Zap on.
Form webhooks are signed and retried with backoff — see the webhooks guide for the signature scheme (you can skip verification for Zapier catch hooks; the URL itself is the secret).
Option 2 — REST hooks via the API
If you're building your own Zapier app or any service that manages subscriptions programmatically, use our REST-hook endpoints (Pro+): subscribe a URL with POST /v1/api/hooks and we deliver every new submission to it as a flat JSON object — no polling. Answer 410 Gone to unsubscribe implicitly, or call DELETE /v1/api/hooks/:id. Authentication is an API key from Account → API keys.
Full request/response shapes are in the Management API reference.
Native Zapier app
A first-party Formcrest app on the Zapier directory — search "Formcrest", pick a form from a dropdown, done — is built on the REST-hook API above and is awaiting directory publication. This page will be updated when it's listed; until then, Option 1 covers the same use cases.
Next steps
- Webhooks — payload shape, signing, retries.
- Management API — API keys and the REST-hook endpoints.
- Google Sheets and Notion — first-party integrations that skip Zapier entirely.
