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.

  1. 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.
  2. In the Formcrest dashboard, open your form's Webhooks tab and add that URL as a webhook.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
