Webhooks

Receive real-time notifications when events occur in your FavForm account.

Webhooks are available on the Business plan.

Setting up webhooks

Webhooks are configured per form, poll, or widget in the form builder.

Open your form, poll, or widget in the form builder
Go to the Publish tab
Scroll to Business Features
Enter your webhook URL in the "Webhook URL" field
Click "Test" to verify your endpoint
Save your changes

Webhook payload

When an event occurs, we send a POST request to your endpoint with a JSON payload. Here's an example for a form submission:

JSON

{
  "event": "form.submitted",
  "timestamp": "2026-01-26T22:45:00.000Z",
  "data": {
    "id": "response-uuid",
    "formId": "form-uuid",
    "title": "Contact Form",
    "answers": {
      "name": "John Doe",
      "email": "john@example.com",
      "message": "Hello!"
    },
    "metadata": {
      "domain": "example.com",
      "browser": "chrome",
      "device": "desktop",
      "os": "macos",
      "country": "US"
    }
  }
}

HTTP headers

Each webhook request includes the following headers:

Header	Description
Content-Type	application/json
User-Agent	FavForm-Webhook/1.0
X-FavForm-Event	The event type (e.g., form.submitted)
X-FavForm-Timestamp	ISO 8601 timestamp of the event

Available events

Event	Description
form.submitted	A form response was submitted
poll.voted	A vote was cast on a poll
widget.submitted	A widget response was submitted

Event payloads

    "id": "vote-uuid",
    "pollId": "poll-uuid",
    "title": "Favorite Color",

Best practices

Respond with a 2xx status code within 10 seconds
Process webhooks asynchronously if needed
Use the X-FavForm-Timestamp header to verify freshness
Log webhook payloads for debugging

Integrations

Webhooks work great with automation platforms:

Zapier — Use the "Webhooks by Zapier" trigger
Make (Integromat) — Use the "Webhooks" module
n8n — Use the "Webhook" trigger node
Pipedream — Create an HTTP webhook source
