How to Send Caldera Forms Submissions to Webhook
Webhook is a integration platform. Here is how to pipe Caldera Forms submissions straight into Webhook using Advanced Form Integration. The setup takes about five minutes and runs entirely on your own server.
Skip the automation middleman
Rather than routing data through a third-party cloud, AFI sends it directly from your WordPress server to integration. No task meter, no monthly bill.
What you will need
- A WordPress site with Caldera Forms installed and at least one form.
- A Webhook account.
- The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).
Connect Webhook to AFI
Webhook uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication. In AFI → Settings → Webhook, click Authorize and grant access. This is a one-time step.
Setting up the integration
1. Create a new integration
Go to AFI → Add New. Name it Caldera Forms to Webhook.
2. Pick your trigger
Select Caldera Forms as the form provider and choose the form you want to connect. AFI detects the fields automatically.
3. Select Webhook as the destination
Choose Webhook from the platform dropdown and pick Send Webhook. This sends an HTTP POST to a webhook URL.
4. Map fields
Match each Webhook field on the left to the corresponding Caldera Forms field on the right. You can also use smart tags like {{_submission_date}} and {{utm_source}}.
5. Add conditions if needed
Only want to send certain submissions? Set up a conditional rule based on any form field value.
6. Save and test
Click Save Integration. Fill out your Caldera Forms form and submit. Check Webhook to confirm the data arrived. If anything looks wrong, open AFI → Log to see the exact request and response.
Free vs Pro
The free version maps any JSON payload to Webhook with unlimited submissions. Pro adds custom headers and authentication. No per-submission fees on any plan.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need coding skills?
No. Everything is configured through a visual interface, including field mapping.
Will adding this slow down my form?
No. AFI sends data to the destination after the form submission completes. Your visitors see the normal confirmation message without any delay.
Can I connect multiple forms?
Yes. Create a separate integration for each form, or send one form to multiple platforms.
