Forminator Webhook to ACT! CRM

Hi ​@gs120 

For us to have more info about what you’ve mentioned, post screenshots showing:

• how your webhook is configured in Forminator
• how your Zap steps are outlined in order
• how your Zap steps are configured in the CONFIGURE tab while in EDIT mode with the field mappings visible

Hi Troy,

Here are the screenshots:

Webhook in Forminator:

Zap Steps:

I ended up removing the later steps until I get this webhook thing figured out.

After configuring the Zap webhook URL in Forminator, did you test the Forminator Form so that real data was sent to the Zap webhook URL?

Once you do that, test the Zap trigger step to pull thru the Forminator Form submission you submitted.

Then map the variables in the Zap action step.

If the Zap webhook trigger is not pulling thru data, then that likely means either:

• you did not test the Forminator Form
• Forminator did not fire the webhook URL with the data payload
• the Forminator Form webhook URL is not configured correctly
• you have variables from Zap step 1 mapped incorrectly in Zap action steps

Hi Troy,

Yes I did test the form, per Copilot’s suggestion, several times in fact.

I feel like Forminator is not sending the data over somehow, but the screenshot I provided is the only “configuration” available. I can add the webhook URL, but that’s pretty much it.

​@gs120 

Post screenshots showing your Zap step 1 TEST tab.

Are there any records showing to select?

Make sure the webhook URL you configured in Forminator matches to the Zap webhook URL in the Zap step 1 TEST tab.

If you suspect the issues is with Forminator not sending the webhook URL with a data payload, then you would likely have to try one of these options:

• try reaching out to Forminator Support
• work with a Zapier Partner to possibly solve the issue: https://zapier.com/partnerdirectory

Here is the screenshot:

I’ve tried selecting the records, again, at Copilot’s suggestion. Still not working. The webhook URL is the exact same.

Click on the Zap trigger examples, and post screenshots showing the data points within each example.

If there are data points with values, then remap those variables to the Zap action steps.

Hey ​@gs120,

Your webhooks is not getting any data that’s why you are running in this issue. Just to be sure you are using the correct trigger that is Catch Hook as you have changed the default trigger name, it’s hard to tell. 
 

If you are using the Catch Raw Hook instead of Catch Hook it will not preparse the inputs for you automatically and you will have to use a Formatter action with it. If that’s not the issue, then it’s probably some issue with mapping the data or the way Webhook data is being received. Hope it helps!

Hi ​@gs120  👋! Did you have the chance to try Troy’s and Sparsh from Automation Jinn’s suggestions? Let us know if you still need help!

So, here’s where we currently are:

I have it set so when someone fills out a form, it DOES add a note and an activity to their ACT record - IF they already exist. However, if someone who does NOT yet have an ACT record completes the form, it doesn’t create a record the way it’s supposed to. Copilot has tried about 5 different ways, each time claiming it will 100% work, but it doesn’t.

Does anyone have any suggestions for this?
