Did you renamed the plugin?
Yes. Due to this.

Yes. We support WordPress 5+ and CF7 too.
Does it works for forms sent out of CF7?
Nope. The intention here is to integrate CF7 to Zapier (and another webhooks).
Can I use it without Zapier?
Yep. We are creating a integration to Zapier webhook, but you can insert any URL to receive a JSON formated data.

How can I submit one form to multiple webhooks?
Just add one webhook per line in “Webhook URL” settings.
Please, read this topic for more information.
How can I show webhook errors on form submit?
We already show WordPress request errors. If you want to add theatment to webhook errors, please check this post.
How can I upload files and send link to webhook?
If you send a form with file, we will copy this to a directory before CF7 remove it and send the link to Zapier.
How can I rename a field to webhook?
You can add a “webhook” option to your field on form edit tab.
It’s like the “class” option: [text your-field class:form-control id:field-id webhook:webhook-key].
This will create a text field with name “your-field”, class “form-control”, id “field-id” and will be sent to webhook with key “webhook-key”.
How I can get the free text value?
We will replace the value for last option (which is the free_text input) with the value.
This way your webhook will receive the free text value and other options if you allow it (like in checkbox).
