SOBI FORMS
Free in core · 1.7.3+
Unlimited free webhooks for WordPress forms (Zapier, Make, n8n)
Sobi Forms sends every submission to Zapier, Make, n8n, or any HTTPS endpoint — on the free plugin, with no submission caps and no “upgrade to connect” gate on the basics. Configure unlimited webhook URLs per form, sign every request, inspect failures, and retry in one click.
What you get free
-
Unlimited webhooks
Add as many endpoints as you need per form — staging + production, CRM + Slack, and more.
-
HMAC signing
Every POST is signed (X-Sobi-Signature) with a per-webhook secret you can copy or regenerate in the builder.
-
Delivery logs
See URL, HTTP status, and error details for every attempt under Settings → Webhooks → Logs.
-
One-click retry
Replay a failed delivery from the log without asking the visitor to submit again.
-
Run test
Send sample field values in the same JSON shape as a real submission — map keys in Zapier or webhook.site before go-live.
-
Stable JSON payload (v1)
Predictable form.submission.created events with form metadata, submission id, field values, and source page.
-
File uploads included
File fields send filename and URL metadata in the payload — no extra connector plugin.
-
Non-blocking delivery
Visitors are not held up while your endpoint responds; failures are logged for you to fix.
Why teams pick Sobi Forms
Many WordPress form plugins treat webhooks as a paid add-on: one URL only, no logs, no retry, or no signature verification. Sobi Forms ships the integrator essentials in core — because reliable automation should not be a paywall trick.
| Capability | Sobi Forms (free) | Typical form plugins |
|---|---|---|
| Webhooks per form | Unlimited | Often 1, or paid tier only |
| Request signing (HMAC) | Included | Rare on free; sometimes absent entirely |
| Delivery logs | Included | Often missing or Pro-only |
| Retry failed deliveries | One-click from logs | Manual re-submit or not available |
| Test with sample data | Real submission JSON shape | Ping-only test or no test at all |
| Submission limits on webhooks | None | Varies; some plugins cap free usage |
Built for real stacks
Connect to Zapier, Make, n8n, custom Laravel/Node APIs, or internal tools. The default payload is documented and versioned (sobiforms_webhook_version: 1), so your automations stay stable as the plugin evolves. Verify signatures on your receiver — or ignore the header if you do not need it.
Security without the enterprise price tag
- HTTPS endpoints only (validated in the builder).
- Per-automation signing secret — rotate from Security without changing your URL.
- Signed requests prove payloads came from your site, not a random POST.
- Logs help you audit what was sent and when.
How to set it up (2 minutes)
- Install Sobi Forms from WordPress.org.
- Open your form → Automations → Add automation → paste your webhook URL.
- Click Run test, map fields in your tool, then save the form.
- Submit once for real; check Settings → Webhooks → Logs if anything fails.
Need more power later?
Pro adds automation extras — conditions (“only if country = FR”), custom JSON mapping, extra headers, and auth modes. The free tier already covers unlimited signed webhooks, logs, retry, and test sends — the baseline most teams never outgrow.
