Most WordPress webhook plugins only push data out— RT Connect Webhooks also lets external tools push data **in**, so you can automate WordPress in both directions from a single, clean admin screen with dedicated tabs for **Outgoing Webhooks**, **Incoming Actions**, and a full **Logs** view. #### What can you automate with this WordPress webhooks plugin? * Send an **outgoing webhook** the moment something happens on your site — a new user registers, a post is published, a WooCommerce order is placed, a form is submitted, and dozens of other events across the plugins you already run. * Generate a secure **incoming action URL** that Zapier, Make (Integromat), Pabbly Connect, n8n, a form plugin, a mobile app, or any custom script can POST data to, so WordPress can create posts, create users, update memberships, and more— automatically. * Connect WordPress to virtually any platform that speaks webhooks and JSON: CRMs, Slack, Discord, spreadsheets, email marketing tools, and custom internal systems. If you’re searching for a way to **connect WordPress to Zapier**, **connect WordPress to Make**, or **connect WordPress to Pabbly Connect** without writing a custom REST controller, RT Connect Webhooks is the missing bridge between that platform and your site. #### Why use RT Connect Webhooks? * **No-code automation** — set up outgoing webhooks and incoming action URLs entirely from a clean, modern admin screen. No shortcodes, no functions.php edits required. * **Two-way webhooks** — most webhook plugins only send data out. RT Connect Webhooks also lets external services send data _in_ to create WordPress content. * **Built for real integrations** — configurable HTTP method, request format, authentication, and headers mean it can talk to almost any third-party API, not just a fixed set of partners. * **Transparent logging** — every request and response is logged, with a one-click“ Test” button so you’re never guessing whether a webhook actually fired. * **Developer-friendly** — clean REST API, PHP filters, and action hooks so agencies and developers can extend it for client projects. #### Outgoing Webhooks (Triggers) — its own “Outgoing Webhooks” tab Send a webhook automatically when something happens — WordPress core events (login, register, update, delete users; publish/update/delete posts; new/updated/trashed/ deleted comments; emails sent) plus dedicated trigger groups for every popular plugin category, each appearing automatically once that plugin is active: * **Forms:** Contact Form 7, WPForms, Gravity Forms, Fluent Forms, Formidable Forms, Forminator, Ninja Forms, HappyForms, Newsletter, Elementor Pro Forms * **E-commerce & Payments:** WooCommerce, Easy Digital Downloads (customers, downloads, payments, licensing, subscriptions), GiveWP, WP Simple Pay * **Membership & LMS:** Paid Memberships Pro, Paid Member Subscriptions, MemberPress, LearnDash (course/lesson/quiz/topic completion), Profile Builder * **Marketing & Support:** FluentCRM, Fluent Support, AffiliateWP, WP Fusion * **Site Health:** Broken Link Checker, Amelia bookings, bbPress topics For every outgoing webhook you can configure: * **HTTP method** — POST, GET, PUT, PATCH, or DELETE * **Request format** — JSON, form URL-encoded, or XML * **Authentication** — none, API key (custom header), Bearer token, or Basic Auth * **Payload signing** — optional HMAC-SHA256 signature via a shared secret, sent as an `X-Webhook-Signature` header, so the receiving service can verify the request really came from your site * **Custom headers**, request timeout, and automatic retry count on failed delivery * **One-click Test** — fire a sample payload at the webhook and see the response instantly, without waiting for a real event #### Incoming Actions (Receive Data) — its own “Incoming Actions” tab Flip the direction: generate a unique, secure URL that any external service — Zapier, Make, Pabbly, a form plugin, a mobile app, a custom script — can POST data to. RT Connect Webhooks then performs the configured task, including: * **WordPress Core:** create/update/delete/search users, create/update/delete/search posts, create/update/delete comments, send an email, create a taxonomy term, or fire your own custom hook * **LearnDash:** complete a course or lesson, enroll or remove a user from a course * **Paid Memberships Pro:** add, remove, or cancel a user’s membership level * **Profile Builder:** approve/unapprove a user, confirm a user’s email * **FluentCRM:** add a contact to a list or tag * **Easy Digital Downloads:** full customer, discount, download, and payment CRUD, plus license (create/update/delete/renew) and subscription (create/update/delete) management when EDD Software Licensing / EDD Recurring are active Each incoming action can require its own auth token, so only requests that know the secret are accepted. #### Logging & Troubleshooting — its own “Logs” tab Every outgoing delivery and every incoming request is recorded in a single searchable log with a **Direction** column (incoming or outgoing), the HTTP status code, number of attempts, and the full response body — viewable in a detail popup without leaving the settings page. The admin screen keeps **Outgoing Webhooks**, **Incoming Actions**, and **Logs** in separate tabs so each direction of your webhook automation stays easy to manage on its own. Clear the log at any time. #### Built for Developers * REST API at `/wp-json/rtcw/v1/` for managing webhooks, incoming actions, and logs programmatically * `rtcw_payload` filter to modify an outgoing payload before it’s sent * `rtcw_event_dispatched` action that fires after an event has been sent to all matching webhooks * `RTCW_Webhooks::manual_trigger( $event, $data )` to fire a webhook event from your own PHP code * Admin UI built entirely on WordPress’s own `@wordpress/components` React library, so it looks and feels native to WordPress #### Common Use Cases * Send a webhook to Zapier or Make whenever a new WordPress user signs up * Notify Slack, Discord, or a CRM when a WooCommerce order is placed * Create a WordPress post automatically from a Google Sheets row, Airtable record, or form submission * Sync new WordPress users into an email marketing tool or CRM * Trigger your own custom PHP logic from any external event without writing a REST controller from scratch ### Developer Notes All admin REST endpoints require the `manage_options` capability (cookie auth + ` X-WP-Nonce`, or an authenticated application password). The incoming-action delivery endpoint is public and secured separately, per action, with its own auth token. * `GET /wp-json/rtcw/v1/webhooks` — list outgoing webhooks * `POST /wp-json/rtcw/v1/webhooks` — create an outgoing webhook (`url`, `enabled`,` events[]`, `secret`, `method`, `content_type`, `auth_type`, `auth_key_name`, ` auth_key_value`, `auth_token`, `auth_username`, `auth_password`, `custom_headers[]`,` timeout`, `retry_count`) * `PUT /wp-json/rtcw/v1/webhooks/{id}` — update an outgoing webhook * `DELETE /wp-json/rtcw/v1/webhooks/{id}` — delete an outgoing webhook * `POST /wp-json/rtcw/v1/webhooks/{id}/test` — send a one-off test payload * `GET /wp-json/rtcw/v1/events` — list available trigger events (WooCommerce-aware) * `GET /wp-json/rtcw/v1/logs` — recent delivery logs (incoming and outgoing) * `DELETE /wp-json/rtcw/v1/logs` — clear the delivery log * `GET /wp-json/rtcw/v1/incoming-actions` — list incoming actions * `POST /wp-json/rtcw/v1/incoming-actions` — create an incoming action (`label`,` action_type`, `target_hook`, `auth_token`, `enabled`) * `PUT /wp-json/rtcw/v1/incoming-actions/{id}` — update an incoming action * `DELETE /wp-json/rtcw/v1/incoming-actions/{id}` — delete an incoming action * `GET /wp-json/rtcw/v1/incoming-action-types` — list available incoming action types * `POST /wp-json/rtcw/v1/incoming/{key}` — public endpoint external services call to deliver data into an incoming action (send an `X-RTCW-Token` header if the action requires one) **Building the admin app from source:** the React source lives in `src/`. Requires Node.js. ``` npm install npm run start — watch mode while developing npm run build — production build into `build/` (already built and committed for this release) ``` ## Installation 1. Upload the `rt-connect-webhooks` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory, or install the zip directly via **Plugins Add New Upload Plugin**. 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** screen in WordPress. 3. Go to **Settings RT Connect Webhooks** to add your first outgoing webhook or incoming action. 4. Use the **Test** button to confirm an outgoing webhook is reachable before relying on it. 5. Copy an incoming action’s URL into Zapier, Make, Pabbly, or any service that can send a webhook, and start receiving data into WordPress. ## FAQ ### Does this plugin work with Zapier, Make, or Pabbly? Yes. Outgoing webhooks send standard JSON (or form/XML) payloads that any of these platforms can catch with a webhook trigger. Incoming actions accept POST requests from any of these platforms to create WordPress content. ### Do I need WooCommerce for this to work? No. WooCommerce is optional — if it’s active, an extra “WooCommerce Order Created” trigger becomes available automatically. Every other feature works on a plain WordPress install. ### Can I secure my webhooks? Yes. Outgoing webhooks support HMAC-SHA256 payload signing plus API key, Bearer token, or Basic Auth headers. Incoming action URLs can require a matching auth token before they’ll process a request. ### What happens if a webhook delivery fails? RT Connect Webhooks automatically retries failed deliveries (the number of attempts is configurable per webhook) and logs the outcome, including the response code and body, so you can see exactly what happened. ### Can I trigger a webhook from my own PHP code? Yes. Call `RTCW_Webhooks::manual_trigger( $event, $data )` from your theme or plugin, or hook into `rtcw_event_dispatched` and `rtcw_payload` to extend the built-in behavior. ### Is there a REST API? Yes, a full REST API is available under `/wp-json/rtcw/v1/` for managing webhooks, incoming actions, and logs — see the Developer Notes section below. ### Are incoming and outgoing webhooks separated in the admin screen? Yes. The settings screen is organized into three tabs — **Outgoing Webhooks**, ** Incoming Actions**, and **Logs** — each with its own item count, so you can manage what your site sends out and what it accepts in without the two lists mixing together. ### What’s the difference between an outgoing webhook and an incoming action? An **outgoing webhook** fires from WordPress _out_ to another service — e.g. WordPress notifies Zapier the moment a new user registers. An **incoming action** works the other way: it gives you a secure URL that Zapier, Make, Pabbly, or any script can POST _into_, so an external event (a form submission, a spreadsheet row, a payment) can create or update something in WordPress. Most sites use both directions together. ### Can I connect WordPress to Zapier without using Zapier’s own WordPress app? Yes. RT Connect Webhooks sends standard webhook payloads that Zapier’s generic “ Webhooks by Zapier” trigger can catch directly, and its Incoming Actions accept Zapier’s outgoing webhook action — so you get full two-way automation without relying on Zapier’s more limited native WordPress integration. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “RT Connect Webhooks | WordPress Webhooks for Zapier, Make & Pabbly” is open source software.

Only `@wordpress/element` (React) and `@wordpress/i18n` (translations) remain, since those are required to mount into the WordPress admin. * Massively expanded WooCommerce triggers: pending, processing, on-hold, completed, cancelled, refunded, failed order statuses, plus customer created, stock changed, and added-to-cart. * Added a couple more real events for Contact Form 7 (spam detected) and Gravity Forms (entry updated), alongside the existing WPForms, Ninja Forms, and Elementor Pro Forms submission triggers. * **This release ships source-only** — the `build/` folder is intentionally not included. Run `npm install && npm run build` yourself before activating (see Development section below). #### 3.3.0 * Massively expanded the trigger catalog to mirror popular WordPress automation plugins: user login/update/delete, comments (new/updated/trashed/deleted), email sent, and full plugin groups for Paid Member Subscriptions, Profile Builder, Contact Form 7, WPForms, Gravity Forms, Fluent Forms, Fluent Support, FluentCRM, Formidable Forms, Forminator, HappyForms, Newsletter, Ninja Forms, Elementor Pro Forms, GiveWP, Easy Digital Downloads (customers, downloads, payments, licensing, subscriptions), AffiliateWP, Amelia, Broken Link Checker, LearnDash (course/lesson/ quiz/topic), MemberPress, Paid Memberships Pro, WP Fusion, WP Simple Pay, and bbPress. * Massively expanded Incoming Actions to include: create/update/delete/search users, create/update/delete/search posts, create/update/delete comments, send email, create taxonomy terms, LearnDash course completion, Paid Memberships Pro membership add/remove, Profile Builder approve/unapprove/confirm email, FluentCRM add-to- list/tag, and Easy Digital Downloads customer/discount management. * New `rtcw_available_incoming_action_groups` and `rtcw_run_incoming_action` filters so developers can register their own incoming action types. #### 3.2.0 * Redesigned “Add New Webhook” as a custom, own-built UI (no third-party component library, no external font/link imports — system font stack only). * Expanded the Events picker into collapsible groups covering many third-party plugins: WooCommerce, Contact Form 7, WPForms, Gravity Forms, Fluent Forms, Formidable Forms, Forminator, Ninja Forms, Elementor Pro Forms, Easy Digital Downloads, AffiliateWP, LearnDash, MemberPress, and bbPress — each group only appears when that plugin is active. * New `rtcw_available_event_groups` filter so developers can register their own plugin’s events into the same grouped picker. #### 3.1.0 * Changed: the plugin now has its own root-level admin menu item instead of living under Settings. * Changed: the admin screen now talks to WordPress via admin-ajax.php instead of the REST API — no REST routes are used for the settings UI. * New: “Custom WordPress Action Hook” trigger — configure any webhook to fire whenever a specific WordPress action runs (e.g. `wp_login`, `acf/save_post`), with the hook’s arguments included in the payload, matching the “fire on any WordPress hook” behavior of similar automation plugins. #### 3.0.0 * New: Incoming Actions — receive data from external services at a unique URL and create a post, create a user, or fire a custom hook. * New: per-webhook HTTP method, body format (JSON/form/XML), authentication (API key/Bearer/Basic), custom headers, timeout, and retry count. * New: one-click “Test” button to send a sample payload to any configured webhook. * New: log detail modal and an incoming/outgoing direction column in the delivery log. * New: `rtcw_payload` filter, `rtcw_event_dispatched` action, and a public `manual_trigger()` method for developers. #### 2.0.0 * Rebuilt the admin settings screen as a React app using `@wordpress/components` instead of plain PHP forms. * Added a `rtcw/v1` REST API backing the new UI (webhook CRUD, events list, logs). * Removed the old `admin-post.php` form handlers in favor of the REST API. #### 1.0.0 * Initial release: outgoing webhooks for user registration, post publish/update, and WooCommerce orders. ## Meta * Version **4.8.0** * Last updated **18 hours ago** * Active installations **Fewer than 10** * WordPress version ** 6.0 or higher ** * Tested up to **7.0.3** * PHP version ** 7.4 or higher ** * Language * [English (US)](https://wordpress.org/plugins/rt-connect-webhooks/) * Tags * [automation](https://mlt.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/automation/)[integrations](https://mlt.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/integrations/) [rest-api](https://mlt.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/rest-api/)[webhooks](https://mlt.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/webhooks/) [zapier](https://mlt.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/zapier/) * [Advanced View](https://mlt.wordpress.org/plugins/rt-connect-webhooks/advanced/) ## Ratings No reviews have been submitted yet.
