WebHook: POST your form data to a URL ERROR

I wanted to validate the input fields from the other website if the information is existing or not. I don’t know if this is possible on unbounce.com.

The webhook serve as a bridge between unbounce.com and another website. If you have an idea, can you help me how?

Thanks!

Hi @KayJ,

Webhooks, in general, are used to push data from A to B. It’s not intended to query a database or another site.

Form validation should be used to validate fields before the form is submitted or if you have an API access, you can use that to check if a specific value already exists in your DB.

Hope this points you in the right direction.

Best,
Hristian

P.S. The answer to your original question: The problem might be from the permission settings of the file when you uploaded it. Should be set to 664.

Hi Kay,

I think you are missing the point a bit - APIs are service/product specific.

Whatever tool/service you are using to store your customers/leads information that’s where you need to look for the API. Almost all 3rd parties offer some kind of programmatic access to your own account and the information stored in it.

You’re already storing this information somewhere since you want to check against it for duplicates, right?

Best,
Hristian

Hi,
When I set posting URL in webhook, and configure field mapping correctly on capturing leads webhook is showing failed response like this:
{
“result”: “failed”,
“price”: “0.00”,
“msg”: “Invalid Request”,
“errors”: [
{
“error”: “Invalid Request”
}
]
}

Yes, the fields should be mapped correctly. If You have fields like first name, last name etc, you can use them in the webhooks like your-posting-url?first_name=(first_name)&last_name=(last_name). All the field names should match exactly w.r.t your field names in the CRM (where your leads are submitted).
