# Webhooks & API

Connect formformform to anything you run. A real-time webhook fires a JSON payload the moment someone submits, and a full REST API lets you create forms and fetch responses from your own backend.

Your API

Zapier

Slack

The moment a response lands, we POST a signed JSON payload to your endpoint — and on to whatever you've wired up behind it.

A real-time POST on every submit

Point a form at any URL and the moment someone hits submit, formformform sends a `POST` with a JSON payload containing the answers, the form, and a timestamp. No polling, no waiting — your endpoint hears about a response the instant it lands.

If your server is briefly down or returns an error, we retry with backoff so a momentary blip doesn't drop the event. Every delivery is signed, so your endpoint can verify the request genuinely came from us before it acts on the data.

A REST API for everything

Beyond webhooks, there's a full REST API for the things you'd rather not click through. Create a form from a template, list your forms, and fetch responses — all programmatically.

-   `POST /v1/forms` to create a form from your own backend or build step
-   `GET /v1/forms` to list what you have and read its configuration
-   `GET /v1/forms/:id/responses` to pull submissions on your own schedule

Authenticate with a token, get clean JSON back, and a clear `200 OK` when it worked. It's the same data the dashboard uses — nothing held back for a higher tier.

On every plan

Webhooks and the API aren't an enterprise upsell. They're on every plan, **including the free one**. Wire up a side project the same way you'd wire up production — the tools don't change as you grow, only the volume does.
