I assume we can use any URL, so a call to my own web API should be easy. Can we capture the response from that WebHook? ---

Originally posted in the wrong thread! 😳 Very interesting! 🙂 Presumably, you don’t have to use Zapier to receive the web hook message e.g. you could send a message to Home Assistant or something home grown? Leading on from that, is it possible to configure what the web hooks message payload is when being sent? Looking at Zapier pricing, it seems to suggest that there is a monthly cost if you want to use webhooks? Is there any other mechanism in the development pipeline to receive data from a webhooks source for displaying in an elements page? Oh yes, I almost forgot, all I need now is an upgrade from Plus to a Pro license? 😉 ---

The API we ship in Elements acts as a wrapper and returns its own responses, we’ve done this for consistency across all services. ---

Correct, Zapier is a paid for service and is absolutely worth it if you need/use the features. There are other similar services out there that might be cheaper or offer a free tier. > [@logrunner](#): > > Is there any other mechanism in the development pipeline to receive data from a webhooks source for displaying in an elements page? Right now we are only sending data out via a webhook. The app that will ship in Elements (and get published to your server) does have the ability to fetch data / receive data, but that’s not something we have actively planned - but the possibility is there when/if we want to do something like that 😊 ---

> Is there any other mechanism in the development pipeline to receive data from a webhooks source for displaying in an elements page? @logrunner I’m not sure if I fully understand your question, but if you mean whether it’s possible to import data collected in, for example, Google Sheets into Elements, then yes, that’s possible via a custom component. I’ve developed one that allows various data from Sheets to be implemented into a page, ranging from entire columns to specific cells. A practical example: you collect testimonials via Zapier in Google Sheets, and with the custom component, you can display them on your site. ---

Hey @808, Thanks for trying again! I added better logging and notifications for failed email deliveries. It looks like AWS is flagging your email as a permanent bounce, which means it’s refusing to send messages to it. This could be due to a cached bounce status or an issue with your email provider rejecting the messages. Are you able to check with your provider if they know what might be causing it? Cheers ---

> [@Beblebroks](#): > > Do you guys have plans for formspree? You should be able to integrate with Formspree using the Webhook feature in our Form component. Simply set the Webhook URL to your Formspree endpoint, and our component will post the form data there. I haven’t tested this in code, so I can’t guarantee it works out of the box, but in theory, it should. Alternatively, you can use Webhooks to send form data to a service like Zapier, which connects to a wide range of platforms via plugins. That might give you even more flexibility, depending on your needs. ---
