6. Tap on the "Create" button to finalize your changes.

Do note that Paperform currently does not support any customizations of headers. If, for example, you require authorization for your endpoint, you'll need to include it in the webhook URL's query string.

Utilize Answer Piping

To pass form responses to external systems, use answer piping by typing {{key}} (replace "key" with the relevant question's pre-fill key) or use the + menu next to the input field to add dynamic data.

Here’s a sample JSON payload: 

{
"data": [
{
"title": "question 1", // Title of question as defined
"description": "This is the first question",
"type": "address", // Question type
"key": "ba7ri", // Question pre-fill key (unique to form)
"custom_key": "address_1", // Custom pre-fill key (if set) "value": "343 Tester Road, Snohomish, Washington, 98290, United States" // Submitted value for question },
{
"title": "question 2",
"description": "This is the second question",
"type": "text",
"key": "tgp8",
"custom_key": null,
"value": "Test 123"
}
// ...each question has its own object.
],
"submission_id": "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX", // Unique ID for submission.
"created_at": "2017-06-09 09:51:23", // Submission date
"ip_address": "192.168.10.1", // IP Address of submission
"charge": null // If a payment is made, payment information is given here

Testing your webhook

You can test a webhook any time by selecting the "Test" button in the "Webhooks" section. Doing so will trigger the webhook using the most recent form submission data. Alternatively, you may test your webhook by submitting the form itself.

Please note that the "Test" button will only function if the form has been submitted at least once previously.
