Webhooks
Form webhooks with signatures and automatic retries
Add a webhook integration and FormSubmit POSTs a JSON payload for every new submission to the URL you choose. Each request is signed with HMAC-SHA256 so you can verify it came from us, and failed deliveries are retried with exponential backoff (1 minute up to 12 hours, 6 attempts) with every attempt visible in your delivery log.
Stable JSON payload
event, form {id, name} and submission {id, createdAt, data, files[]}. Easy to map in Zapier, Make, n8n or your own code.
Signed requests
X-FormSubmit-Signature: t=<unix>,v1=<hmac> lets you verify authenticity and reject replays.
Automatic retries
Timeouts, 5xx and 429 responses are retried with backoff. Permanent 4xx errors stop immediately so you can fix the config.
Delivery log
See status codes and errors for every attempt and retry manually from the dashboard.
Send test
Fire a sample payload at your endpoint before going live.
Multiple endpoints
Add as many webhooks per form as you need.

}Frequently asked questions
Are webhooks available on the free plan?
Yes. Webhooks and every other integration are included on all plans.
How do I verify the signature?
Compute HMAC-SHA256 of `${t}.${rawBody}` with your signing secret and compare it to v1 in the X-FormSubmit-Signature header. The docs include Node and Python examples.
What happens if my server is down?
We retry up to 6 times over roughly 15 hours (1m, 5m, 30m, 2h, 12h). You can also retry manually from the delivery log.
