Sending leads to a webhook (Zapier, Make, n8n)

A webhook sends each new lead to any address that accepts a web request. That covers most email and CRM services directly, and everything else through an automation tool such as Zapier, Make or n8n.

Step 1: Get a webhook address

• Zapier – create a Zap with the Webhooks by Zapier › Catch Hook trigger and copy the URL.
• Make – add a Custom webhook module and copy the URL.
• n8n – add a Webhook node (POST) and copy the production URL.
• Your CRM or own system – use the address it gives you.

Step 2: Add it to WP Lead Player

1. Go to WP Lead Player › Integrations.
2. Under Webhook, tick Send leads to this webhook.
3. Paste the address into Webhook URL.
4. Optional: add a Signing secret (see below).
5. Click Save Changes.

Step 3: Send a test lead

1. Click Send a test lead to this webhook.
2. Check the test arrived in Zapier, Make, n8n or your system.
3. Map the fields to your email tool, for example add the email to a list.
4. Check Recent deliveries on the Integrations screen.

Signing secret

A signing secret is optional. If you set one, each request carries an X-WPLP-Signature header, so the receiving end can confirm it really came from your site. Leave it blank if you’re not sure.

Verifying the signature

The signature is an HMAC-SHA256 of the raw request body using your signing secret, sent in the X-WPLP-Signature header as sha256=<hex digest>. An X-WPLP-Event header names the event (lead.created). Use the raw body, before any JSON parsing, or the digest will never match.

PHP:

$raw = file_get_contents('php://input');
$ok  = hash_equals('sha256=' . hash_hmac('sha256', $raw, $secret), $_SERVER['HTTP_X_WPLP_SIGNATURE'] ?? '');

Node:

const expected = Buffer.from('sha256=' + crypto.createHmac('sha256', secret).update(rawBody).digest('hex'));
const given = Buffer.from(req.headers['x-wplp-signature'] || '');
const ok = given.length === expected.length && crypto.timingSafeEqual(given, expected);
