Using Webhooks to Capture Form Submission Data in Real-Time

Hey there! It’s great to see you diving into webhooks with RapidoForm. Here are a few tips that might help you get your listener set up for handling form submission data:

1. Setting Up the Listener: You can create an endpoint on your server using a framework like Express (for Node.js) or Flask (for Python). Here’s a simple example in Node.js:

   const express = require('express');
   const app = express();
   app.use(express.json());
   
   app.post('/webhook', (req, res) => {
       const formData = req.body; // This contains your submission data
       console.log('Received form data:', formData);
       
       // Process the data here (e.g., store it in your database)
       
       res.sendStatus(200);
   });
   
   app.listen(3000, () => console.log('Server is running on port 3000'));
   

2. Headers and Validation: While RapidoForm generally sends a JSON payload, you should check if there are specific headers you need to verify (like X-Signature for security). Implementing basic validation helps ensure that only legitimate calls reach your server.

3. Testing: Use tools like Postman to test your endpoint with sample payloads before you start using it with live data.
