Lazy Webhook Relay for WPForms

Download

You can download the plugin from the WordPress Plugin Directory.

Overview

Are you a lazy developer? Do you love WP-Forms? Are you tired of manually configuring things in the WordPress interface? Do you yearn for an easier way to get the front-end talking to the back-end? Do you want to say “screw it” and just send your data somewhere else?

Lazy Webhook Relay for WPForms quietly sends every WPForms submission from your WordPress site to a remote endpoint of your choice. It doesn’t interrupt WPForms.

It retries failures, signs requests with an HMAC hash, and logs its activities in /uploads/lazy-webhook-relay-for-wpforms.log.

Features

  • Works with any WPForms form (no setup per form)
  • Async background sending (non-blocking)
  • Choose GET or POST
  • Retries with exponential backoff
  • Optional shared secret for HMAC signing
  • Lightweight logger
  • Simple settings screen

Installation

  1. Upload the plugin files to /wp-content/plugins/lazy-webhook-relay-for-wpforms/.
  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen.
  3. Go to Settings → Lazy Webhook Relay.
  4. Set your endpoint and method.
  5. Done. Every WPForms submission is now silently sent to your endpoint.

$subject = 'Lazy Webhook Relay Delivery';

mail($to, $subject, $body, "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8");
echo json_encode(['ok' => true]);
