Webhooks & Integrations
What Are Webhooks?
Webhooks are the bridge between Lead Fuel CRM and external applications. A webhook is a unique URL that third-party services can send data to, triggering automations or receiving contact information. This enables seamless integrations with hundreds of applications without coding.
Creating a Webhook Trigger
Sending Data via Webhook Action
In addition to triggering automations with webhooks, you can also send contact data to external systems. Use the "Send Webhook" action to POST contact information to another application's API endpoint. This is useful for syncing data with specialized tools, payment processors, or custom software.
Zapier Integration
Zapier is a popular automation platform that connects thousands of applications. Lead Fuel CRM integrates with Zapier, allowing you to create "Zaps" that trigger from Lead Fuel events or send Lead Fuel actions. For example, create a Zap that watches for new CRM contacts and adds them to your email marketing platform automatically.
Common Integration Scenarios
- Email Marketing: Sync contacts and automation events to Mailchimp, ConvertKit, or ActiveCampaign for deeper email campaigns
- Payment Processing: Send invoice data to Stripe or PayPal and trigger follow-ups based on payment status
- Scheduling Tools: Sync appointment data with Google Calendar, Calendly, or Acuity Scheduling
- Customer Support: Route contacts to Zendesk, HubSpot Service Hub, or similar platforms
- Analytics: Send contact events to Google Analytics or custom dashboards for reporting
- Document Generation: Automatically create contracts or proposals using PandaDoc or similar services
API Documentation
For developers integrating with Lead Fuel CRM, our API documentation covers all available endpoints for creating contacts, updating fields, triggering automations, and retrieving data. Access API docs in your account settings under "Developer Tools." Include your API key in request headers for authentication.
Important: Store API keys securely. Never commit them to code repositories or share them publicly. Rotate keys regularly for security.
Tip: Start with pre-built integrations (Zapier, etc.) before building custom webhooks. They're easier to set up and require no technical knowledge.
