GIVEWP WEBHOOKS ADD-ON 1.0.4

The GiveWP Webhooks Add-On is a powerful tool designed to enable real-time communication between your GiveWP-powered WordPress donation website and virtually any other internet-connected application.

In simple terms, it allows you to automate workflows and integrate your donation data with your entire tech stack without needing a middleman like Zapier (though it can work with Zapier too).

🚀 How the Webhooks Add-On Works

A webhook is an automated message sent from an app (GiveWP) when a specific event happens.

The Trigger (GiveWP Event): A specific action occurs on your website (e.g., a donor completes a form).

The Action (Sending the Webhook): The GiveWP Webhooks Add-On sends a notification (a data payload) to a specific URL you define.

The Receiver (Third-Party App): The receiving URL (the endpoint of your CRM, spreadsheet, analytics tool, etc.) processes the data in real-time.

🌟 Key Features and Benefits

Feature

Benefit for Fundraising

Real-Time Data Sync

Instant Automation: Data is sent immediately upon the event, ensuring your CRM, email list, or spreadsheet is always up-to-date without delay.

Available Triggers

Granular Control: You can set up webhooks to fire on specific events, including:<ul><li>Donation Completed</li><li>Donation Created</li><li>Donation Failed</li><li>Donation Refunded</li><li>Donor Created</li></ul>

Integration Flexibility

Connects Everything: You can integrate GiveWP with virtually any system that has a webhook listening URL (including custom-built systems), bypassing the need for a pre-built extension.

Custom Integration

Developer Friendly: While powerful for non-developers when used with services like Pabbly Connect, its true power is in the hands of a developer who can process the raw data payload for specific needs (like sending data to a custom Donor Relationship Management system).

Logging & Reliability

Monitoring: Includes verbose logging and retry functionality (usually retrying a failing webhook multiple times over increasing intervals) to ensure data is reliably delivered.

💡 Common Use Cases

CRM Integration: Send completed donation data instantly to your Donor CRM (e.g., Salesforce, HubSpot) that doesn't have an official GiveWP add-on.

Custom Reporting: Push donation details to a private Google Sheet or a custom analytics dashboard for advanced, real-time reporting.

Marketing Automation: Trigger specific email sequences in a marketing platform (e.g., ActiveCampaign) immediately after a donor completes a recurring donation versus a one-time donation.
