Webhooks (Zapier, Make, n8n)

Send your site's events — form submissions, button clicks, order success — to Zapier, Make, n8n, or any webhook URL, with one chat message.

Connect your site to Zapier, Make, n8n, or your own backend: when something happens on the page — a form is submitted, a button is clicked, an order succeeds — Genesis sends the data to a webhook URL you provide. From there, your automation tool does the rest.

You only need a webhook URL

The important part: you build the automation itself ("add a row to Google Sheets", "post to Telegram", "create a CRM contact") inside Zapier or Make — that's their job, not Genesis's. Genesis only needs the URL to POST to. What happens after that is entirely up to your Zap or scenario.

Getting the URL

• Zapier → create a Zap → trigger Webhooks by Zapier → Catch Hook → it gives you a URL like https://hooks.zapier.com/hooks/catch/123456/abcde/. Copy it. Then build your actions and turn the Zap on.
• Make → new scenario → Webhooks → Custom webhook → it gives you a URL like https://hook.eu2.make.com/…. Copy it.
• n8n / your own backend → use any URL that accepts a POST.

How to trigger it

Just describe it — no special syntax needed. Say when to fire and paste the URL, and Genesis infers the provider (Zapier, Make, n8n, or your own server) from the link. For example:

• "When someone submits the contact form, send it to this webhook: https://hooks.zapier.com/hooks/catch/123456/abcde/"
• "On order success, send the buyer details to https://hook.eu2.make.com/abc123"
• "Fire this webhook when the Buy button is clicked: https://example.com/hook"

No URL yet? Just ask to send form submissions to Zapier (or Make, etc.) and Genesis asks for the link — with a hint on where to find it in your tool — then wires it up when you paste it.

What Genesis does

It adds a small fire-and-forget POST into the exact handler you described:

• "on form submit" → the form's submit handler, sending the field values
• "on button click" → that button's click handler
• "on order success" → the order form's success callback, sending the order/buyer data

Each payload includes an event label and a timestamp so you can tell events apart inside Zapier/Make. The webhook URL is stored in your site's code — it's an unguessable endpoint that acts as its own secret. No backend, no database, no extra setup on your side.

Good to know

• The sending is instant and best-effort. If the visitor closes the tab the very moment an event fires, that one event can be missed — exactly how most no-code webhooks behave. It's perfect for "send my leads / sales to a Sheet, CRM, or Telegram." For billing-critical flows, rely on your payment provider's own records as the source of truth.
• The automation lives in your tool. Genesis sends the data; building the steps that act on it (and turning the Zap/scenario on) happens in Zapier/Make.
• It never blocks your form or navigation waiting on the webhook, and a failed send never breaks the page.
