Webhooks in Droip Forms

A Webhook is a way for your form to send data to an external URL in real-time whenever a submission occurs. Unlike email, which simply delivers a message, webhooks allow you to integrate your form with other apps or services, such as:

    • POST: Sends data in the request body (recommended for most integrations).
  4. Save the webhook.

Droip provides a dedicated WordPress dashboard to manage form data efficiently. You can easily access and view all the forms you have created using the Form Block element in Droip. Additionally, you can export and analyze the data collected through these forms.

Accessing Form Data

Accessing Form Data Manager in Droip

To access your form data, follow these steps:

  2. Export as .CSV: Download the form data for the selected form as a CSV (Comma-Separated Values) file for sharing or further analysis.

Filter Form Entries

Droip provides advanced filtering options for form entries in the WordPress dashboard.

To create a new custom filter, click on the Filter > Add New Filter button.

Droip allows you to select multiple form entries and perform bulk actions like deleting or exporting them. This feature is beneficial for managing large amounts of data.


A web form is an HTML form that lets users enter their information. There’s no “one size fits all” when it comes to web forms. 

Depending on your business needs and the type of user data you want to collect, you can craft any web forms that fit your needs with Droip.
