Webhook vs HTTP Request in Workflow – Auto-Sending All Form Data

Hello,

I am trying to use the webhook feature in a workflow for our forms to POST all form data to an API endpoint to integrate into a CRM that isn't supposed in default integration list.

Is there a way to post ALL form data without manually typing out each field name and value in the body? One of our forms will have over 40 fields and it's a bit cumbersome setting up or managing that on any change to the form fields.

Originally I assumed the default post action would be to send all form data along, but that doesn't seem to be working for me.

And on same topic- I noticed the values turn into green bubbles (after a reload) for known fields- is there any sort of auto insert pop-up or something to reference all form fields in the webhook view if I DO need to set it up all manually? Also noticed that compound fields don't turn into green bubbles.

Hi Eric,

Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. Since there are two ways to use webhooks in Jotform, and they work differently depending on where they're set up. The Webhook integration in the Form Builder (under Settings > Integrations) automatically sends all form data upon submission, with no need to manually map each field—making it ideal if you want to forward the entire form data to an external system.

On the other hand, the “Send HTTP Request” action in the Jotform Workflows requires you to manually enter each field and value you want to send using field tags like {name} or {email}. This method is better suited for scenarios where you need to trigger the request conditionally or as part of a multi-step approval flow, but it won’t include all fields by default. There's an option to directly select the form field for your parameter.

When you're mapping data in a workflow's Send HTTP Request, the system can’t auto-match that compound field to a single token if the receiving API expects the first and last names as separate parameters. After your test, the green bubbles are the whole field tokens Jotform can auto-recognize.

Let us know if you have any other questions.
