Sending CRED data to Third Party Systems

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem

I would like to collect Data with CRED, and when the Form is submitted, send this data to another, external 3rd party application, that does not reside on the Wordpress Install or is by another Plugin/Theme.
Can you help me with this?

Solution

The success of this depends mainly on 2 things:

- What WordPress can do,

- what PHP can do.

If you know how to send data with PHP from WordPress installs to populate 3rd Party Databases, then those same methods will work perfectly fine within CRED as well.

The CRED API will allow you to hook your custom code whenever you need it.

Most likely you would use a late hook, so to make sure all data is in the database already, and you can grab it safely.

How to send the data out of WordPress to a completely different system, or populating 3rd Party databases, is something we cannot assist with in the Forum.

This is more a question, advice than any CRED issues I am having.

I have a lead generation form that stores the CRED input as a custom post type and emails the data - Great.
However, what experience has anyone with getting this data, fields in the form of webhooks or integrated in some way with Zapier or shifting the data in to a third party CRM.

Id like to get this date in to our sales CRM so the sales guys can work with little manual input.

🙂 thanks

Well, this depends mainly on 2 things:
what WordPress can do, and what PHP can do.

If you in some way know how to send data with PHP from WordPress installs to complete different Softwares or CMS's, then this will work perfectly fine within CRED since the CRED API will allow you to hook your custom code whenever you need it:

Most likely you would use a late hook, so to make sure all data is in the database:

Now, how to send the data out of WordPress to a completely different system that most likely also works with different frameworks, I cannot tell, I would need to dig myself, but this is out of the scope of our Support.

Eventually, another user has experiences in this topic and will share them here, or, you could look out for a Contractor:

I cannot assist the custom code, but if you have any doubts about the CRED API please let me know.
