The connection explained
WP Smart Consent adds a GDPR-compliant opt-in checkbox to your form. It is unchecked by default, so the visitor must actively tick it to subscribe. When they do and submits a form, WP Smart Consent immediately captures the consent with a timestamp and stores it in your WordPress database, giving you a complete audit trail without any third-party dependency. In the same request, it fires an HTTP POST to your configured webhook URL with the subscriber's name, email, timestamp, and source data — ready for Zapier, Make, n8n, or any custom endpoint. No cron delays. No code.

FAQ
No. WP Smart Consent hooks directly into Contact Form 7's action system and injects the checkbox automatically. There is nothing to edit in your theme, checkout template, or form layout.
Yes. The checkbox is unchecked by default, so the customer must actively tick it to subscribe. Only customers who tick the box trigger the webhook. Anyone who leaves it unticked is never sent.
The payload includes: first name, last name, email, country, phone, company, address line 1, address line 2, city, state, and postcode, plus the opt-in timestamp and source plugin name. For ecommerce sources, order ID and total are also included.
Yes. The Webhook integration sends data to a URL. To actually do something with it (add to a CRM, send an email, update a spreadsheet) you need an automation platform like Zapier, Make, OttoKit, or n8n, or your own custom backend. Paste the webhook URL from your automation tool into WP Smart Consent settings and you're live.
Consent is logged locally in your WordPress database with the subscriber's email, the source plugin name, and a timestamp, giving you a complete audit trail regardless of whether the webhook fires successfully.
Consent is captured in WordPress first. If the endpoint is down, the audit record is safe. Failed webhooks are visible in the WP Smart Consent dashboard so you can investigate and retry.
