Webhook Actions – build automations and integrations with AI help

Describe the integration you want. The AI builds it. Webhook Actions ships with Build with AI — an in-admin agent that turns a plain-language request like “When a Contact Form 7 form is submitted, send it as JSON to my n8n webhook” into a working, tested automation. The agent proposes a plan you can review and edit, then creates the webhook, captures a real example payload from your site, maps the fields, sets dispatch conditions, probes your endpoint, and sends a test delivery. Nothing goes live without your confirmation — new webhooks are always created disabled, and you can undo the last change with one click.

Bring your own AI — free options included

• WordPress 7.0 AI Client — if your site already has an AI provider connected (Settings → Connectors), the builder uses it directly; the plugin stores no keys
• Your own API key — connect Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google in the builder; keys are encrypted in the Credentials Vault and never returned over the API
• Free to run — a free Google AI Studio key gives you Gemini at no cost: step-by-step tutorial
• Automatic fallback — if a provider is rate-limited mid-build, the agent switches to another connected provider and keeps going

What the AI works from

The agent doesn’t guess — it works from your site’s real data. It maps fields against actually captured payloads, edits existing webhooks by name or id instead of duplicating them, validates endpoints with a guarded probe (SSRF-protected, secrets always redacted), and verifies the result with a real test delivery. Every operation is also published as a WordPress Ability, so external AI tools (Claude Code, Cursor) can drive the same toolset over MCP with scoped API tokens.

The engine underneath (free)

• Turn any WordPress do_action into a first-class automation trigger your CRMs, n8n flows, AI agents, and internal services can consume
• Persistent delivery queue with smart retry and exponential backoff — powered by WP-Cron, auto-upgrades to Action Scheduler or System Cron when available, (Pro) External Cron for guaranteed reliability
• Per-event UUID and ISO 8601 timestamp — enable downstream deduplication
• Delivery logs with full attempt history, request/response inspection, replay, and bulk retry
• Synchronous execution mode — fire inline without queue delay
• Payload mapping — rename, restructure, exclude, and type-cast fields with dot-notation paths
• Conditional dispatch — filter events by payload field values before dispatch
• HTTP method, custom headers, and URL query parameters per webhook
• Dynamic endpoint URLs — {{ field.path }} placeholders resolved at dispatch time (free via fswa_webhook_url filter)
• Webhook Chains — wire 2xx completions to downstream webhooks with full observability
• Import & Export — move webhooks and chains between sites as portable JSON (triggers, field mapping, and conditions included; Code Glue with Pro), with strict validation and a per-item result summary on import
• Markdown descriptions — document what each webhook and chain does inline, with a Write/Preview toggle while editing
• Credentials Vault — store reusable auth secrets (Bearer, Basic, API key, custom) encrypted at rest; reference them from webhooks instead of pasting raw Authorization headers. Secrets are write-only over the API — never returned, only a masked hint
• Activity History — persistent audit log of every admin and API-token action
• Built-in CF7 and IvyForms integrations — structured payloads, no extra plugins
• Action Scheduler auto-detection — more reliable delivery on high-traffic sites
• Fully translatable — the entire admin interface and all server-side strings are internationalized; ships with Polish, Simplified Chinese, and Dutch, and is compatible with WPML and Polylang String Translation
• Full REST API with scoped API token authentication (read / operational / full / agent) — the agent scope grants full write access for AI assistants while never exposing stored secrets
• Developer extensibility — 16 filters and 7 action hooks (reference)

Pro features

• AI credits included — Build with AI runs through the hosted WP Webhooks AI service on every Pro plan: no API keys to create, no provider accounts, a monthly credit allowance that renews automatically, and a live credits counter in the builder. Your own keys and WordPress connectors stay available any time
• AI writes Code Glue for you — the agent drafts PHP snippets, test-runs them against your real captured payloads, and assigns them to webhooks (with your confirmation) for pre-dispatch payload enrichment or post-dispatch side effects
• AI sets advanced conditions — with Pro the agent can propose multi-rule AND/OR condition groups instead of a single rule
• Code Glue — attach PHP snippets to any webhook+trigger (pre-dispatch payload enrichment, post-dispatch side effects)
• External Cron — replace unreliable visitor-triggered WP-Cron with a managed external pinger, provisioned automatically on license activation. Two modes: plugin queue endpoint (down to 20 s interval, configurable batch size) or WP-Cron endpoint (60 s, covers all WordPress background work). No server crontab or external dashboard — controlled entirely from wp-admin, with a live heartbeat chart and inline error alerts
• Unlimited conditions per trigger with AND/OR groups
• Per-webhook retry limit and backoff strategy overrides
• Dynamic URL templates — {{ }} syntax with no custom PHP required
