Webhook Lead Generation

In simple terms, a webhook is a web address/URL you can use to send data to.

For lead generation this allows you to activate many lead gen sources with the right tools in place.

Most modern software will have an API that can be used to send data to a webhook.

Webhooks often work in different ways. They might send or receive data with a certain format or structure.

For lead generation, most of the time, we can send our lead 'payload' to a webhook with each of the fields the user has submitted, as well as other useful data like where the lead came from.

1. Check your own CRM or Email system for details on how to receive leads. Theres a good chance they have a webhook you can use.
2. Check the format and structure that the webhook expects to receive the data. You might need to add some authentication to send data here.
3. Add the webhook, and make sure you send some test leads before activating any camapigns.
