To setup the webhook ( or api ) node in LeadsHook
3. Now add a webhook node ( or api node ) onto your canvas
We need to set it up like so:
Title: can be any description for your webhook/api node
Method: must be POST to create a new contact
Request URL: https://api.ontraport.com/1/Contacts
Data:
In this example we are using JSON format.
The left hand side of the Data ( the keys ) are listed on the Ontraport API spec.
You can see I have added “firstname”, “lastname”, and “email”. But you can add as many as you need. Just lookup the key names on the Ontraport API spec ( http://api.ontraport.com/doc/#create-a-contact )
On the right hand side of the JSON Data ( the values ) are the LeadsHook custom fields you captured in your Decision tree. {first_name}, {last_name}, and {email} in this example.
Both keys & values must be surrounded by double quotes.
And each pair has a colon between them.
Finally each line has a comma at the end. Except for the last line.
The Headers:
Api-Key on the left and its value on the right
Api-Appid on the left and its value on the right
Content-type on the left and application/json on the right
