How to setup the webhook on Webhook - Classic
In order to correctly recognize incoming data when the Webhook Integration is used as Source you should do the following:
- Go into the Source step of your Incoming Webhook Bridge
- If the Bridge says Waiting for New Lead… means that is on Listening Mode and that any data you submit to the Webhook URL will be read by the LeadsBridge as soon as it arrives into the system
- You should leave this page open and submit data from the Source in which you have assigned the Webhook URL provided by LeadsBridge. In case you need to close the page and go back later to the Bridge configuration, make sure to set the Bridge on Listening Mode by clicking on the Recognize Other Fields button
- Once you’re able to submit data from your Source it should get automatically recognized by LeadsBridge
- In case you forgot to add some data, you should set the Bridge on Listening Mode by clicking on the Recognize Other Fields button and submit new data from your Source
- In case data is not being correctly recognized you may reach our support with the Missing or wrong fields? Ask for help! button
- Once all the data you want to map from your Source has been correctly recognized you should continue with your Bridge configuration by clicking on Next
Before proceeding
One last thing before proceeding to the next step is to send a test lead from Webhook - Classic. This will allow us to recognize the attributes you'd like to pass along and offer them as presets in the next steps of the setup.
- Please make sure the LeadsBridge screen is saying "Waiting for New Lead...", it means that we're ready to receive your test data
- Go to Webhook - Classic

- Once done go back to LeadsBridge and verify that your test was sent successfully
- You should see the information processed correctly by the app
- Click on the Next button
