Bento Webhooks

#Overview

You can use webhooks inside Bento automations to automatically send data back to your WP Fusion powered WordPress site.

Using webhooks, you can import new users on your WordPress site based on automations in Bento, or update existing users’ meta data and tags.

#Setup

Navigate to Bento » Automate and create a new workflow to handle the webhook. Select a ‘Trigger’ (such as New Pageview).

Add an action and Select Send Webhook.

In the webhook settings, configure the webhook like in the screenshot above:

• Webhook URL: This is the URL to your site. For more info on the URL options, see the next section.
• JSON Payload: The JSON payload identifies the subscriber to WP Fusion. This needs to be {"id":"{{visitor.uuid}}", "email":"{{visitor.email}}"}

#Webhook URL parameters

You can format your webhook URL in a few different ways to customize the behavior. For each you will need to supply your access key, which can be obtained from the bottom of the main settings panel in your WP Fusion settings.

#To update a user’s tags

To update an existing WordPress user’s tags from the contact record, the URL for the webhook should look like the following:

https://mydomain.com/?wpf_action=update_tags&access_key=YOURACCESSKEY

#To update a user’s tags and meta data

To update a user’s tags and pull any new meta data from Bento for that contact, the URL for the webhook should look like the following:

https://mydomain.com/?wpf_action=update&access_key=YOURACCESSKEY

#Create a new user

To create a new user, use the following URL:

https://mydomain.com/?wpf_action=add&access_key=YOURACCESSKEY

You can also specify additional parameters in user creation. For example, to send the user a welcome email containing a link to log in on your site, use the following:

https://mydomain.com/?wpf_action=add&access_key=YOURACCESSKEY&send_notification=true

You can also specify a specific user role to be assigned to the new user. For example, to set the new user to the “customer” role, use the following:

https://mydomain.com/?wpf_action=add&access_key=YOURACCESSKEY&role=customer

Note that you have to have registered a “customer” role on your site for this to work. By default users will be assigned the role of “subscriber”.

The add method will update a user if an existing user already exists. It will not create a duplicate user.

#User passwords

New user accounts will be created with an automatically generated password. If you’d like to use this password in your email marketing, you can send the password back to Bento after it has been generated.

In the Webhooks section of the General settings tab, check the box for Return Password, and select a field in Bento where the password should be stored.

After a new user is created, their automatically generated password will now be saved back to their contact record, and you can use a merge field to include it in an email. The username will be the contact’s email address.
