How to Automate Lead Capture with API & Webhooks

Overview:
Use Laywork’s API or webhooks to push lead data from external systems (e.g., landing pages, partner sites).

Steps:

1. Go to Settings → API & Webhooks.

2. Under API Keys, click Generate Key and copy it securely.

3. In Webhooks, click New Webhook, select the Lead Created event, and enter your endpoint URL.

4. From your external system, send a POST to https://yourdomain.com/api/leads with JSON payload and your API key in the header.

5. Verify that incoming requests appear as new leads in Laywork.

Tips & Best Practices:

• Secure your endpoint with HTTPS and validate the API key on each request.

• Log webhook deliveries and failures to debug integration issues quickly.

Troubleshooting / FAQs:

• 401 Unauthorized errors: Confirm that your API key is correct and hasn’t been revoked.

• Webhooks not firing: Check Laywork’s webhook logs to see if the event was triggered and if your endpoint responded with a 2xx status.
