With my wix domain, I have a subdomain where new users sign up for my service. When they sign up, I want to have a wix automation that sends them an email confirmation message to the email they provided in the sign-up form.
My hope is to attach a webhook trigger so that when a new user submits the form to sign up on my external site, in wix I can take that email address and use it as the input for a send email automation, which I know is a basic automation capability in wix.
I just can’t seem to find any way to create a web hook trigger to connect our external (subdomain) site form as opposed to using a trigger specific to a wix website form?
Any help is much appreciated, thank you so much!!
Bit confused. You say you have a Wix subdomain, but later you call it external. Anyhow, you should use wix http-functions (put) on the Wix side, that will be your hook. Your external app will http(s) PUT data onto that hook and you can take it from there (send an email). Just be aware that you cannot send an email to anybody from within Wix: the adressee has to be a wix member or a wix contact. If neither of both, it cannot be done, so you will have to use a 3-rd part email provider (which more or less annuls the use of Wix).
Hi Giri,
Thank you so much for the reply and information - I was worried we would need our contacts already in Wix to be able to automate sending emails to them (otherwise yes, we are basically trying to leverage Wix as a third party email sender). Maybe we can automate passing our new member information from our subdomain into Wix members. This way, we can create their user profile as a Wix member on the backend as opposed to them creating the Wix member in addition to their registration on our subdomain. Could be an intensive process though… Anyway, thank you for the reply and direct clarification, it is much appreciated!!
