Start an automation trigger with a webhook?

Perhaps the title is wrong, but I’m not sure how to explain it better.
My client is in a weird situation. His whole webpage is loaded with an HTML iframe that covers the whole WIX page. (It’s like an webpage inception, the webpage has only one WIX element that loads from another domain the whole website ---- yes it sounds weird, it’s a difficult story).

So at the footer, you find a normal newsletter form input. It looks like that:


Is it somehow possible to trigger an automation, when it’s not coming from a WIX form? I’m thinking of webhooks or something else.

You might want to look into the HTML Component and use code to pass data from your html component to the page or from your page to the html component.

As for the user input for the newsletter, have you simply used a signup from the Wix Editor itself like here - https://support.wix.com/en/article/adding-and-setting-up-a-get-subscribers-form
As if you have you then you can simply add a Wix Automation to it as shown in the tutorial page above or from here too - https://support.wix.com/en/article/sending-an-automated-thank-you-email-to-your-subscribers

Otherwise, you will have to make up your own user input form and use code to get info from the iframe to your page and into the form itself and then you can use the Corivd option in Wix Automations.

Thank you @givemeawhisky but I still have two small questions.

  1. I cannot find the “HTML Component” in the WIX Editor.
    I’m pretty sure that they meant “HTML iframe”. See here:

Another thing is. I cannot change the properties and add my own ID to it.

Now the newsletter part. I’m going to quote you:

“Otherwise, you will have to make up your own user input form and use code to get info from the iframe to your page and into the form itself and then you can use the Corvid option in Wix Automations.”

This is exactly what I’m looking for. How can I trigger Wix Automations with Corvid?

I found this article: https://support.wix.com/en/article/corvid-tutorial-sending-an-email-on-form-submission

But I have a template that is already designed in the Automation and I need to send it out!

@shadrix
Yes you can call it html iframe if you want to :wink:

As for the Wix Automation with Corvid, you can use the Wix Automations support pages, however just note that the trigger options picture is outdated as it does not show the Corvid Data option.
