</ol>
<h4>Webhook Integration</h4>
<p>This plugin sends chat messages to your specified webhook URL, allowing seamless<br />
integration with n8n (our recommended starting point) or any other webhook-capable service.<br />
Common use cases include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Azure Functions – Full support with X-API-Key authentication</li>
<li>n8n, Zapier, Make (Integromat), or Pipedream workflows</li>
<li>OpenAI GPT models and Azure OpenAI Service</li>

<li>Google Cloud Functions</li>
<li>Custom AI services and REST APIs</li>
<li>Customer support systems</li>
<li>CRM integrations</li>
</ul>
<h4>Azure Functions Setup</h4>
<p>For Azure Functions integration:</p>
<ol>
<li>Enter your Azure Function URL in the Webhook Endpoint field</li>
<li>Set Authentication Type to “API Key Header”</li>
<li>Set Header Name to “X-API-Key” (or your function’s key name)</li>
<li>Enter your Azure Function key as the Header Value</li>
<li>Configure the Request/Response field names to match your function’s format</li>
</ol>
<p>The plugin connects exclusively to your specified webhook URL to process chat<br />
messages. No data is sent to third-party servers without your explicit configuration.</p>
<h3>Support</h3>
<p>For support questions, please use the WordPress.org support forums.<br />
We monitor these regularly and provide assistance with setup, configuration,<br />
and troubleshooting.</p>
<h3>Privacy</h3>
<p>This plugin sends chat messages exclusively to your specified webhook URL<br />
(for example, n8n, Zapier, Make, Pipedream, or a custom service).</p>
<p>No conversation data is stored on your website unless your webhook<br />
implementation chooses to do so. The plugin does not collect personal<br />
information beyond what visitors voluntarily enter in the chat interface.</p>
<h3>Third-Party Services</h3>
<p>This plugin may use the following external services:</p>
<p><strong>IP Geolocation Service (ip-api.com)</strong><br />
– Purpose: Display visitor location information (country and city) in the admin dashboard<br />
– Data sent: Visitor IP addresses only<br />
– When: Automatically when visitors access your website with the chat widget active<br />
– Terms of Service: http://ip-api.com/docs/legal<br />
– Privacy Policy: http://ip-api.com/docs/privacy<br />
– Note: This geolocation feature helps website administrators understand their visitor demographics but does not affect the chat functionality. No personal information beyond IP addresses is transmitted to this service.</p>
<p><strong>OpenAI Realtime API (api.openai.com)</strong><br />
– Purpose: Voice chat functionality for real-time audio conversations<br />
– Data sent: Audio streams and voice data during voice chat sessions<br />
– When: Only when voice chat is enabled and actively used (requires separate DFO Voice plugin)<br />
– Terms of Service: https://openai.com/terms/<br />
– Privacy Policy: https://openai.com/privacy/<br />
– Note: This service is only used when the DFO Voice Realtime plugin is installed and voice chat is enabled. The free version of this plugin has voice features disabled by default.</p>
<p><strong>DFO Voice Plugin API (local WordPress REST API)</strong><br />
– Purpose: Generate secure tokens for voice chat sessions<br />
– Data sent: Session requests and authentication data<br />
– When: Only when DFO Voice Realtime plugin is active and voice chat is initiated<br />
– Note: This is a local WordPress REST API endpoint, not an external service. No data is sent outside your website.</p>

<p>Hooksure provides a straightforward way to manage webhooks for your SureForms forms.<br />
Hooksure handles sending webform submissions created in SureForms to your webhook of choice, i.e. Flowmattic, Bit Flows or Pabbly Connect.<br />

It allows you to pass that data over to an external service to process it as you would any normal webhook.<br />
Want to send data and receive data back to your SureForms but not use SureTriggers?<br />
Well, if you want to use Zapier, Flowmattic, Bit Flows, or Pabbly Connect, you can do this with Response for Sureforms, which handles the sending and returning of webform data.<br />
<a href="https://reallyusefulplugins.com/plugins/response-for-sureforms/" rel="nofollow ugc">Try Response for Sureforms in a Sandbox</a><br />
We’ve recently implemented dynamic form population and better error handling directly from Response for SureForms into HookSure, making it better than ever than its initial launch.</p>


Hooksure

Hooksure allows you to map SureForms, form submissions to webhooks dynamically within your WordPress admin dashboard without needing the pro plugin.
