Q: Hi Patrick.
Thanks for the previous replies to my questions. I have another question about the wordpress plugin uncanny automator. Can I create webhooks on a website with uncanny and use them in the webhooks for forms in the simple static settings for processing forms? Do webhooks from other websites work on a static website?

However, it's only in one direction - you can send form requests from your static website to webhooks in WP (and thus also Uncanny), but not the other way around.
Instead of Uncanny, you can also use external services like Zapier, IFTTT, Make, and so on - as long as it follows the same direction: static site sends the request, and the other services receives it 🙂

Wow you are so quick with your answer. Thanks for that! Just to be clear. Can I use the webhook that is built into the forms plugin settings or into the settings of simply static?

Technically, both work.
However, in my experience, there are often some hiccups with the webhook settings directly built into the form plugin, so to be 100% sure, I would add the webhook to the Simply Static form connection settings instead.
