One of the most informative, very easy to digest content! I've been looking for a good video that explains API and Webhooks for Wordpress for a while, but none of them was this good and informative at the same time. On top of that, you clarified all the gaps about API and webhooks for me as well. Big thumbs up and thanks a LOT, man!

[m.o.]

Man, a master piece of a class. You taught so many items in a single teaching. I thought webhooks were something out of this world! Of course it all depends of what I need it to do, however you on simple steps showed how things work and how the information comes from A to B. I am a non-techie and I would love to follow your courses. let me know what courses you have and how I sign up. Thanks

I am looking for a good tutorial about webhooks. This one is awesome for me. Thanks a lot for providing this video.

[ashrafzaky]

I was looking for the reverse, adding a webhook to an application/service and intercept them in Wordpress but this was very helpful! Thanks pall

[jonwright]

Great video and I managed to get this to work. Couple of pointers: You didn't mention that when you've built your plugin, you need to activate it in Plugins>Installed Plugins in WP Admin (took me a while to realise this) and it would be great to see how you amend this to include extra things such as; published date, modified date, author, category etc.

[mevthawk]

Thank you for making me understand quickly.

what if i have a wordpress plugin but it does not support the gateway i want. I dont want to use integromat or zapier because of the costs. this is my scenario: I have multiple values for each serive so i need to have a wordpress contactform that calculates the total price. I normally could add a redirect on the button and then redirect to the payment page of the payment gateway but because each time i have variant values i can not do this. Do you know a way on how to do this with wordpress? i know this is through webhooks but how can i add this to any plugin?You can make a video on this? for example for Booking Calendar | Appointment Booking | BookIt. that would be awesome. thank you
