WHMCS webhook to Zapier

[Rusky]

Hi, hope someone can help me with this one...

I'm trying to create a ClientAdd webhook that triggers a Catch Hook in Zapier.

So far I've...

1. Created a file called ClientAdd.php in includes/hooks (see code below)

2. Setup the Catch Hook in Zapier. 

I'm not a developer, so not sure if my code below is correct. I feel something might be missing to make this work properly or the webhook isn't triggering in WHMCS. Anyone able to assist?

<?php
/**
 * Register hook function call.
 *
 * @param string $hookPoint The hook point to call
 * @param integer $priority The priority for the given hook function
 * @param string|function Function name to call or anonymous function.
 *
 * @return Depends on hook function point.
 */
add_hook('ClientAdd', 1, function ($vars)
{
    $userid = $vars['userid'];
    $firstname = $vars['firstname'];
    $lastname = $vars['lastname'];
    $companyname = $vars['companyname'];
    $email = $vars['email'];
    $address1 = $vars['address1'];
    $address2 = $vars['address2'];
    $city = $vars['city'];
    $state = $vars['state'];
    $postcode = $vars['postcode'];
    $country = $vars['country'];
    $phonenumber = $vars['phonenumber'];
    $tax_id = $vars['tax_id'];
    $emailoptout = $vars['emailoptout'];
    $notes = $vars['notes'];

    // Run code here...
    
    https://hooks.zapier.com/hooks/catch/XXXXXXX/XXXXX/silent/    (URL changed for security)
});

 I'm also unable to see anywhere in the logs where I can confirm that the WHMCS webhook has run after the ClientAdd event is triggered? As far as I can tell nothing is being triggered on the Zapier end by my code above.

Cheers
John

Did you get this sorted ?

Hey guys, so in case somebody else is looking for this.. (I am quite amazed that this is not a built in feature in WHMCS yet.. but oh well):

Rusky you can't just paste the webhook URL and expect it to receive parameters, it's PHP code and you need to utilizie it.

Here is an example of a hook file, that will send the first & last name of new customers, to your zapier hook:

add_hook('ClientAdd', 1, function ($vars)
{
    $userid = $vars['userid'];
    $firstname = $vars['firstname'];
    $lastname = $vars['lastname'];

    // Posting of the info -> Zapier Webhook
    echo file_get_contents('https://hooks.zapier.com/hooks/catch/WEBHOOK/', false, stream_context_create([
    'http' => [
        'method' => 'POST',
        'header'  => "Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded",
        'content' => http_build_query([
            'firstname' => $firstname, 'lastname' => $lastname
        ])
    ]
]));
});

 

So you can adjust it to send whatever parameters you'd like bout your new order. Here you can find the full reference of available parameters.
