wordpress platform posting a lead to an api

keano · 20-01-2011, 10:34:10 AM

Hi All,

Does anyone have a solution for a wordpress based site that needs to do an automated HTTP post of a web generated lead (with only a couple of form variables, such as name, phone, email, etc) to an API when leads are generated.

Been searching around for some code, but I'm drawing a blank big time. I'm no expert coder but if someone had a code base, I'm sure I could work it out.

Thanks,

Mike

Do you have some code from the lead company to paste into a standard web page if so you could hard code it into a custom wordpress page.

I'm afraid not, so the code would need to be writen from scratch which is outside of my expertise that's for sure.

Guesing you may want just want something like this

Code:

<FORM action="Your API adress here" method="post">
    <P>
    <LABEL for="firstname">First name: </LABEL>
              <INPUT type="text" id="firstname"><BR>
    <LABEL for="lastname">Last name: </LABEL>
              <INPUT type="text" id="lastname"><BR>
    <LABEL for="email">email: </LABEL>
              <INPUT type="text" id="email"><BR>
    <INPUT type="submit" value="Send"> <INPUT type="reset">
    </P>
 </FORM>
