#### Configure MyFormCapture Webhook

                    Set up MyFormCapture to send lead data to your Slack webhook.

1. Go to your MyFormCapture account
2. Navigate to **Developer Options** → **Webhooks** → **Add New Endpoint**
3. Enter name: **Slack Integration**
4. Paste the webhook URL from the previous step
5. Set event type: **lead.created**
6. Click **Save** to complete the integration

##### Important Note

                            Make sure your webhook endpoint is properly configured and the event type matches your needs.

## ** Troubleshooting

              Check that the webhook URL is correct and the channel permissions are set properly. Verify that your Slack app has the necessary permissions and that the webhook is properly activated.

              Ensure you have admin privileges in the Slack workspace. Only workspace admins can create and configure Slack apps.

              Verify that the event type is set to 'lead.created' in MyFormCapture. Check that your webhook endpoint URL is correct and that MyFormCapture has webhook functionality enabled.

              The webhook sends basic JSON data to Slack. If you need custom formatting, you may need to set up an intermediate webhook handler that formats the data before sending to Slack.
