I’d say you have two option:

a) The proper way: Create a little Mautic plugin to do that for you, as a console command run by cron

b) The non-PHP way: Have some script outside of Mautic and let it fetch the json on a regular basis (= cron), and turn it into CSV. Then use Mautic’s existing CSV importer via cron console command.

Best,

Sir,

Thanks for quick reply.

Is there an way to create a script outside of Mautic and let it fetch the json on a regular basis (= cron), and turn it into to update the mautic form.

[ ie HTTP JSON -> Mautic Form -> added in contact]

if yes pls let me know such script.

( Pls Note: i am a normal user not a developer)

I’m afraid no - both options that I laid out involve a bit of development (probably just a couple of hours, but I am not aware of any way around that)…

Thank you so much for your valuable time.

if there is any plugin or other code which can catch webhooks from the above reffered url and create contact.

Currently i am using zapier webhook to create contact from the above reffered URL but since it is a premium service and my free trial expired so i can not use it more.

If possible, pls let me know any alternate way like zapier to catch webhooks and create contact.

Thanks again
