Need to post Facebbook Lead Entries into another platform

I have no idea what I’m doing. I just need to get people’s info from the Facebook lead form over into another platform that distributes those forms to lead buyers.

Here’s what I have from the other platform.

Use the following details to connect with your account:

API Key: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
System Name: 2483

API Endpoints:
Get Forms: https://leadsimplify.net/api/v1/get_forms

<?php //Set up API path and method $base_url = "https://leadsimplify.net/api/v1/"; $route = "get_forms"; $url = $base_url . $route; //Create request data string $data = http_build_query([ 'api_key' => '2xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx2701b49ab724c5b8b8664e5b26a4aa', 'uri' => '2483' ]); //Execute cURL request $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url); $output = curl_exec($ch); curl_close($ch); //Response echo $output; Please explain to me like I'm a 5th grader because when it comes to this stuff I basically am lol

Welcome to the Make community!

Unfortunately, Make doesn’t have a module for LeadSimplify.

If the external service has a Developer API Reference/Documentation then you should be able to integrate the endpoints in Make using the app’s universal module (Make an API Call) or generic HTTP “Make a request” module.

You can also suggest for it to be made in the Idea exchange. Don’t forget to search for it first, just in case someone already suggested it, so that you don’t end up creating a duplicate.

If you need assistance in setting up the app’s universal module, or the built-in generic HTTP modules, please provide additional information about what you have tried in relation to the external service’s Developer API Reference — how you are setting the connection up, a link to the endpoint are you trying to connect to, and what errors you are encountering.

You can also complete this brand new course/tutorial in the Make Academy on how to use external APIs — API calls with HTTP modules

  • API and Endpoints
  • Header and body
  • Multipart/form-data
  • OAuth 2.0

Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.

I guess you missed the part about explaining it to me like I’m a 5th grader. lol. Maybe I should have said 1st grader instead😄

None of this makes any sense to me whatsoever. I shared everything I have from their end which is pasted below:

Use the following details to connect with your account:

API Key: 2de83e23af198b8075af96c0632f5e69ac2701b49ab724c5b8b8664e5b26a4aa
System Name: 2483

API Endpoints:
Get Forms: https://leadsimplify.net/api/v1/get_forms

<?php //Set up API path and method $base_url = "https://leadsimplify.net/api/v1/"; $route = "get_forms"; $url = $base_url . $route; //Create request data string $data = http_build_query([ 'api_key' => '2de83e23af198b8075af96c0632f5e69ac2701b49ab724c5b8b8664e5b26a4aa', 'uri' => '2483' ]); //Execute cURL request $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url); $output = curl_exec($ch); curl_close($ch); //Response echo $output;

What you’ve shared is just code, which we can’t directly use in Make. We don’t know the different endpoints, how to authenticate, which headers, query strings, and body to use, and what to expect from the server.

Do they have an API reference like how Make does it?

Also, when sharing code, or JSON on this forum,

1. This forum might have or already changed your text

When pasting text into this forum, you should format the example text using the rich-text editor, otherwise the forum software might modify the displayed text, and you might get incorrect answers from others because of it.

Some things this forum software might do to mangle your text:

– remove extra spaces (which may be necessary)
– convert links to titles (when copied is incorrect)
– incorrect joined links
– convert single and double quotes to smart angled quotes (“ ”)
– emojis
– etc.

This interferes with you receiving correct answers, because it:

– makes JSON invalid (you can check by copy-pasting into jsonformatter.org)
– makes incorrect text examples when we need to build a pattern for text parsing

2. To prevent this in future, please format text in code blocks

These are the two ways to format text so that it won’t be modified by the forum:

  • Method 1: Type code block manually

    Add three backticks ``` before and after the content/bundle, like this:

    ```
    content goes here
    ```

  • Method 2. Highlight and click the format button in the editor

3. You might need to re-copy the original text

Once the post has been submitted, it’s too late to format it since it’s already butchered, and you need to make a re-copy of the text, and format it before submitting the forum post.

Please let us know once you have corrected the issue. This will avoid others potentially providing wrong answers based on incorrect text in your question.

Thank you!

Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.
