Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity.

Overview

About this plugin

HookAnywhere is a powerful and flexible WordPress webhook plugin that lets you trigger outgoing webhooks from any WordPress action hook — including hooks from other plugins installed on your site.

Unlike basic webhook plugins that only support limited core events, HookAnywhere allows you to select a specific WordPress plugin and dynamically access all available action hooks defined inside it. Simply choose the hook you want to listen to and instantly send structured data to any external API or webhook endpoint.

Whether you’re integrating with Zapier, n8n, custom CRMs, marketing tools, or internal automation systems, this plugin gives you full control over how your WordPress site communicates with the outside world.

Why HookAnywhere?

Most free webhook plugins only support predefined WordPress core events. HookAnywhere goes further by allowing you to trigger webhooks from ANY action hook available on your site — including third-party plugins.

This makes it a true universal WordPress integration tool.

Core Features

  • Trigger Any Action Hook – Select a specific WordPress plugin and access all registered action hooks inside it.
  • Send Data to Any API or Webhook Endpoint – Works with REST APIs, automation platforms, and custom servers.
  • Custom Headers & Authentication – Add custom HTTP headers, pass authorization tokens, or configure authentication for secure API communication.
  • Flexible Body Parameters – Send structured JSON, form data, or custom request bodies.
  • Advanced Logging System – View complete request and response logs including headers, payload, response body, status codes, and execution time.
  • Log Retention Control – Automatically delete logs after a user-defined number of days to keep your database optimized.
  • Role-Based Access Control – Restrict webhook and log access based on user roles.
  • Log Export – Export webhook logs for reporting or migration.

Perfect For

  • WordPress developers
  • Automation engineers
  • No-code / low-code builders
  • Agencies managing integrations
  • Site owners connecting WordPress to external systems

HookAnywhere removes limitations and gives you complete transparency and control over your WordPress API integrations.

External services

HookAnywhere includes an optional newsletter subscription feature during the onboarding process. If a user explicitly opts in, their Name and Email Address are transmitted to a self-hosted instance of n8n (an open-source workflow automation platform) operated by the plugin author, for the purpose of sending plugin-related and promotional email updates.

  • n8n is open-source: https://github.com/n8n-io/n8n
  • n8n Privacy Policy: https://n8n.io/legal/privacy/

No data is sent without the user’s explicit consent.
