Why not call Tally's API directly from your own endpoint? You can — but then you own Tally's signature verification, retry handling, and payload quirks yourself. ZestyGlue verifies the signature, normalizes the event into a clean JSON body, and POSTs it to your URL — you only write the part that's actually yours.
What it looks like
ZestyGlue
Tally — New Submission
A real Tally event, shown as ZestyGlue formats it for Custom Webhook.
Setup — about two minutes
- Create the connector. In ZestyGlue, start a new Tally → Custom Webhook connector. You'll get a unique webhook URL right away.
- Point Tally at it. In your form, go to Integrations → Webhooks, and paste in your ZestyGlue webhook URL.
- (Optional) copy the signing secret. Tally can show a signing secret for extra verification — paste it into ZestyGlue if you'd like, though it isn't required to get started.
- Point it at your endpoint. Paste the URL of your own server, script, or automation tool's webhook receiver — no signup, no app to install.
Tip: Tally includes every visible form field in its webhook payload — ZestyGlue shows up to six of them in the notification, so short forms show their full content directly without anyone opening a spreadsheet.

Questions
Is my Tally Signing Secret safe with ZestyGlue?
It's encrypted at rest with Fernet symmetric encryption before it ever touches disk, it's never logged, and it's never displayed again in the dashboard after you enter it — only a masked placeholder is shown.
What happens with file upload fields?
Tally includes a link to the uploaded file in its payload; ZestyGlue shows it as a line of text like any other field value.
Does this work with multi-page Tally forms?
Yes — Tally sends one webhook per completed submission regardless of how many pages the form has.
Do I need to write my own server to receive this?
Yes — this destination expects your own endpoint (or a tool like a serverless function, a script, or another automation platform's webhook trigger) to receive the POST. If you don't have one yet, pick one of ZestyGlue's built-in destinations instead.
What happens if my ZestyGlue subscription lapses?
Events are silently dropped rather than causing errors on Tally's side — Tally never sees a failure response, so it won't retry aggressively or flag your webhook as broken. Your dashboard will simply stop showing new events until you resubscribe.
