Formless Actions Endpoints is an official addon for JetFormBuilder, developed by Crocoblock, that allows you to execute actions after form submission without needing to display a visible form on the front-end. With this addon, a simple button can trigger complete automation flows, such as publishing or deleting posts, updating users, changing content statuses, or sending data between different websites via the WordPress REST API.
This addon is designed for developers and site administrators who need to automate internal processes without friction for the user. It is especially useful in projects that require content approval systems, front-end post management, user panels with quick actions, or integrations between multiple WordPress sites. It is also valuable in WooCommerce stores and platforms where specific actions need to be executed after visitor interaction, such as one-click purchases or status updates.
Among its main functions, three types of action execution stand out: WordPress AJAX, which works through standard AJAX requests; REST API Endpoint, which allows triggering actions via requests to the REST API, turning the site into a backend for external applications; and URL Query String, which executes actions when navigating to a URL with specific parameters. Each endpoint is associated with a base JetFormBuilder form, from which it takes the data fields and the configured post-submit actions.
The addon includes advanced security controls, such as the option to restrict who can execute each action (any registered user, users with a specific role, or users with a specific capability) and a request log that allows auditing all submission attempts. Additionally, it offers a data structure section where you can define form fields, their types, and sample values, along with a sample request tab that generates the JSON ready to copy and paste into Elementor, Gutenberg, or Bricks button widgets.
With Formless Actions Endpoints, sites can create functional buttons that execute form actions without visible forms, manage post and user data programmatically, and send forms from external sites or applications through the REST API. It is the ideal solution for those looking to automate complex workflows and connect WordPress with external systems securely and efficiently.
