Mautic Trigger
Starts workflow when Mautic marketing automation events occur via webhooks
The Mautic Trigger fires when a Mautic instance reports a subscribed event — contact changes, form submissions, email interactions, page hits and point changes — passing the raw POST body through as the output. A typical build is reacting when a contact's lead score crosses a threshold.

Mautic Trigger
Triggers on Mautic events such as contact changes, form submissions, and email interactions
Overview
Receives webhook notifications from a Mautic instance when configured marketing automation events fire. Mautic is an open-source marketing automation platform. The trigger registers a webhook with the Mautic API that listens for specified events such as contact creation, form submissions, email opens, page hits, and point changes. The raw POST body from Mautic is returned as the output payload. Events can be ordered ascending or descending when multiple events are queued in a single webhook delivery. Supports both Basic Auth (username/password) and OAuth2 authentication against self-hosted Mautic instances. Useful for triggering workflows when contacts are created or updated, forms are submitted, emails are interacted with, or campaign events fire in Mautic.

Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Authentication | options | No | credentials | Authentication method to use for Mautic API calls. |
Options: credentials (Basic Auth with a username and password), oAuth2 | ||||
| Events | multiOptions | Yes | [] | Which Mautic events to listen for. |
Options: mautic.lead_post_save_new (a new contact is created), mautic.lead_post_save_update (an existing contact is updated), mautic.lead_points_change (a contact’s point value changes), mautic.lead_post_delete (a contact is deleted), mautic.lead_channel_subscription_changed (a contact’s channel subscription changes), mautic.lead_post_save_identified (a previously anonymous contact is identified), mautic.email_on_open, mautic.email_on_send, mautic.email_on_reply, mautic.form_on_submit, mautic.page_on_hit (a tracked page is visited by a contact), mautic.point_on_trigger (a point trigger action is executed), mautic.campaign_on_trigger, mautic.stage_on_change (a contact’s stage changes), mautic.webhook_kill (Mautic disables the webhook after excessive failures) | ||||
| Events Order | options | No | ASC | Order direction for queued events in one webhook delivery. Can be “ASC” (oldest first) or “DESC” (newest first). |
Options: ASC, DESC |
Output Data
Each Mautic delivery produces one output item:
_trigger— alwaysmautic_webhook_timestamp— ISO 8601 timestamp of when the request arrived_webhookEvent— the Mautic event name, taken from the delivery’s event header or from the firstmautic.*key in the body;unknownwhen neither is present
The raw Mautic body is merged in at the top level. Mautic keys that body by event name, so a contact-creation delivery arrives as a mautic.lead_post_save_new array of records — reference it downstream by expression, e.g. {{ $json["mautic.lead_post_save_new"][0].contact.id }}. Because Mautic can queue several events into one delivery, use Events Order to control whether the oldest or newest entry comes first.
Usage Examples
- Start a workflow when a new contact is created in Mautic
- Trigger follow-up actions when a Mautic form is submitted
- Sync data when a Mautic contact is updated or deleted
- Automate responses when an email is opened or a link is clicked in Mautic
Example Configuration
Fire when a contact is created, oldest queued event first:
{
"type": "mautic_trigger",
"parameters": {
"authentication": "credentials",
"events": ["mautic.lead_post_save_new"],
"eventsOrder": "ASC"
}
}
Watch every contact-lifecycle change:
{
"type": "mautic_trigger",
"parameters": {
"authentication": "credentials",
"events": [
"mautic.lead_post_save_new",
"mautic.lead_post_save_update",
"mautic.lead_post_delete",
"mautic.lead_points_change"
],
"eventsOrder": "ASC"
}
}
Handle form submissions and email engagement, newest event first:
{
"type": "mautic_trigger",
"parameters": {
"authentication": "oAuth2",
"events": [
"mautic.form_on_submit",
"mautic.email_on_open",
"mautic.email_on_reply"
],
"eventsOrder": "DESC"
}
}
Trigger Behavior
- Activation: When the workflow is activated, a webhook endpoint is registered with the service.
- Deactivation: The webhook is automatically unregistered when the workflow is deactivated.
- Payload: The incoming webhook payload is parsed and output as workflow items.
- Verification: Supports signature verification where applicable.
Tips
Entry point that fires when a Mautic instance sends a webhook for subscribed events. Configure which events to listen for (contact changes, form submissions, email interactions, page hits, point changes). Events can be ordered ASC or DESC when multiple events are queued in a single delivery. The raw Mautic POST body is returned as the output payload.
Frequently asked questions
What does the workflow receive?
The raw Mautic POST body as the output payload, so the shape is exactly what Mautic sent. Inspect a real delivery before mapping fields downstream.
What happens when several events queue up?
Mautic can deliver several events in one POST, and the ordering can be set ASC or DESC so you control which is processed first.
Which events can it subscribe to?
Contact changes, form submissions, email interactions, page hits and point changes — selected when configuring the trigger.
Which credential does it need?
A Mautic credential, the same one the Mautic action node uses.
Build with the Mautic Trigger node
Drop it into a workflow, wire it to an agent, or call it on a schedule. You'll need Mautic credentials first.
