First time I heard of ModX, looked through their website and it seem to be possible, quite a few CRM and form integration for other system. You might be able to figure it out on how they did it and do it for EspoCRM.

Searching on the forum, there is only 1 Russian thread that talked about ModX.

Solution

1. Create an entry point to CRM

Payload (for example):

{
"firstName": "FIRST_NAME",
"phoneNumber": "PHONE_NUMBER",
"emailAddress": "EMAIL_ADDRESS",
"description": "DESCRIPTION",
"iPAddress": "I_P_ADDRESS"
}

2. Add a Sniped to the "FormIt" category in ModX

Snippet code (you need to replace URL and API Key with your own values) :

<?php
if(file_exists(MODX_BASE_PATH . 'libs/EspoApiClient.php')) {
require_once(MODX_BASE_PATH . 'libs/EspoApiClient.php');
} else {
$modx->log('error', 'Not found need Class');
return true;
}

$name = '';
$phone = '';
$email = '';
$question = '';
$message = '';
$allFormFields = $hook->getValues();
$ip = $modx->getOption('REMOTE_ADDR', $_SERVER, '');
$formName = $modx->getOption('emailSubject', $formit->config, 'form-'.$modx->resource->get('id'));

foreach ($allFormFields as $key => $value) {
if(strpos($key, 'email') !== false) {
$email = $value;
unset($allFormFields[$key]);
}
if(strpos($key, 'name') !== false) {
$name = $value;
unset($allFormFields[$key]);
}
if(strpos($key, 'phone') !== false) {
$phone = str_replace(['(', ')', ' ', '-'], '', $value);
unset($allFormFields[$key]);
}
if(strpos($key, 'question') !== false) {
$question = "".$value.", ";
unset($allFormFields[$key]);
}
if(strpos($key, 'message') !== false) {
$message = "".$value."";
unset($allFormFields[$key]);
}
}
$message = 'Application "'.$formName.'" from the page "'.$modx->resource->get('pagetitle').'", description: '. $question .' '.$message.', IP - ' . $ip;
// $message = "Filled form from page -" . $allFormFields['page_name'] . '. Name of the form - ' . $formName . '. ' . '. IP - ' . $ip . '. ';
unset($allFormFields['page_name'], $allFormFields['page_url'], $allFormFields['pageId']);

$message .= implode('. ', $allFormFields);

$client = new EspoApiClient('https://xxxxxxxxxx.xxx/); // link to your site here

$apiKey = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'; // specify your API key here

$formData = [
'firstName' => $name,
'phoneNumber' => $phone,
'emailAddress' => $email,
'description' => $message
];

$client->request('POST', 'LeadCapture/' . $apiKey, $formData);
