Answers.Text: That could certainly work :-) My initial solution now is ignoring webform_civicrm and creating my own module that picks up the webform submission and calls a specific api.

  <p>If you want every submission to create a contact without checking for an existing contact in CiviCRM, don't you do that by selecting <strong>-None-</strong> for the Matching Rule for contact 1.</p>

Answers.Text: That is probably what I was looking for, but at my customer's site the is no Matching Rule question for contact 1. They must be using an old version of webform civicrm integration

Body: <p>For a specific project we are using the Webform CiviCRM Integration extension for a form where the website visitor can sign a petition. Once this is done we want to use specific matching to find a contact or create a new one (using the apiWrapper hook).
  This means I would like an option in Webform CiviCRM Integration to say that it should always create a contact and NOT try to find a matching one using the dedupe rules, is that possible?</p>

  I am not sure that I understand the question.
  
  If you want every submission to create a contact without checking for an existing contact in CiviCRM, don't you do that by selecting **-None-** for the Matching Rule for contact 1.
