Formstack Overview#

The Formstack API facilitates the automation of form creation and submission processes, enhancing data collection and integration. With Pipedream's serverless platform, you can trigger workflows on form submissions, manipulate and route form data to various endpoints, and seamlessly connect Formstack with other apps to streamline tasks.

Trigger Code#

import base from "../common/base.mjs"; export default { ...base, key: "formstack-new-form-submission", name: "New Form Submission (Instant)", description: "Emit new event for each new form submission. [See docs here](https://formstack.readme.io/docs/form-id-webhook-post)", version: "0.0.3", dedupe: "unique", type: "source", methods: { ...base.methods, async emitEvent(event) { const { body } = event; if (!body.UniqueID) return; this.$emit(body, { id: body.UniqueID, summary: "New form submission", ts: new Date(), }); }, }, };

Trigger Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Formstack	`formstack`	`app`	This component uses the Formstack app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
N/A	`http`	`$.interface.http`	This component uses `$.interface.http` to generate a unique URL when the component is first instantiated. Each request to the URL will trigger the `run()` method of the component.
Forms	`formId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

Formstack uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Formstack account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Formstack and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Formstack API.

Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:
