FormPress Overview#

The FormPress API allows you to create and manage forms dynamically, without needing a backend to process submissions. You can integrate FormPress with Pipedream to automate processes such as capturing form submissions, organizing data, triggering notifications, and connecting responses to various apps or services. Pipedream's serverless platform makes it simple to handle FormPress events and incorporate them into workflows, saving time and eliminating the need to manage infrastructure.

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
FormPress	`formpress`	`app`	This component uses the FormPress 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.
Form ID	`formId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

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

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