Jotform Overview#

Jotform’s API is a powerhouse for automating form and survey data management. With Pipedream, harness this API to trigger workflows from new form submissions, manipulate and analyze your form data, and sync it across various platforms. Think streamlined data entry to CRMs, instant notifications for new leads or feedback, and timely data backups to cloud storage.

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
Jotform	`jotform`	`app`	This component uses the Jotform app.
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.

DocuPost Overview#

The DocuPost API enables automated mail handling, offering services like sending letters, postcards, and checks via a programmatic interface. Within Pipedream, you can harness this API to create dynamic, serverless workflows that trigger postal mail actions based on various events from a plethora of supported apps. Think of automating thank-you notes, payment disbursements, or direct mail marketing campaigns, all reacting in real-time to user behavior, payment events, or custom triggers.
