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.

Dropbox Overview#

The Dropbox API on Pipedream enables you to automate file and folder operations, streamlining workflows that involve storing, syncing, and sharing content. With this API, you can programmatically manage files, set up event-driven triggers based on changes within Dropbox, and leverage Pipedream's capabilities to connect with hundreds of other apps for extended automation scenarios. It's ideal for building custom file management solutions, archiving systems, or collaborative content workflows without writing extensive code.
