New Submission (Instant) on Jotform

Description:Emit new event when a form is submitted

Version:0.1.5

View on GitHub

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.
Team	`teamId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Form	`formId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

Jotform uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your Jotform account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to Jotform APIs in both code and no-code steps.

About Jotform#

Jotform enables you to create online forms, collect responses directly in your email, and create fillable PDF forms.

Google Ads Overview#

The Google Ads API lets you programmatically manage your Google Ads data and
campaigns. You can use the API to automate common tasks, such as:

Creating and managing campaigns
Adding and removing keywords
Adjusting bids

You can also use the API to get information about your campaigns, such as:

Campaign stats
Keyword stats
Ad performance

The Google Ads API is a powerful tool that lets you manage your Google Ads data
and campaigns programmatically. With the API, you can automate common tasks,
such as creating and managing campaigns, adding and removing keywords, and
adjusting bids. You can also use the API to get information about your
campaigns, such as campaign stats, keyword stats, and ad performance.

Customizing API requests with the Pipedream proxy

The Pipedream components interact with Google Ads API through Pipedream's proxy service, which handles authentication and developer token requirements.

The components accept a standard Google Ads API request object with the following structure:

const googleAdsReq = {
  method: "get|post|put|delete",  // HTTP method
  url: "/v16/...",                // Google Ads API endpoint path
  headers: {
    "Authorization": `Bearer ${this.googleAds.$auth.oauth_access_token}`
  },
  data: {}                        // Optional request body for POST/PUT requests
}

To make different API calls while using the proxy:

Modify the url path to match your desired Google Ads API endpoint
Update the method to match the required HTTP method
Add any necessary request body data in the data field
Include any required headers (Authorization is automatically included)

Example for a custom query:

const googleAdsReq = {
  method: "post",
  url: "/v16/customers/1234567890/googleAds:search",
  headers: {
    "Authorization": `Bearer ${this.googleAds.$auth.oauth_access_token}`
  },
  data: {
    query: "SELECT campaign.id, campaign.name FROM campaign"
  }
}

The proxy endpoint will remain the same: https://eolid4dq1k0t9hi.m.pipedream.net
