SurveyCTO Overview#

The SurveyCTO API enables automated interactions with SurveyCTO services, a platform focusing on data collection and organization for research and survey projects. With this API, you can seamlessly retrieve, push, and manage survey data. Integrating SurveyCTO with Pipedream opens a realm of possibilities for automating data workflows, such as triggering actions based on new survey submissions, syncing collected data with other databases or apps, or even automating reports and notifications.
