Zoho Forms Overview#

Zoho Forms API allows you to automate interactions with your forms and the data you collect. Leveraging Pipedream, you can harness this API to trigger workflows upon new form submissions, manipulate form entries, and sync data with other services. Pipedream’s serverless platform simplifies integrating Zoho Forms with hundreds of other apps, empowering you to create custom, scalable workflows without hosting or managing servers.

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
Zoho Forms	`zohoForms`	`app`	This component uses the Zoho Forms 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 Link Name	`formLinkName`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

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

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

ConvertAPI Overview#

ConvertAPI is a powerhouse for online file conversion, enabling you to transform files from one format to another effortlessly. It supports a plethora of file types, from common ones like PDFs and DOCs to more obscure formats. With ConvertAPI on Pipedream, you can automate file conversion tasks, seamlessly integrating them into workflows that trigger on events from other apps or schedules. Imagine converting incoming email attachments, processing uploaded documents, or archiving files in a different format—all happening automatically, in the background.
