New Submission (Instant) on Jotform

Description:Emit new event when a form is submitted

Version:0.1.5

Key:jotform-new-submission

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#

Helper Functions Overview#

The Helper Functions app on Pipedream is a set of pre-built functions that streamline common tasks in your workflows. It acts like a Swiss Army knife for developers, providing essential tools such as format conversion, date manipulation, and text processing. By leveraging these functions, you can reduce the boilerplate code needed for routine operations, speeding up the development of intricate automations. The Helper Functions API can be a game changer when it comes to tasks like parsing dates in user-friendly formats, encoding and decoding data, or generating UUIDs, making them more efficient and less error-prone.
