RenderForm Overview#

The RenderForm API empowers you to automate the conversion of HTML forms into static, embeddable forms. By integrating RenderForm with Pipedream, you can streamline the process of capturing responses and integrating them into your data pipeline. With Pipedream's serverless platform, you can create workflows that trigger on form submissions, pre-fill forms with data from external sources, and connect form data to other apps and services, such as CRMs, email marketing tools, or databases.

Trigger Code#

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
RenderForm	`app`	`app`	This component uses the RenderForm app.
