Fillout Overview#

The Fillout API provides robust tools for creating, managing, and analyzing custom forms and surveys. With Fillout, businesses can streamline the process of data collection and insights gathering directly from their users or customers. Using Pipedream's capabilities, you can integrate Fillout with hundreds of other services, enabling automated workflows that can trigger actions in other apps based on responses, synchronize data across platforms, or generate real-time notifications and reports.

Trigger Code#

import fillout from "../../fillout.app.mjs";
import sampleEmit from "./test-event.mjs";

export default {
  key: "fillout-new-submission-instant",
  name: "New Submission (Instant)",
  description: "Emit new event when a form receives a new submission.",
  version: "0.0.1",
  type: "source",
  dedupe: "unique",
  props: {
    fillout,
    http: {
      type: "$.interface.http",
      customResponse: false,
    },
    db: "$.service.db",
    formId: {
      propDefinition: [
        fillout,
        "formId",
      ],
    },
  },
  hooks: {
    async activate() {
      const data = await this.fillout.createWebhook({
        data: {
          formId: this.formId,
          url: this.http.endpoint,
        },
      });
      this.db.set("webhookId", data.id);
    },
    async deactivate() {
      const webhookId = this.db.get("webhookId");
      if (webhookId) {
        await this.fillout.deleteWebhook({
          data: {
            webhookId,
          },
        });
      }
    },
  },
  async run({ body }) {
    this.$emit(body, {
      id: body.submission.submissionId,
      summary: `New submission from form ${body.submission.submissionId}`,
      ts: body.submission.submissionTime,
    });
  },
  sampleEmit,
};

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
Fillout	`fillout`	`app`	This component uses the Fillout 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.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
Form ID	`formId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

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

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

Slack Overview#

The Pipedream Slack app enables you to build event-driven workflows that interact with the Slack API. Once you authorize the Pipedream app's access to your workspace, you can use Pipedream workflows to perform common Slack actions or write your own code against the Slack API.

The Pipedream Slack app is not a typical app. You don't interact with it directly as a bot, and it doesn't add custom functionality to your workspace out of the box. It makes it easier to automate anything you'd typically use the Slack API for, using Pipedream workflows.

Automate posting updates to your team channels
Create a bot to answer common questions
Integrate with your existing tools and services
And much more!
