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.

WebScraper.IO Overview#

The WebScraper.IO API allows you to programmatically perform web scraping tasks, extracting structured data from websites. With the API, you can automate the gathering of web content for analysis, monitoring, and integration with other data sources. In Pipedream, you can leverage this API to build workflows that process, analyze, and act on the data you scrape without writing code for backend infrastructure.
