Details#

This integration uses pre-built, source-available components from Pipedream's GitHub repo. These components are developed by Pipedream and the community, and verified and maintained by Pipedream.

To contribute an update to an existing component or create a new component, create a PR on GitHub. If you're new to Pipedream component development, you can start with quickstarts for trigger span and action development, and then review the component API reference.

Trigger#

New Submission on PaperForm

Description:Emit new event when a new submission is made on the specified form in Paperform. [See the documentation](https://paperform.readme.io/reference/listformsubmissions)

PaperForm Overview#

The PaperForm API offers a robust means to interact programmatically with PaperForm's features, allowing you to automate form submissions, retrieve form data, and integrate with various other services. With Pipedream's serverless platform, you can construct workflows that respond to events from PaperForm forms—like new submissions—by triggering actions in other apps, or perform operations on the submissions themselves.

Trigger Code#

Action Authentication#

Twilio uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your Twilio account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to Twilio APIs in both code and no-code steps.

To connect your Twilio account to Pipedream,

API Key and API Key SID

First, create an API key in Twilio.

There are three types of keys: Main, Standard, and Restricted. You'll need a Main key to interact with certain API endpoints, like /Accounts.
If you don't need to interact with those endpoints, you can use a Standard or Restricted key.

After creating your key, you'll see fields for Sid and Secret. Enter those in the fields below.

Account SID and Auth Token

Visit your Twilio Dashboard. You'll see your Account SID and Auth Token under Account info.
