Formaloo Overview#

The Formaloo API lets you interact with your forms and data on Formaloo. You can create new forms, fetch responses, analyze submissions, and more, right within Pipedream. Pipedream's serverless platform facilitates the automation of these tasks, enabling you to integrate Formaloo with hundreds of other services to streamline workflows, analyze data, and synchronize across platforms.

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
Formaloo	`formaloo`	`app`	This component uses the Formaloo app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
Polling interval	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`	Pipedream will poll the Formaloo on this schedule

Trigger Authentication#

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

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

RSS Overview#

The RSS app allows users to automatically fetch and parse updates from web feeds. This functionality is pivotal for staying abreast of content changes or updates from websites, blogs, and news outlets that offer RSS feeds. With Pipedream, you can harness the RSS API to trigger workflows that enable a broad range of automations, like content aggregation, monitoring for specific keywords, notifications, and data synchronization across platforms.
