Form Triggers

Learn how to use Form Triggers in APIANT — generate public form URLs, design forms with the drag-drop editor, and process submitted form data within automations.

Form triggers are where a URL to a form is generated and anyone given that URL can access the form and submit input. A form trigger is like other instant triggers, where the automation's form trigger is fired whenever form entries are submitted.

The form trigger is found under System Utilities within the Human Interaction app:

Click the Edit button to open the form designer:

Edit Form
Edit Form
 

The drag-drop form designer lets you design your form and preview it.

The URL to the form can be obtained from the button here:

Get Form URL
Get Form URL
 

The form's URL can also be obtained by opening the form from the automation's gear menu in the dashboard here:

Actions in the automation can process the submitted form fields:

Form Output Fields

Note that one of the emitted fields is a timestamp, which indicates the unix epoch time the form entry was received.

When someone visits the form's URL, they will see the designed form and be able to submit their information:
