Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need coding to integrate the Forms API with Actionstep?

No-code setup is possible using no-code automation tools and built-in connectors. You can connect Forms API to Actionstep by configuring triggers, actions, and data mappings without writing code. For more complex workflows, you can layer in custom rules or conditional logic using webhooks.

The Forms API exposes endpoints to fetch forms and submissions, along with metadata about fields and responses. You can pull form lists, individual submissions, and associated form data to populate Actionstep records. Keep an eye on rate limits and field mappings to ensure clean data flow.

Use token-based authentication over HTTPS, rotate credentials regularly, and apply least-privilege access with scopes like forms.readonly. Store credentials securely and monitor access logs. Consider using IP allowlists and secret vaults for extra security.

Start with GET /forms/ to fetch your available forms, then move to GET /forms/submissions to pull submissions for those forms. This gives you the data you need to map to Actionstep records and test your automations.

Yes. Map custom form fields to corresponding Actionstep fields (contacts, deals, tasks) using your data mapping rules. You can handle nested fields and transformations to fit your schema.

Test the integration with sandbox or test data, verify the data flow end-to-end, and review error logs. Use sample submissions to validate field mappings before going live.

Endpoint documentation is typically provided by the API provider or developer portal. Look for guides on authentication, rate limits, and a reference of endpoints like /forms and /forms/submissions.
