How to Connect Paperform as Data Source

The integration will allow you to get form responses from Paperform, passing them to other systems. For example, you can transfer new responses to CRM or GoogleSheets, send them as notifications to a group of managers, so as not to miss a single response. You can also send data in the form to the SMS or Email mailing service. So you can automate the process of processing responses to forms as efficiently as possible using the different services that you use.

Let's go through the entire Paperform setup steps together!

To start setup a new connection, click "Create Connection".

Find Webhooks, paste the Webhook link you copied earlier into the "URL" field and click "Add Webhook". Webhook transmission connection completed.

Note! After setup, our system will not immediately have test data and a list of fields, because nothing has come to the new URL yet.

It is necessary to perform an event, for example, to fill out a form.

After that, at the Test stage in the Data Source, fields with data will displayed.

If this does not happen, click "Load test data from Paperform" or repeat the generation of test data, or wait for a while, the data does not come immediately, but within 1 minute.

If necessary, you can set up a Data Filter, or click "Continue" to skip this step.
