Zapier

Integrate with Zapier to send form submissions to hundreds of third-party applications through secure REST webhooks and automated workflows.

Updated over 2 months ago

Formulayt can send form submissions to Zapier, where they can be used in Zaps to integrate with many other platforms. When integrated with Zapier, submissions are relayed through Formulayt's servers before being forwarded to Zapier's servers.

Our Zapier integration uses REST Web Hooks, which is a standard web technology. This means the integration will work with any other platform that also utilizes REST Web Hooks. If you'd like to learn more about integrating your own endpoint with our webhooks, please refer to this article.

Integration Setup

Configuring Your Formulayt Account

Before you can send form data to Zapier, the integration must first be activated from the Formulayt Apps Area.

Important Note: As soon as the integration is active, Formulayt will attempt to send all form submissions to Zapier. If you don't promptly configure a Zap to capture the data, you will lose form submissions.

You will need:

  • Your Formulayt account ID

  • Your Formulayt API key

Security Note: This key must be kept secret and not shared with anyone other than Zapier and Formulayt. It can be used to access sensitive data within your Formulayt account. If you suspect that your key has been compromised, you should request a new one.

Keep a secure record of these credentials for when you set up your Zap.

Configuring Your Zap

  1. Create a new Zap within Zapier

  2. Select the Formulayt app, and the Form Submission event as your trigger

  3. Use the Formulayt account ID and API key to configure the connection to Formulayt

  4. Test the trigger to pull a sample form submission from Formulayt into Zapier

    • This allows Zapier to understand what fields will be included in form submissions

    • This step is important for correctly configuring your Action

  5. Configure your action by selecting a destination platform

  6. Use the relevant options to push your form submission data into that platform

  7. Publish your Zap to allow form submission data to be processed correctly

When you first connect your Formulayt account to a Zap, we generate and send to Zapier a sample form submission containing test data. In some cases, the formats of this test data may not match what the receiving platform expects, causing errors during Zap testing. You can bypass this issue by skipping the final Zap test, but if you do this, you must conduct test submissions with real sample data from a test gate to verify it's received as expected by the target platform.

Important Notes

  • Once you activate the Zapier integration, your forms will send all submission data through our servers to Zapier

  • Any other submission URLs configured on your account will no longer be active

  • You will need to process all your form submission data from within Zapier

  • If you don't configure your Zap promptly after activation, form submission data won't be captured

  • Users completing your forms will see a "NO_VALID_WEBHOOKS" error message when they try to submit forms

  • Since Formulayt only relays your submission data and does not store it, it is not possible to retrieve lost submission data
