Hi 

I am trying to create these input fields in the input designer from our own api 

I want to make a call to our API so all the fields we have would be available here is there a way to do this please advise ?

Hi Ruan,

It sounds like you’re trying to speed up development of your Visual Builder (also called Zapier Platform UI) app by automating the creation of the input fields here. Do I have that right?

There’s no way to do that in the Visual Builder, but if you build a CLI app instead you could write a script that would convert the output of your call to the API into a skeleton for the input fields.

Here is some documentation comparing Visual Builder to CLI apps.
