I need to pass all data collected, not map individual fields. This gives us the flexibility to change the form and have all the data show. Formidable has a single key for all of the form data in a formatted way that is used when triggering an email. Why is this not passed to Zapier for use in Zaps? Its extremely time consuming to re-map all the fields whenever there is an update to the form.

Include All Data From Formidable Form

The answer is not to custom-develop an API integration. The point of Zapier is to handle these things for me. The answer is that Formidable needs to pass a formatted veritable to Zapier for use. I’m unsure who maintains the integration (Zapier, Formidable, or a 3rd Party), but they need to figure it out.

Hi
Good question.
A possible workaround to try: Formidable Forms - API Webhooks Add-On
https://formidableforms.com/features/wordpress-form-api/
Zap trigger: Webhook - Catch Hook or Webhook - Catch Raw Hook
- Beginner
The issue with using the catch webhook is:
- I lose the key-value pairs that come pre-mapped.
- There is still no human-readable single variable for use captured that way.
I need a Zapier variable like this:
{{ Formatted Data Blob }} = `
<b>Input Title 1: </b>value 1<br>
<b>Input Title 2: </b>value 2<br>
ext
`
That variable type exists but is only usable as an email Fromitable sends in response to a form submission. I could use an email hook in Zapier to capture it, but then I lose the pre-mapped key-value pairs.

Did you try the this Zap trigger: Webhook - Catch Raw Hook

Does the provided raw JSON provide all the fields you need?
If so, then you can use a Code step to parse that JSON.

Most apps on Zapier are built and maintained by the app developers themselves on the Zapier Developer Platform.
That would likely involve configuring a custom webhook in Formidable Forms with the desired formatting, since your requirements for formatting are likely different than other users.
I need a Zapier variable like this:
{{ Formatted Data Blob }} = `
<b>Input Title 1: </b>value 1<br>
<b>Input Title 2: </b>value 2<br>
ext
