Include All Data From Formidable Form

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.

Hi @BillyMitchell 

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

https://zapier.com/apps/webhook/help

Badge

The issue with using the catch webhook is:

  1. I lose the key-value pairs that come pre-mapped.
  2. 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.

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.

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>
