Formstack Trigger

Starts a workflow when a form submission is received in Formstack, the workplace productivity platform for no-code online forms, documents, and signatures.

Authentication

Requires a Secure Vault-authenticated Formstack API connection. Configure this in the Credentials section when publishing your agent.

Parameters

ParameterDescription
FormSelect which Formstack form to monitor for new submissions
SimplifyWhen enabled (default), returns clean key-value pairs instead of nested field objects

What It Returns

When a form is submitted, the trigger outputs:

  • All submitted field values as key-value pairs
  • Submission metadata (submission ID, timestamp)
  • File upload URLs (if the form includes file upload fields)

Tips

  • Each Formstack Trigger monitors a single form. To process submissions from multiple forms, create separate workflows.
  • Formstack supports conditional logic in forms — the trigger receives only the fields that were shown to the respondent.
  • Combine with the HTTP Request node to fetch additional submission details or attachments via the Formstack API.
  • Formstack also supports documents and signatures — use webhooks for those via the generic Webhook Trigger node.

Limitations

  • Secure Vault authentication required
  • Webhook-based; the workflow must be active to receive submissions
  • Monitors one form per trigger node
