4 Ways to Maximize the iFormBuilder API

  • iFormBuilder, Mobile Workflow Solution, software integration, Tip of the Week

ben_formBuilder_blackBeltReported by: Ben Ray, iFormBuilder Solutions Engineer (and Black Belt FormBuilder)

Not a Developer? Neither am I.  Using the iFormBuilder API with Zapier, I can easily turn complex manual tasks into a time saving automated solution  to alleviate repetitive tasks.

Using Zapier, no development knowledge is required, which is why I absolutely love the tool. Before Zapier, integration with an on-premise server could be taxing and tedious. It could take many hours/days/weeks to build a custom web service that would properly integrate with iFormBuilder. Using Zapier, this can now be configured in a matter of minutes!

What is the iFormBuilder API?

The iFormBuilder API is a set of developer tools that allow you to automate your workflows.  Below are some examples of how to put the API to use:

  • Automatically populate a look up table from your back-end database.
  • Auto-Assign records to a specific user based on a set of conditions.
  • Populate your back-end database from an iFormBuilder record submission.
  • Automatically update Pick-lists with new options from your back-end system.


Why use Zapier?

No Developer. No Problem. Custom Web Services are replaced by Zapier in a simple field mapping interface. When a trigger is fired in iFormBuilder (new record, new user, new form, new widget, new company profile) an action is triggered in Zapier or vice-versa. This action can be with one of the 300+ and counting Web Service Apps that Zapier supports. For a list of supported Zapier Apps Click Here.

How to use iFormBuilder & Zapier

[dropcap4]1[/dropcap4]Create a New Zap and select iFormBuilder as the trigger.

Choosing iFormBuilder as the trigger will give you access to the many triggers Zapier supports like:

  • New User
  • New Form
  • New Company Profile
  • New Record
  • New Widget

[dropcap4]2[/dropcap4] Choose an Action 

Zapier’s 300+ supported apps can be used as actions for the iFormBuilder Triggers.

[dropcap4]3[/dropcap4] Configure the Zap

All Triggers and Actions have a standard configuration process that maps fields from iFormBuilder into fields from Zapier.

[dropcap4]4[/dropcap4] Turn the Zap on

Once the Zap is turned on, it will send a test trigger to ensure the service is behaving appropriately.

With Zapier, you can easily take advantage of the advanced iFormBuilder API, and begin revolutionizing how fields team collect data.  I work with customers every day who are looking to automate their workflows, and Zapier is my tool of choice for business users and developers.

Thanks,

Ben
