How to Connect WS Form as Data Source
The integration will allow you to get form responses from WS Form, passing them to other systems. For example, you can transfer new responses to CRM or GoogleSheets, send them as notifications to a group of managers, so as not to miss a single response. You can also send data in the form to the SMS or Email mailing service. So you can automate the process of processing responses to forms as efficiently as possible using the different services that you use.

To start setup a new connection, click "Create Connection".
Select a system as the Data Source. In this case, you must specify WS Form.

Note! After setup, our system will not immediately have test data and a list of fields, because nothing has come to the new URL yet.
It is necessary to perform an event, for example, to fill out a form.

If this does not happen, click "Load test data from WS Form" or repeat the test data generation, or wait for a while, the data does not come immediately, but within 1 minute.
If necessary, you can set up a Data Filter, or click "Continue" to skip this step.
