Stamplay Connects Developers To Web Forms With Its New API Integration: Wufoo!
The internet is full of forms. Signup forms, payment forms, survey forms, and well….you get the point. However, it is not practical or DRY to hardcode these web forms directly into apps again and again. So Form-as-a-service companies like Wufoo enable developers and non-developers to access, setup, and share these web forms in just minutes using their platform. Now the question arises…how do developers integrate these web form features into their own apps? Simple. Head over to Stamplay and connect your app to our brand new API component: Wufoo!
Overview
Wufoo is a Form-as-a-service platform. The form designer can create contact forms, online surveys, invitations, registrations and payments. Using Stamplay, you can connect to Wufoo and create custom events in that occur in your app whenever a Wufoo form is submitted.

Trigger & Action Setup
Select what event you want to be the trigger for the task, and then select what operation that you want the API component to perform as the action. The basic logic is “when this event (trigger) happens, then do this event (action).”
Form Selection
From the dropdown, select the Form that you wish to use for this task instance. You will need to have a form setup already in your Wufoo account for this to work.
Form Data
Go to your Wufoo account and submit your form. Now you will have access the the form data in your Action Config.
Action Data Configuration
Complete all fields as you would if you were filling out an email. You should enter your own email in the To field if you want to be emailed whenever a new form is submitted. For the body field, use the dropdown field to the right to select the entry fields of the form submitted, as well as any other desired property values you wish to be included.
Submit Form and Check Email!
Activate the task by going on your Wufoo account a submit the form. Then check your email for a form submission alert.
Use Cases
- On Wufoo Form Submit, Send Email Alert
- On Wufoo Form Submit, Send Form Details
