Where data goes:

  • Webhook URL
  • Email address
  • API endpoint

Step 3: Map Data​

Match fields:

  • Form field → Destination field
  • Transformations
  • Defaults

Step 4: Test​

Verify integration:

  • Send test data
  • Check destination
  • Verify format

Step 5: Monitor​

Ongoing monitoring:

  • Check logs
  • Track errors
  • Optimize

Authentication​

API Keys​

Simple token auth:

Authorization: Bearer sk_live_xxx

OAuth​

Third-party auth:

  • Token refresh
  • Scope-based access

Webhooks​

  • Usage Tracking - Monitor credential usage across integrations
  • Organization-Scoped Access - Credentials shared within organization

Managing Credentials​

  1. Navigate to Settings > Integrations
  2. Click "Add Credential" for the desired service
  3. Follow the OAuth flow or enter API credentials
  4. Credentials are encrypted and stored securely
  5. Use credentials across forms and workflows
