Custom API integrations

Buena tarde,

Estamos considerando el poder optar por una cuenta empresarial, para ello tenemos algunas primeras dudas que espero puedan ayudarme:

• Podemos integrar algun formulario a un API personalizada de nuestra empresa. Tenemos servicios que consumen y validad datos dentro de nuestro sistema que quisieramos enviar como respuesta al formulario.
• Para exportar datos, a postgres por ejemplo, estos se deben realizar por un asistente y genera un archivo sql, entiendo con ello puedo subir los datos, estos se pueden filtrar antes de la exportación o existe una forma de enviarnos datos en linea a nuestro sistema central.
• Para alojamiento local, entendemos en una nube a nuestro nombre, ¿tendremos acceso a los datos de forma directa?

Agradezco de antemano su atención.

SaludosChristofer

Hi curbizagastegui,

Thanks for reaching out to us for help. Unfortunately, our Spanish Support agents are currently busy helping other Jotform users at the moment. I’ll try to assist you in English using Google Translate, but you can reply in whichever language you feel comfortable using. Or, if you’d prefer to receive support in Spanish, let us know and we can have them do that. But, keep in mind that you’d have to wait until they’re available again.

Actually, you cannot use a custom API inside your Jotform but there are some workarounds to achieve this. You can POST Form data to your custom Thank you page and then call the API from that page. To do that ;

1. First of all, you need to have a custom Thank you page, hosted on your website
2. To post submission data to your own page, you should follow these steps: First, go to your settings, then click on Form Settings. After that, enable the Send Post Data option. To learn more about posting submission data to your thank you page, you can refer to this guide.
3. To edit the thank you page on the Form Builder, scroll down to the bottom and click on the Edit Thank You Page button. From there, choose the Redirect to an external link after submission option and paste the URL of your Thank You page. For more information on how to redirect users to a different page, check out this guide.
4. As the Thank You page is hosted on your website, you can customize it to your preferences and even call external APIs.

You can use Jotform Webhooks to instantly receive submission notifications. Check the detailed information here.

Please let us know if you need further assistance
