What Are Connectors?

One of the most common requirements is to be able to email a copy of the Form entry to various people.
For example, if a building inspection is performed you may want to email a Certificate of Inspection to the building owner. Or if you are taking a product order from a customer, you might want to send them an order docket or invoice automatically.
This is where the Email Connector for Forms comes in.
You can add as many Connectors as you like to a Form, via the Connectors page.
The Connectors page can be accessed from your Form design, settings or from the Screens listing if you mouse over the Form row in question.

Most of our connectors are different in various ways depending on what systems they connect to and the functionality they provide.



However there are also some common options that most connectors feature.
These are described below.

Sometimes you may have a Connector that you only want to fire in the event that the Form entry has a given answer value.

For example you may have an Audit Form, which has a risk rating question with options like “Low”, “Medium” and “High”.

If the user answers the risk rating as “High”, then you want an email to be sent to a supervisor for follow-up and action. This is where a Run Condition comes in. Run Conditions are defined by creating a true/false formula. The Connector will only run if the formula you define in the Run Condition has a true result.

So in the example above, the Run Condition formula would be something like:

{{riskRating}} = ‘High’
