Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring ConvertAPI, Paperform, and any additional nodes, don’t forget to save the scenario and click "Deploy." Activating the scenario ensures it will run automatically whenever the trigger node receives input or a condition is met. By default, all newly created scenarios are deactivated.
Test the Scenario
Run the scenario by clicking “Run once” and triggering an event to check if the ConvertAPI and Paperform integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between ConvertAPI and Paperform (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect ConvertAPI and Paperform
Paperform + ConvertAPI + Google Drive: When a new submission is made in Paperform, ConvertAPI converts the attached file to a desired format, and the converted file is then uploaded to Google Drive.
Paperform + ConvertAPI + Slack: Upon receiving a new form submission in Paperform, ConvertAPI converts the file attachment. Afterwards, a message is sent to a specified Slack channel, notifying users about the new submission and the converted file.
