How to connect Creatomate and Softr
Create a New Scenario to Connect Creatomate and Softr
In the workspace, click the “Create New Scenario” button.

Add the First Step
Add the first node – a trigger that will initiate the scenario when it receives the required event. Triggers can be scheduled, called by a Creatomate, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, Creatomate or Softr will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Creatomate or Softr, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Add the Creatomate Node
Select the Creatomate node from the app selection panel on the right.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Creatomate, Softr, 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 Creatomate and Softr integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Creatomate and Softr (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Creatomate and Softr
Softr + Creatomate + Airtable: When a new form is submitted in Softr, Creatomate generates a personalized video using the form data. The video link and form data are then stored in Airtable.
