How to connect Formstack and Cloudinary
Create a New Scenario to Connect Formstack and Cloudinary
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 Formstack, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, Formstack or Cloudinary will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Formstack or Cloudinary, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

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

Set Up the Formstack and Cloudinary Integration
Use various Latenode nodes to transform data and enhance your integration:
- Branching: Create multiple branches within the scenario to handle complex logic.
- Merging: Combine different node branches into one, passing data through it.
- Plug n Play Nodes: Use nodes that don’t require account credentials.
- Ask AI: Use the GPT-powered option to add AI capabilities to any node.
- Wait: Set waiting times, either for intervals or until specific dates.
- Sub-scenarios (Nodules): Create sub-scenarios that are encapsulated in a single node.
- Iteration: Process arrays of data when needed.
- Code: Write custom code or ask our AI assistant to do it for you.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Formstack, Cloudinary, 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 Formstack and Cloudinary integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Formstack and Cloudinary (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Formstack and Cloudinary
Formstack + Cloudinary + Google Drive: When a new form submission is received in Formstack, the associated images are optimized in Cloudinary. Then, the optimized images and submission data are stored in a new file in Google Drive.
Cloudinary + Formstack + Slack: When a new image is uploaded to Cloudinary, and tagged or associated with a Formstack submission, a notification with the image details is sent to a Slack channel.
