How to connect Formstack and OpenAI Responses
Create a New Scenario to Connect Formstack and OpenAI Responses
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 OpenAI Responses will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Formstack or OpenAI Responses, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Add the Formstack Node

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Formstack, OpenAI Responses, 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 OpenAI Responses integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Formstack and OpenAI Responses (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 OpenAI Responses
Formstack + OpenAI Responses + Slack: When a new form submission is received in Formstack, the data is sent to OpenAI Responses for analysis. A summary of the analysis is then sent to a designated Slack channel.
Formstack + OpenAI Responses + Google Sheets: Upon receiving a new submission in Formstack, the form data is used by OpenAI Responses to generate content. The generated content, along with the original form submission data, are then added as a new row to a Google Sheet.
