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

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

GoCanvas
Configure the GoCanvas
Click on the GoCanvas node to configure it. You can modify the GoCanvas URL and choose between DEV and PROD versions. You can also copy it for use in further automations.
Add the Paperform Node
Next, click the plus (+) icon on the GoCanvas node, select Paperform from the list of available apps, and choose the action you need from the list of nodes within Paperform.

- 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.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring GoCanvas, 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 GoCanvas and Paperform integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between GoCanvas 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 GoCanvas and Paperform
GoCanvas + Paperform + Google Sheets: When a new submission is received in GoCanvas, the details are extracted and a corresponding form is automatically submitted in Paperform. The collected data from both platforms is then added to a Google Sheets spreadsheet for consolidated reporting.
Paperform + GoCanvas + Slack: Upon receiving a new form submission in Paperform, the workflow checks GoCanvas for related inspection data using a 'Get Submission' action if available. If inspection data is found, a summary including both the form data and inspection results is sent to a designated Slack channel to notify the relevant team.
