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

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

Render
Add the Formstack Node
Next, click the plus (+) icon on the Render node, select Formstack from the list of available apps, and choose the action you need from the list of nodes within Formstack.

Authenticate Formstack
Now, click the Formstack node and select the connection option. This can be an OAuth2 connection or an API key, which you can obtain in your Formstack settings. Authentication allows you to use Formstack through Latenode.
Configure the Render and Formstack Nodes
Next, configure the nodes by filling in the required parameters according to your logic. Fields marked with a red asterisk (*) are mandatory.
Set Up the Render and Formstack 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 Render, Formstack, 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 Render and Formstack integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Render and Formstack (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Render and Formstack
Formstack + Render + Slack: When a new form submission is received in Formstack, a deployment is triggered on Render. A Slack message is then sent to a designated channel to notify the team about the deployment.
Google Sheets + Render + Slack: New rows added to a Google Sheet trigger an update to a Render service, and a Slack message is sent to notify relevant team members about the update.
