Depending on your setup, data should flow between Softr and ConvertAPI (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.

Most powerful ways to connect Softr and ConvertAPI

Softr + ConvertAPI + Airtable: When a new form is submitted in Softr, the submission is automatically converted to a PDF file using ConvertAPI. The PDF file and the associated submission data are then stored as a new record in Airtable.

Softr + ConvertAPI + Google Drive: When a user submits a document through a Softr form, ConvertAPI converts the file to a different specified format. The converted file is then uploaded and saved to a specified folder in Google Drive.
