Representative actions

  • Validate Formdesk Authentication

    Validates the Formdesk API bearer token and returns authentication details. This action confirms that your connected Formdesk account credentials are valid by making a test API call to the /forms endpoint. It returns the bearer token information that can be used for subsequent authenticated requests. **Important**: This does NOT perform username/password login. Formdesk uses API keys (bearer tokens) for authentication, which are obtained from your Formdesk account's User Management section. The username/password parameters are placeholders for API compatibility and are not used. **Use this action to**: - Verify that your Formdesk API credentials are valid - Retrieve the bearer token from your connected account - Confirm API connectivity before performing other operations **How it works**: 1. Uses the bearer token from your connected account metadata 2. Validates the token by calling the Formdesk /forms endpoint 3. Returns token details if validation succeeds

  • Create Formdesk Entry

    Submit a new entry (result) to a Formdesk form. This action creates a new form submission with the provided field values. Before using this action: 1. Use FORMDESK_GET_FORM_LIST to find the form ID 2. Use FORMDESK_GET_FORM_FIELDS to understand which fields the form expects 3. Prepare field values that match the form's schema The action returns the ID of the newly created entry, which can be used with FORMDESK_GET_ENTRY_DETAILS to retrieve the full entry data.

  • Create Field

    Creates a new field in a Formdesk form. Use this action to add fields like text inputs, email fields, textareas, checkboxes, date pickers, etc. to an existing form. You must have the form ID from FORMDESK_GET_FORM_LIST or FORMDESK_GET_FORM_DETAILS before creating fields. The field definition should specify at minimum the field name, type, and label. Additional properties like 'required', 'placeholder', 'description', and 'default' can be included.

  • Create Visitor

    Tool to add a new visitor to a specific Formdesk form. Use when you need to register a visitor's metadata before submitting entries.

  • Delete Formdesk Entry

    Deletes a specific entry (form submission/result) from a Formdesk form. This action is idempotent - it will succeed even if the entry doesn't exist (404), making it safe to call multiple times. Use this when you need to remove a form submission permanently. The entry can be obtained from GET_FORM_ENTRIES or GET_ENTRY_DETAILS actions.
