Create a submission export flow

When a user or automation marks a Formflow submission as "completed", then you likely want to make use of the data somewhere else.

It is straightforward to set up a custom export flow. There are a number of helpful third party services for such processing, including n8n, Zapier and IFTTT, or you can roll your own solution.

All approaches can make use of Formflow's webhook notifications, API and MCP services.

Be notified of new submissions

You will want to react to new submissions in the completed status. There are two ways to automate this:

• Regularly poll GET /submission for a list of the most recent submissions, maintain a list of processed submissions, and choose which submissions to process

• Register a webhook subscription. In this case, Formflow will POST at your designated endpoint and include a submission ID.

Fetching completed submissions

Regardless of how you became aware of a new completed submission, you will want to GET /submission/{id} using the unique submission ID. The response will include:

• submission metadata

• presigned temporary file download URLs (if configured)

• the complete data payload in JSON format

You can then process the submission payload per your business logic.
