Private Operations

These operations are enablers for the public triggers and actions.

GetForms

This operation will return a list of forms as objects that contain the Id, InternalName, and Name. When used for the form parameter for actions and triggers, the user should see the Name, but the InternalName should be sent to the API.

GetFormSchema

This operation will return the schema for the specified form. The input parameter should be true for actions to exclude read-only properties and false for triggers to include all properties. The includeLinks parameter should be true for all actions and triggers except for EntryDeleted.

Parameters:
  • form: The internal form name or Id
  • input: A boolean indicating whether the schema returned should exclude properties that cannot be set. False by default.
  • includeLinks: A boolean indicating whether link properties for files, signatures, and documents should be included in the schema. True by default.

UnsubscribeWebhook

This operation will unsubscribe the specified webhook. The webhook will no longer receive any events after all currently queued events have been sent.

Parameters:
  • id: The Id of the webhook that should be unsubscribed.
  • module: The webhook's module. This should be set to "forms", as this connector only supports that module.
