Formstack Trigger Credentials

Hey there, workflow warriors! Are you ready to streamline your automation game with Formstack Trigger in n8n? I’ve got the scoop on how to set up your credentials, and trust me, it’s easier than you think. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just dipping your toes into the world of workflow automation, I’m here to guide you through the process. So, buckle up, and let’s dive into the nitty-gritty of setting up your Formstack Trigger credentials like a boss!

Setting Up Your Formstack Trigger Credentials

First things first, you need to create an account if you haven’t already. Once you’re in, you’ll see that Formstack supports two authentication methods: API access token and OAuth2. Let’s break down how to configure each one, so you can choose the method that suits you best.

Configuring API Access Token

To configure your API Access Token, you’ll need, well, an API Access Token. Here’s how to get one:

• Head over to Formstack and navigate to where you can generate an Access Token.
• Enter the Redirect URI. If you’re using a cloud n8n instance, enter https://oauth.n8n.cloud/oauth2/callback. For self-hosted n8n instances, use the format https://<n8n_url>/rest/oauth2-credential/callback.
• Select Website as your platform.
• Once you’ve created the application, grab that access token from the applications list or by diving into the application details.

Remember, access tokens are tied to a Formstack user, so they’ll follow the in-app user permissions. This means you need to ensure your Formstack account has the right permissions for what you’re trying to do.

Configuring OAuth2

Now, let’s talk about OAuth2. To get this set up, you’ll need a Client ID and a Client Secret. Here’s how to snag them:

• In Formstack, go to where you can generate these credentials.
• Enter the Redirect URI. Copy the OAuth Redirect URL from the n8n credential and paste it in. If you’re self-hosting, use the format https://<n8n_url>/rest/oauth2-credential/callback.
• Again, select Website as your platform.
• After creating the application, find it in the applications list, and copy the Client ID and Client Secret.
• Add these to n8n, and then hit the Connect my account button to kick off the OAuth2 flow and authorization process.

See? Not rocket science, right? Just a few steps, and you’re ready to automate like a pro.

Why This Matters

Wondering why you should bother with all this? Here’s the deal: setting up your Formstack Trigger credentials correctly means seamless integration with n8n.
