WARNING
The Express Forms plugin has been discontinued. Please see the Freeform migration guide for more information.
API Integrations Pro
Several API integrations are available in Pro edition. Express Forms is very extendable, so if you wish to build your own API integration, you're certainly able to do so.
All API Integration configuration for Express Forms is written to a YAML file named express-forms-integrations.yaml, located in your Craft /config/ directory. This allows you to set up sites quicker or have different configurations for each server environment. You can (and need to for OAuth integrations) continue to configure and set up integrations through the control panel however, and the changes will be updated automatically. Check out the Config Overrides documentation for more info.
TIP
For a much wider variety of API integrations, you may want to consider Freeform.
CRMs
Express Forms Pro supports some popular CRM (Customer Relationship Management) API integrations. Inside the Settings area of Express Forms, there is an API Integration manager, which allows you to manage your API integrations. If you currently have Express Forms Lite, you can purchase an upgrade to Express Forms Pro in the Craft Plugin Store.
The following CRM integrations are currently available for Express Forms Pro only (click each one for individual setup instructions):
Some important things to know about CRM integrations are:
- CRM integrations are globally available to all forms, but are configured per form inside the Form Builder interface.
- Most - if not all - integrations attempt to map all available fields and custom fields, but some may have limitations if the API is too complex or doesn't allow it.
- If a CRM integration has been configured, you will see an option to map and configure the CRM integration at the bottom left area of the Form Builder in the control panel. You may then map out your Express Forms fields to your CRM's fields.
Every integration is a little bit different, so we have detailed instructions for setting up each integration on their own page.
