📝 Form Submit

The Form Submit action enables you to submit form data to a backend service, database, or any configured endpoint as part of your Pageflows automation.

Configuration​

  • Connection: Select the database or API connection that will process the form submission.
  • Query Type: Choose the type of operation, such as INSERT, UPDATE, or custom query type depending on your backend.
  • Query: Select or define the specific query or stored procedure to execute for the submission.
  • Columns: Map form fields to database columns or API parameters.
    • Define each column name and bind it to a corresponding form input or variable value.
    • Add multiple column mappings as needed.

Features​

  • Supports dynamic data binding from form fields to backend data structures.
  • Enables submitting new records or updating existing ones.
  • Can handle complex queries, stored procedures, or API calls.
  • Integrates with various database types and endpoints.
  • Validates required fields and connection status before submission.

Use Cases​

  • Submitting user registration or contact forms to a database.
  • Updating existing records in a CRM or ERP system.
  • Processing form-driven transactions or orders.
  • Capturing survey or feedback responses for analysis.
  • Automating backend updates triggered by frontend user input.

Best Practices​

  • Always validate form data before submission to avoid errors.
  • Use transactions in backend queries where possible to maintain data integrity.
  • Map all required columns to avoid incomplete submissions.
  • Test query execution independently to ensure correctness.
  • Handle submission errors gracefully in your Pageflows UI.

Notes​

  • The selected connection must be properly configured with access rights to execute the query.
  • Ensure query parameters are sanitized to prevent SQL injection or other security risks.
  • You can combine this action with other Pageflows steps like notifications or logging for a full submission pipeline.

Tip: Use this action along with data validation and conditional branching to create robust and user-friendly form submission Pageflows.
