Handling form submissions

Form inputs and survey selections can trigger downstream actions:

• Connector Actions: Send data to services like SendGrid, Braze, Freshdesk, or Iterable.
• API Actions: Call your custom APIs with the form data.
• Website Actions: Execute custom JavaScript; submitted values are available in the args object. For example:

// args example when user submits an email field
{
  promoInput1Value: "[email protected]"
}

Example use case: Capture an email via an input field, then use a SendGrid connector action to send a templated email to that address. SendGrid connector details
