Webflow

1. Create or edit your form, and be sure to include the required fields (see Supported fields).
⚠️
When adding a ‘Submit’ button to your form in Webflow, you must select a “form button” element (instead of a simple “button” element) so that it maps correctly to the form.
2. Find the form POST URL for your Program. To do so, navigate to your Program in Orbit and click on “Add member” then “Form Submission” in the top-right. On the new page, choose Webflow. The POST URL will be displayed there.


3. On your form in Webflow, click on the Form Settings icon, and add the URL copied to the “Action” field.
4. Lastly, make sure that the “Method” in the Webflow Form Settings is set to “POST” (and not “GET”).

Typeform

1. Create or edit your form, and be sure to include the required fields (see Supported fields).
2. Find the webhook URL for your Program. To do so, navigate to your Program in Orbit and click on “Add member” then “Form Submission” in the top-right. On the new page, choose Typeform. The webhook URL will be displayed there.

HTML Form

1. Create the HTML for the form. Here is a template to get you started:

<form action='[POST URL]' method='POST'>
  <label name='name'>Name</label>
  <input type='text' id='application-name' name='name' />

  <label name='email'>Email</label>
  <input type='text' id='application-email' name='email' />

  <input type='text' id='application-twitter' name='twitter' />

  <label name='why join'>Why do you want to join this program?</label>

</form>

5. Host this form on your webpage so your members can start applying!

Zapier

1. Start creating a new zap. Select the third-party app you want to connect, and the trigger event. The latter must be the event that occurs when the form is submitted.


2. Grant Zapier access to your Typeform account. You’ll be asked to Sign in.

3. Choose the form in your account you want to connect

4. Test the trigger. Zapier will collect the most recent entry in your form to test if the connection works. If you don't have any entry in the form, you will need to create one.

5. Select Orbit for the Action, and for the action event, select “Create a Submission to a Program”.


6. Grant Zapier access to your Orbit account. You’ll be asked to enter the ”Workspace Name” and your ”API Token”.


7. Create a new API token. To do so, navigate to your workspace settings page in Orbit and click on “API Tokens” then “New API Token”. Enter a name, and a description and click “Create”. Once the API token has been created, click on its name in the list of API tokens, and click "Copy”.

9. Find the public UUID for your Program. To do so, navigate to your Program in Orbit and click on “Add member” then “Form Submission” in the top-right. On the new page, choose Zapier. The public UUID will be displayed there.


10. Continue the process on Zapier, and paste the public UUID.

11. In the "Form response" section, select an answer in the right field and enter the question in the left field. You must do this for each question and answer you want to send to Orbit. Be sure that you include the required fields (see Supported fields).

12. Test the action. Zapier will send the responses to Orbit and you should see a new application to your Program.

13. Publish your zap to receive new form submissions into Orbit.
