Build Appwrite forms with Paperform

Appwrite is an open-source backend-as-a-service platform providing APIs for databases, authentication, storage, functions, and messaging.

Paperform connects to Appwrite directly through Stepper workflows.

How Appwrite connects to Paperform

Direct methods run inside your Paperform account. Zapier and Make are there too if your team already uses them.

Stepper workflows

Direct

Run a Stepper workflow when someone submits your form: 12 Appwrite actions and 4 triggers, included in your Paperform account.

  1. Open Stepper from your Paperform account and create a workflow.
  2. Start it with the Paperform “New Submission” trigger and choose your form.
  3. Add a Appwrite step, connect your account and map the submission’s answers to its fields.

What your form sends to Appwrite

For example, with a Stepper workflow the “Create Document” action takes these fields. Map each one to a question on your form, and every submission fills them in.
