Build Backlog forms with Paperform

Project management tool by Nulab with issue tracking, Gantt charts, and Kanban boards.

Paperform connects to Backlog directly through Stepper workflows.

Each submission can become a task, card or item in Backlog, so requests don't sit in an inbox.

How Backlog 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: 8 Backlog 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 Backlog step, connect your account and map the submission’s answers to its fields.

Backlog actions in Stepper

  • Update Issue

What your form sends to Backlog

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

Bring us the workflow that keeps breaking

Start with the one form whose data never quite lands where it should. Connect the rest when you're ready.
