Build Convex forms with Paperform

Convex is a reactive backend-as-a-service platform providing a real-time database, serverless TypeScript functions, and file storage. Connect your Convex deployment to automate workflows with queries, mutations, and actions.

Paperform connects to Convex directly through Stepper workflows.

How Convex 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: 5 Convex actions and 1 trigger, included in your Paperform account.

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

What your form sends to Convex

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

Convex field	Question on your form	Required
Function Path	Short answer	Yes
Arguments (JSON)	Short answer	No

Pick a template, then connect it to Convex. There are 30,000+ in the templates directory.
