Build GitBook forms with Paperform

GitBook is a technical documentation platform for teams with docs-as-code support and AI-powered search. Create and manage documentation spaces, collections, and change requests.

Paperform connects to GitBook directly through Stepper workflows.

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

How GitBook 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: 9 GitBook actions and 2 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 GitBook step, connect your account and map the submission’s answers to its fields.

  • Get Space
  • Create Space
  • Create Collection

What your form sends to GitBook

For example, with a Stepper workflow the “Create Space” 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.
