Build Hygraph forms with Paperform

Hygraph is a GraphQL-native headless CMS with Content Federation, enabling teams to build and deliver content-rich digital experiences.

Paperform connects to Hygraph directly through Stepper workflows.

Paperform forms can sit on your Hygraph site, and what people submit can go into your content tools.

How Hygraph 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 Hygraph actions and 3 triggers, 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 Hygraph step, connect your account and map the submission’s answers to its fields.
