Build Mediastack forms with Paperform

Mediastack is a real-time and historical news data API delivering articles from 7,500+ sources across 50+ countries in 13 languages, filterable by keywords, categories, countries, and languages.

Paperform connects to Mediastack directly through Stepper workflows.

How Mediastack 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: 4 Mediastack actions and 1 trigger, 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 Mediastack step, connect your account and map the submission’s answers to its fields.

What your form sends to Mediastack

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