Build Trigger.dev forms with Paperform

Trigger.dev is a background job and workflow automation platform for developers. Build and deploy fully-managed AI agents and workflows with a REST API.

Paperform connects to Trigger.dev directly through Stepper workflows.

How Trigger.dev 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: 11 Trigger.dev actions and 3 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 Trigger.dev step, connect your account and map the submission’s answers to its fields.

What your form sends to Trigger.dev

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