Build Val Town forms with Paperform

Val Town is a serverless TypeScript platform for deploying functions, APIs, and automations instantly. Manage vals, files, blob storage, SQLite databases, and environment variables.

Paperform connects to Val Town directly through Stepper workflows.

How Val Town 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: 13 Val Town 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 Val Town step, connect your account and map the submission’s answers to its fields.

What your form sends to Val Town

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