Paperform is a form and survey builder for collecting responses, payments, and signups, with a REST API for managing forms, submissions, products, coupons, webhooks, spaces, and Papersign documents. Nexla connects to the Paperform API to ingest this data as a source and to send updates back to Paperform as a destination.
Power end-to-end data operations for your Paperform API with Nexla. Our bi-directional Paperform connector is purpose-built for Paperform, making it simple to ingest data, sync it across systems, and deliver it anywhere — all with no coding required. Nexla turns API-sourced data into ready-to-use, reusable data products and makes it easy to send data to Paperform or any other destination. With comprehensive monitoring, lineage tracking, and access controls, Nexla keeps your Paperform workflows fast, secure, and fully governed.

Before creating a Paperform credential, you need an API key from your Paperform account. Paperform authenticates every API request with an API key sent as a bearer token in the Authorization header (Authorization: Bearer <token>). API access requires a Paperform Standard or Business plan.
After selecting the data source/destination type, click the Add Credential tile to open the Add New Credential overlay.
Enter a name for the credential in the Credential Name field and a short, meaningful description in the Credential Description field.
Enter your Paperform API key in the API Key Value field. This key is sent as a bearer token in the Authorization header for all API requests and must be kept confidential.
Click the Save button at the bottom of the overlay. The newly added credential will now appear in a tile on the Authenticate screen during data source/destination creation.
To create a new data flow, navigate to the Integrate section, and click the New Data Flow button. Select the Paperform connector tile, then select the credential that will be used to connect to Paperform, and click Next; or, create a new Paperform credential for use in this flow.
Nexla provides pre-built templates that can be used to rapidly configure data sources to ingest data from common Paperform endpoints. Select the endpoint from which this source will fetch data from the Endpoint pulldown menu. Available endpoint templates are listed in the expandable boxes below.

Sample data will be displayed in the Endpoint Test Result panel on the right, allowing you to verify that the source is configured correctly before saving.
Paperform data sources can also be manually configured to ingest data from any valid Paperform API endpoint, including endpoints not covered by the pre-built templates, chained API calls, or custom request parameters. Select the Advanced tab at the top of the configuration screen, and follow the instructions in Connect to Any API to configure the API method, endpoint URL, date/time and lookup macros, path to data, metadata, and request headers.
Once all of the relevant settings have been configured, click the Create button in the upper right corner of the screen to save and create the new Paperform data source. Nexla will now begin ingesting data from the configured endpoint and will organize any data that it finds into one or more Nexsets.
Click the + icon on the Nexset that will be sent to the Paperform destination, and select the Send to Destination option from the menu. Select the Paperform connector from the list of available destination connectors, then select the credential that will be used to connect to Paperform, and click Next; or, create a new Paperform credential for use in this flow.
