FormsBridge

Bridge your WordPress forms without code, add custom fields, set up a workflow and make your data flow to your backend.

What is a bridge?

A bridge is a pipeline that looks like this:

1. Form

Create a form with one of the integrations.

→

↓

2. Custom fields

Add custom fields to form submissions.

→

↓

3. Workflow

Use workflows to process the data.

→

↓

4. Backend

Send the data to your backend or service.

User data will enter from your forms, populated with custom fields, mutated on the workflow and then, will fly to your backend. Use WordPress as what it is, a CMS and integrate it with bridges to an infinite stack of possibilities.

Integrations

Integrations are well known plugins that add forms to WordPress. We do bridges, let them do the forms and then work together to make your business work with ease.

Addons

Forms Bridge comes with free addons. Each addon adds to the plugin new bridges to work with specific APIs, new workflow jobs and bridge templates.

Templates

Forms Bridge is for developers¹ and let you define pipelines of data processing and API connections from the settings page without limitations, If it has an API it can be bridged!

At the same time, don’t repeat yourself is our mantra, it isn’t? Forms Bridge offers a bunch of bridge templates and a wizard that will simplify the process of bridge creation to a couple of field filling in a small stepper.

Custom fields

Custom fields are data that will be added the bridge payload. Use them to store private data you don’t want to place on your public forms, like user emails, or config values, like product IDs or lead tags.

You can use meta tags to place some metadata on your submissions.

Json fingers

A json finger is a hierarchical pointer to data structures like children[0].name.rendered. For example, if your backend waits for an payload like this:

{
  "name": "Bob",
  "address": {
    "street": "Carrer de Balmes, 250",
	"city": "Barcelona"
  }
}

Then you can use address.street and address.city fingers to point to this nested attributes.

Workflows

Make your form submissions flow through a chain of jobs that pre-process the data before it was sent over the wire. This is too much abstract, so let use explain it with an example:

This workflow is an example from a bridge template of the Odoo addon. You can us it out of the box, or take it as a starter point to build your own workflows. With a little bit of code, you can define custom workflow jobs, check out the documentation!

Backends

A backend can be your open software ERP, or maybe that email marketing platform your team works with. There is where the journey comes to end, where you data should be. To allow Forms Bridge to get to your backend, it needs a URL and an array of headers, if required.
