Q: Q: How can I create a form from an external source? (Look up)
For example, I want to place a variables and insert the value from a google sheet - that would bring in more dynamicly.
Our usecase:
a school want to manage their photo releases via form. So, name, birthday & course should be delivered by an external source, depending on a prevously condition (insert an ID and the form will load the concerned data from the google sheet into the form).
Any idea ? ;-)
I see the url parameters ..but they are not dynamic - so it fits not 100%

Sep 19, 2024A: Creating forms from external resources is currently not possible. Once our API is available later this year, you will be able to create forms via the API. When creating a form, as a response, you will get the identifiers for pre-fillable fields.
Then you could use this data to further build your use-case and make use of our existing pre-filling, like you already mentioned.

Hey Andreas, how's the API coming along? Are you able to share usage terms for LTD account holders yet? If it's done, can we check the API docs?
Thanks!
The API is a work-in-progress, but will likely not launch before December. There are 2 other things we''d like to release first and then the rest of the API will be finished.
