Step 1: Formidable Forms Plug-in

Formidable Forms is a WordPress form builder plugin that makes forms powerful, easy, and extendable. Completely customizable from HTML and hooks, with powerful tools and a simple interface. With Formidable Forms, you can get free lifetime updates. In the Formidable Forms, you have two options to trigger the zap. You may choose the New Entry and Delete Entry.

  • For the New Entry trigger event, it will trigger when a new form is submitted.
  • In the Delete Entry trigger event, it will trigger when an entry is deleted.

We assume that you already set up the Formidable Forms trigger step. Let’s go ahead and set up the PDF.co.
