I didn't find a definitive answer to this in the documentation. If I create a Web Form, can it be filled out through the API?

We have several highly customized forms on our site. We want to keep them as they are, but when someone submits them, send the answers to a 'sister' Web Form, this way we can map answers to specific custom fields, and create a new Person and Leed.

Thank you

    Hello @ma_wove,

    To answer your first question, we currently do not have an open API that can interact with Webforms from Pipedrive, but if your end goal is to bring the data submitted in your custom webform to Pipedrive, you can skip the Pipedrive Webform part and use the existing API to create Contacts/Person and Leads.

    You can pass along/map the information related to the Person from the form in the Add Person API call, and the response of the request will contain person_id, which can be used in the Add a Lead API call to have the Person created linked to the Lead.

    In addition to the default fields, you can also use the custom fields in these requests to add data into Pipedrive.

    We can also suggest our dedicated Developer Community page for more ideas and suggestions related to Pipedrive API. We hope this helps!
