Description
This workflow creates a customizable form with a dynamic dropdown field that automatically updates its options from an external data source.
How it works
- The workflow polls an external data source (Google Sheets in this example) at regular intervals
- New values are processed and formatted for the dropdown
- The form automatically updates with the new dropdown options
Set up steps
Configure your data source:
- Default setup uses Google Sheets
- replace with credentials for your sheet
- set up the update frequency
- Or modify to use any other data source (API, database, etc.)
Adjust the form configuration:
- Customize the form title and description
- Add or modify form fields as needed
- The template includes the dropdown field by default
Connect form submissions:
- Use the βExecute Workflowβ node to process form submissions
This template provides a foundation for creating dynamic forms that stay synchronized with your data sources, making it ideal for situations where dropdown options need to reflect current data.
