Making a form submission from an external site 3 years 3 months ago #41813

Hi,

I have a requirement to have another website/web service to provide the data and submit a form to a clients website using RSForms. In this case the external site is Zapier using a webhook Action to make the form submission, however I think the processing involved should be the same regardless of the remote caller.

I have created a simple RSForm with two fields, name and email, and a Submit button that I have sometimes been disabling during my testing trying to get it to work.

The URL I am using with POST from Zapier is

mysite.com/index.php?option=com_rsform&v...ss@snaffleweb.com.au

and it works in so much as the HTML of the page is returned to Zapier test function with the 'name' and 'email' fields correctly filled in the same way I would see it on the URL bar of the browser. Please note the round brackets are really square brackets in my real URL string but this forum software is doing some strange things when I type [....]

Either I need to somehow add something to make it submit the form or I am not taking the right approach to get this form to accept and processing the form data. One example of this being attempted suggested there could be an issue with the CSRF and a Token in the Form needing to be set and provided, but it was not clear enough on how to do it.

Any pointers or examples of how to externally submit the data would be appreciated.
