How-to guides - URL Encoded Form

This request format can be declared in any keys (execute, acquire, fields etc.) in your custom connector code.

Sample code snippet

Let's use the submit data to a form endpoint in HubSpot API (opens new window) as an example. This endpoint accepts form data in form urlencoded format.

A cURL example looks like this:

curl \
  https://forms.hubspot.com/uploads/form/v2/12345/67890 \
  -X POST \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \
  -d 'firstname=TestContact&lastname=FormSub&[email protected]&newcustomproperty=testing&hs_context=%7B%22hutk%22%3A%2260c2ccdfe4892f0fa0593940b12c11aa%22%2C%22ipAddress%22%3A%22192.168.1.12%22%2C%22pageUrl%22%3A%22http%3A%2F%2Fdemo.hubapi.com%2Fcontact%2F%22%2C%22pageName%22%3A%22Contact%2BUs%22%2C%22redirectUrl%22%3A%22http%3A%2F%2Fdemo.hubapi.com%2Fthank-you%2F%22%7D'

This cURL command can be replicated in Workato:

{
  title: "HubSpot",

  connection: {
    # Some code here
  },

  test: {
    # Some code here
  },

  actions: {
    submit_form: {
      input_fields: lambda do
        [
          {
            name: "portal_id",
            type: "string"
          },
          {
            name: "form_guid",
            type: "string"
          },
          {
            name: "hutk",
            type: "string"
          },
          {
            name: "ipAddress",
            type: "string"
          },
          {
            name: "pageUrl",
            type: "string"
          },
          {
            name: "pageName",
            type: "string"
          },
          {
            name: "redirectUrl",
            type: "string"
          }
        ]
      end,

      execute: lambda do |connection, input|
        post("https://forms.hubspot.com/uploads/form/v2/#{input['portal_id']}/#{input['form_guid']}").
          request_body(
            input.reject { |k,v| k == 'portal_id' || k == 'form_guid' }
          ).
          request_format_www_form_urlencoded


      end
    },

    output_fields: { ... }
  },
