Zapier: jotform → post

[bradl]

I would like to funnel jotform submissions into forum topics. I believe I see where and how to map form fields into the topic body, but I'm stumped as to how to specify the author of the post.

My assumption is that I will need to include a hidden field in the form that will map to post author — in this case I would use a forum admin account to be the post author. 

What is the format required for post author that the Invision zap will recognize as author?

Interestingly I enabled some advanced editor and it then let me pick any member from a dropdown. So that's great. Next hurdle, setting the forum to post in.

Well I managed to somehow bumble my way through and get it working. For the Forum issue I used the Custom option and inserted the forum slug (e.g., 62-contact-form-feedback) as a hidden form field and lo, a post was created. Mark as solved 🙂

 Do you see any errors in your system log?
