Use Case: Adding Users through Integromat

Using Softr API and Integromat to add users to Softr

In this use case, we are going to use the API to add users to a Softr app via Integromat. We are going to add users on Google Sheets and send them to Softr (this is solely for demonstration purposes, and we don't recommend storing user data on Google Sheets or similar sources). Let's proceed.

Step 1: Setting a Trigger

First of all, we're going to create a spreadsheets with Name, Email, and Password columns to store user data.

Then we'll go to Integromat dashboard, create a new scenario, and add a trigger that watches for new rows on our selected sheet. See below.

Note that we're also setting the Row with headers according to our sheet (A1:C1).

Now we need to set up an Action to add the users received from Google Sheets. There are two options for this: Custom HTTP request and Integromat's Softr module. Let's consider each option separately

Option 1: Using a Custom HTTP Request

Step 2: Configuring the Action

In this case, we need to create a new module, search for HTTP, select it, and choose the Make a request action.

Now, let's start configuring the module based on our endpoint. First we need to add our URL, then select the method (POST), and finally add the required headers. We don't need to add the Content-Type header, as it's going to be added in the next step. You can see how it looks like below.

Further on, we need to set the Body Type to Raw and the Content Type to JSON. Lastly, we are going to fill in the Request Content using the format provided above. Please note that the Parse response option should be checked.

Step 3: Testing the Scenario

So, we're almost there. Let's just add a new row in our sheet and run the scenario to test it. As, you can see below, the user is successfully added to our Softr app.
