123FormBuilder API – API Responses

Important Note

This version of the API was deprecated. If you still need to automate your data collection processes, and retrieve collected data or make various operations related to your 123FormBuilder account through API calls, you can use our new and improved API v2.

  2. Hi there,

    For data security reason, we would like to delete the submissions once they have been processed at our end. Is there a way to do it using an API please?

    Regards

    1. Hello Pavan!

      I apologize for the late reply. From what I see, your problem is linked to a 405 status code error, which can be fixed by adding a trailing slash, as explained in this article. If this is not the case, may I suggest waiting for one of my colleagues from customer support to reply to your previous email with a proper solution.

      For assistance, don’t hesitate to contact our Support Team at support@123formbuilder.com or via our contact form.

      Thanks!
