Question: Using Routing Forms via API

[danilo-leal]

Hey! I couldn't find any content about using Routing Forms via an API. Is there a way to do that? Essentially, what I want to be able to do is have the form built in my actual site, with my components and whatnot. Then, upon submitting this form, having it stored as an entry the same way it would if I were using the Cal.com native form link.

To use Routing Forms via the Cal.com API, you can integrate your external form with Cal.com's routing system by following these steps:

1. Install the Routing Forms App: Ensure that the Routing Forms app is installed on your Cal.com account.

2. Create a Routing Form: Set up a Routing Form within Cal.com with the necessary fields that match your external form.

3. Use Webhooks: You can utilize Cal.com's webhook functionality to handle form submissions. When a form is submitted on your site, you can send the data to Cal.com using a webhook event, such as Form Submitted ^[1].

4. API Authentication: Make sure to authenticate your API requests using an API key. Include the API key as a query parameter in your request URL ^[2].

5. Data Format: Submit the form data in JSON format, ensuring all required fields are included and validated ^[3].

By following these steps, you can integrate your custom form with Cal.com's routing system, allowing you to store form entries as if they were submitted through Cal.com's native form link.
