External Services
This plugin connects to the ActiveMerge document generation API to generate PDF, DOCX, and PPTX documents from Gravity Forms submissions.
What data is sent and when
- Template placeholders: When configuring a form, the plugin sends a request to retrieve available template placeholders from your ActiveMerge account.
- Document generation: When a Gravity Forms submission occurs (and document generation is enabled for that form), the plugin sends the mapped form field data along with the template ID and desired output format to the ActiveMerge API to generate a document.
- User credits: The plugin may request your account credit balance from the ActiveMerge API.
All API requests include your ActiveMerge API key for authentication.
