With Jotform’s Action Buttons, you can manually send your form data to other apps. It’s helpful when your form data go through a series of reviews before they are sent to 3rd party app. With just a click of a button, your form data is sent to the other app in no time.

First off, you have to open your Jotform Tables and do the following steps:

  1. Add a new column by clicking the +Add button at the end of your form’s Jotform Tables.
