# Connect JotForm and Slack

When **New Form Submission** fires in [JotForm](https://apiant.ai/connections/jotform), your agent runs **Send Message** in [Slack](https://apiant.ai/connections/slack), or **New Channel Member** in Slack to **Create Submission** in JotForm. Describe the whole flow and it is built, tested on every scenario and kept running.

JotForm **2** triggers JotForm **36** actions Slack **15** triggers Slack **60** actions

What the catalog holds today. Ask for anything missing and your agent reads the API documentation and adds it.

## What do you want JotForm and Slack to do together?

Give your AI client this address.

`https://mcp.apiant.ai`

One connection does both: ask your client to act in an app once, or have it build an automation that keeps running. Any client that takes a remote MCP server. Nothing to install. Create your free account, then sign in once in your browser.

### Set it up in your client

### Claude Code

Run this in the directory you want to work in.

`claude mcp add --transport http -s project apiant-ai https://mcp.apiant.ai`

Start Claude Code there, approve the server, and sign in in the browser page it opens.

[Claude Code guide (opens in a new tab)](https://apiant.ai/docs/mcp/claude-code)

### Claude, web and desktop

Open Customize, then Connectors, then Add custom connector, and paste the address. On Team and Enterprise an owner adds it first.

[Setup guide (opens in a new tab)](https://apiant.ai/docs/mcp)

### Cursor

Add the address to your MCP configuration as a server URL. Cursor signs you in in your browser.

[Setup guide (opens in a new tab)](https://apiant.ai/docs/mcp)

### Zed

Open Settings, then AI, then MCP Servers, then Add Server, then Add Remote Server.

[Setup guide (opens in a new tab)](https://apiant.ai/docs/mcp)

### Codex and the ChatGPT desktop app

Open Settings, then MCP servers, then Add server, and choose Streamable HTTP. From the terminal, Codex takes the address with its own add command and then signs you in.

[Setup guide (opens in a new tab)](https://apiant.ai/docs/mcp)

### Any other MCP client

Paste the address where the client asks for a remote MCP server URL, and name the server apiant-ai where it lets you. APIANT's skills reach the client over the same connection.

JotForm collects the requests, signups and reports your team sends in; Slack is where people actually see them. Connecting the two lets a new JotForm submission reach the right channel or person in Slack, and lets a reply or reaction in Slack write back to the JotForm submission it belongs to.

Questions

## JotForm and Slack, answered

###

### Can a submission reach one person instead of a whole channel?

Yes. Use the JotForm submission trigger, look up the Slack user by the email on the submission with Find User by Email, then use Send Direct Message. If no Slack account matches that email, the flow can stop there instead of messaging anyone.

###

### Can something done in Slack change a JotForm submission?

Yes. Slack triggers such as New Reaction Added or New Channel Member can run JotForm actions like Edit Submission Data or Create Submission. The JotForm action needs the form and submission identifiers, so the flow has to carry or look them up first.

###

### What can start an automation from JotForm?

Any of JotForm's 2 triggers in the catalog, including New Form Submission and New Form Submission (instant). Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one.

###

### What can your agent do in Slack when something happens in JotForm?

Any of Slack's 60 actions, including Create Reminder, Send Message, Create Canvas and Create Channel. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.

###

### Can it also run from Slack to JotForm?

Yes. When something happens in Slack, your agent can act in JotForm too. This page covers both directions: Slack's triggers and JotForm's actions are listed here as well.

###

### Do I have to build a connector for JotForm or Slack?

No. Both are in the catalog with their triggers and actions. You describe the automation; your agent builds it, tests every scenario and keeps it running.

###

### Can my AI client use JotForm and Slack without building an automation?

Yes. With your AI client connected to APIANT, ask it to do something in either app once and it runs that action on the spot. Ask for an automation and your agent builds it, tests every scenario and keeps it running. One connection covers both.

###

### What happens when something fails?

Your agent works that out for you. It plans the failure paths along with the happy path, then tests every scenario before it ships.

###

### Is there a free plan?

Yes. Every plan includes the agent, including free, and building from your own AI client spends no assistant credits.
