    Hi,

    We have Webhook working which is great. Once a user submits a form, it send data to our endpoint. However, would it be possible to populate the PDF/field of the form via API? For example, once a user submits a form, it sends data to our endpoint and we send something back (e.g generated ID) and populates that on the PDF?

    Regards,

    Duc

    Hi Duc,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. With Jotform API, it's possible to edit a submission so the changes will reflect automatically in the generated PDF. You can use the sample code below:

        curl -X POST -d "submission[1_first]=Johny" -d "submission[new]=1" -d "submission[flag]=0" "https://api.jotform.com/submission/{submissionID}?apiKey={apiKey}"

    We also have our API documentation that you can check out.

    Reach out again if you need any help.
