Connection Authentication
The first step in integrating with Egnyte Connect is to authenticate the account with our platform to allow the two to communicate, either by pulling data into a data source from a spreadsheet or pushing data into static or dynamic locations in your account.
When signed into the Forms On Fire platform, navigate on the left-hand menu options to Connected Data>Connections; Once on the Connections page, click ADD CONNECTION found on the top-right corner.
Selecting the Egnyte option from the available list will add the Connection and allow you to enter in your Engyte Account Name/Domain*; then hit SAVE (top right corner).
*The web address used when creating your Egnyte account.
Egnyte Connection
After saving, an ‘AUTHORIZE’ button will appear on the Connection. Selecting this will launch a popup-window allowing you to enter your Egnyte Connect login details and authenticate the Connection. A successful connection will be indicated by a Connected green check mark to the right of the Connection.
And that's it! Now, depending if you want to push or pull data to/from Egnyte, adding a Form or Data Source Connector is next.
Adding a Data Source Connector
Importing rows from an Excel/CSV file that reside in your Egnyte Connect account can be achieved using a Data Source Connector.
For example, if you have client data that you want to use within apps created on our platform, a data source can be linked, prepopulated and set to update on a timed refresh for use in screens.
Navigating to Connected Data>Data Sources>Settings Page (of a data source)>Connector>ADD CONNECTOR+ and selecting the Egnyte option from the available list will add the Connector to that data source. Once the connector has ben added, enter the File's location (FolderName/Folder2/FileName.xlsx or .csv) and hit SAVE on the top right.
The column and row data will then be populated at the refresh frequency specified or by selecting the 'RUN NOW' option.
After successfully syncing the data from Egnyte into Forms On Fire, clicking on the data source's 'ROWS' option will allow you to view the pulled data.
Note that syncing times may vary depending on the amount of data being imported.

Adding a Form Connector
Exporting custom file outputs is achieved on form uploads by adding Form Connectors to the desired form. If you're looking to send/store multiple types of captured form data (e.g. customized PDFs, Word docs, Excel files) into your Egnyte account, the ability to add numerous Form Connectors to a form makes this possible.
Navigate to Apps>Screens>Connectors page (of a form)>ADD CONNECTOR button found on the top right corner and select the Egnyte option from the available list to add the Connector to that form.
Once the connector has been added, you'll be able to configure the following settings:
1. Send Form Answers
You can choose what format you want your Form entry data to be sent as.
CSV: Sends a Form data as a CSV file attachment on the email.
Excel: Sends a Microsoft Excel attachment, which is generated using an Excel XLSX template you upload.
PDF: Sends a PDF file attachment on the email, generated using either a generic PDF output or the Word/Excel template provided.
Text File: Sends a Form data as a Text File attachment on the email.
Word: Sends a Microsoft Word attachment, which is generated using a Word DOCX template you upload.
2. Send Media Files
Allows you to attached which media files to be included in the email.
The Connector will send/attach all media captured in the Form entry (photos, videos, etc.) as separate files with this option enabled.
This is in addition to any generated answer/template output of the connector.
