FastField

With FastField modules in Make, you can watch form submissions and list, create, and/or update dispatches, global lists, and lookup lists.

To use FastField with Make, you must have both a FastField user account and a FastField developer account. To get access to a developer account, raise a request with the FastField support team within your FastField user account. You will receive your FastField developer account login details via email.

Refer to the FastField API documentation for a list of available endpoints.

You have successfully established the connection. You can now edit your scenario and add more FastField modules. If your connection requires reauthorization at any point, follow the connection renewal steps here.

Set Up FastField Webhooks

This app uses webhooks to trigger a scenario when an event occurs instantly. All webhook modules have an instant tag next to their name.

FastField Portal Views

To set up Fastfield webhooks, ensure that your FastField user portal is set to the New Portal view, not the Classic Portal view. To determine which portal view you are using, click on your profile icon in the bottom of the left sidebar.

  • If you see the Try Our New Portal option, click on it to go to the New Portal view and configure the webhook as described below.

  • If you see the Return To Classic Portal option, you are already in the New Portal and can configure the webhook as described below.

Once you have finished configuring the webhook, you can return to your preferred portal view by once again clicking on your profile icon in the bottom of the left sidebar and selecting the portal option.

To set up a webhook, follow these steps:

  1. Add a FastField instant module to your scenario and click Create a webhook.

  2. Optional: Enter a name for the webhook in the Webhook name field.

  3. Select the corresponding connection for the webhook in the Connection field.

  4. Click Save > Copy address to clipboard.

  5. Log in to your FastField user account.

  6. In the left sidebar, click on Account > Company Settings.

    Note: If you do not see the Account option in the left sidebar, refer to the FastField Portal Views information above.

  7. In the top menu, click on Data Delivery.

  8. In the Webhook section, paste the address copied in step 4 into the Form Submit URL field.

  9. Click Save.

FastField will now send data to Make through the webhook when the selected event occurs.
