How can I transfer data from an IFTTT macro to a new page without using ConfiForm Fields?

[Kathleen Janiszewski]

My customer wants to create a web page using an IFTTT macro onCreate, and a Template.  At the moment, they are using ConfiForm fields.  However, once the page has been created, they want to delete the ConfiForm data and just keep the text.  I can do this with the appropriate code in the template - using HTML &CSS to create the page, then by using JavaScript using the REST API to get the data from the ConfiForm, put the innerHTML into the respective fields in the web page, then delete the row in the ConfForm.  The question is, how do I get a key from the IFTTT to the newly created web page via the Template.  I kind of have a way to do, but putting just the entryId Form Field on the template, not showing it, then using #i_sel_entryId as the key to filter the ConfiForm data using the REST API, and displaying the data if it's the first time, then using the REST API to delete it from the ConfiForm.  It's kind of a kludgy way to do things.  Is there a more straightforward method?

Hi @Kathleen Janiszewski 

You can create a page from ConfiForms and reference to ConfiForms fields via [entry.fieldname] notations.

So, it will create a unlinked to ConfiForms page with a data from ConfiForms

Alex,

Thank you so much!  I had tried that earlier, but with a field that in my case, was null.  This time I tried it with [entry.id], and [entry.recordId], and it works!

Thanks again!

Of corse you can transform and format values as necessary and get rich properties out of the fields
