JotForm is an online forms platform that helps customers across roles and industries create custom online forms and collect data, all without needing to write a line of code. JotForm is the first, and the only, full-featured online forms tool to be 100% mobile-friendly. Offering 100+ integrations and 380 widgets, JotForm provides vast customization opportunities and powerful functionality.

Authenticating

JotForm uses API Key based auth, a developer-friendly delegated access protocol. Quolum has already connected the necessary wires with JotForm. Using a sequence of click-throughs, your organization's administrator allows Quolum to make API calls to JotForm without getting access to passwords.

Step 1: Initiate a connection to JotForm

Click the Connect button from the Connections card. If you are not an admin, you can invite your organization's JotForm admin to make a connection to your JotForm organization account. When you click on the Connect button, the web browser will navigate to the JotForm login page.

Step 2: Log in to JotForm

Log in to JotForm using your organization's credentials. The exact login mechanism may depend on your JotForm plan, and the sign-in mechanism used. You may have corporate SSO such as Azure AD, GSuite, or Okta along with multi-factor authentication. Once you have successfully logged-in you can find the API Key and API Secret as mentioned below in Step 3.

Step 3: Back to Quolum

Once you have granted access to Quolum, JotForm is going to send you back to Quolum's page in Step 1, where you started. The Connect button on the Connections card would now say Reconnect. Reconnect is used to reauthenticate under circumstances where the access has expired.

Under the hood

Using the OAuth protocol, Quolum now has delegated access to your JotForm Workspace. The Quolum server, running on Amazon AWS VPC, will be able to make API calls and retrieve feature-level utilization of projects, stories, and tasks. Later, this data is crunched and available for visualization on the Quolum dashboard.
