What Sync Actions Supported?

 Formstack Sync can Create, Read and Update data for the following objects. In parentheses is the name given by Force.com CRM for an object if different than the Formstack Sync name.

Click on the Action to learn more about what these actions mean.

Depending on the other systems you are integrating, you may not always be able to Create and Update data for all of the above objects. When you click on  Auto-Generate Mappings in the Mapping screen, if any of the above objects does not have a Mapping option, you'll only be able to Read the data from this Object. So you'll still be able to map the data from these Objects over to the other system, it will just be Read-Only.
