API Catch form submission

Corentin Dal Farra

Hello everyone,

Do you know if there are some ways to catch a form submission with Smartsheet API, before the row is created in a sheet ? I did not find this information in the documentation.

I need to do this to put some controls and verification to prevent someone from creating a form with a specific ID already existing in a row in my sheet.

 If you have any advice, I'm more than interested!

Thank you, have a nice day,

Corentin

Hi @Corentin Dal Farra

As a possible workaround, you could have the form in another so-called helper sheet, and when it's submitted, you could check for a duplicate against the main sheet, and if there isn't one, you'd copy/move the row to the main sheet.

Make sense?

Would that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic week!
