General considerations

Before you use App Connect with SurveyMonkey, take note of the following considerations:

• (General consideration) You can see lists of the trigger events and actions that are available on the Applications and APIs page of the App Connect Designer.

  For some applications, the events and actions depend on the environment and whether the connector supports configurable events and dynamic discovery of actions. If the application supports configurable events, you see a Show more configurable events link under the events list. If the application supports dynamic discovery of actions, you see a Show more link under the actions list.

• (General consideration) If you are using multiple accounts for an application, the set of fields that is displayed when you select an action for that application can vary for different accounts. In the flow editor, some applications always provide a curated set of static fields for an action. Other applications use dynamic discovery to retrieve the set of fields that are configured on the instance that you are connected to. For example, if you have two accounts for two instances of an application, the first account might use settings that are ready for immediate use. However, the second account might be configured with extra custom fields.
• To add the Create collector action to your flow, you must have an existing survey in SurveyMonkey so that App Connect can create a collector for it. You specify the name of the survey in App Connect.
• To add the Create contact action to your flow, you must have an existing contact list in SurveyMonkey for App Connect to add the contact to. You specify the name of the contact list in App Connect.
• To add the Create recipient action to your flow, you must have an existing survey and collector in SurveyMonkey. App Connect can then use the collector to send the survey to the new recipient. You specify the names of the survey and collector in App Connect.
