About

Formspark ships in the w6w first-party pack. It declares 16 actions, 3 health checks, and the host runs its code in a sandbox that never sees the credential.

Overview

Formspark is a form backend: you point your own HTML form at a URL and it stores the submissions, emails you about them and forwards them to your other tools. This app drives Formspark’s management API, so a workflow can create and configure forms, read what has been submitted, and clean up afterwards.

It covers workspaces (list, create, rename), forms (list, read, create, update, delete, including notification emails, webhook URL, Slack channel, spam filter and challenge settings), the notification and autoresponder email templates (read, write, delete, preview), and submissions, read per form or across a whole workspace with search and cursor pagination, plus deletion of a single submission.

The management API is only available on upgraded workspaces. A free workspace can still list its workspaces and describe its token, which is how this app proves a connection is live, but every form and submission call is refused with an upgrade_required error until the workspace is upgraded.

Build with Formspark

Three routes to the same 16 actions. The Workflow tab is generated from Formspark's own manifest and carries its real ids, so it is copy-pasteable; the Code and CLI examples are the same call for any action on any app, so every app-specific value in them is a blank you fill in.

Create Form

form-create

Create a form in a workspace. The returned `id` is the form's submit-form.com endpoint id. Requires an upgraded workspace and forms:write.

Delete Form

form-delete

Delete a form. Requires forms:write on an upgraded workspace.

Get Form

form-get

Fetch a form and its settings. Requires an upgraded workspace and forms:read.

List Forms

form-list

List the forms in a workspace. Requires an upgraded workspace and forms:read.

Update Form

form-update

Change a form's settings. Only the fields you fill in change; use Clear Fields to empty a setting. Requires forms:write on an upgraded workspace.

Get Token Info

me-get

Describe the API token behind this connection: name, scopes, expiry, last use.

Delete Submission

submission-delete

Delete one submission. Spam-quarantined submissions are refused (409) and expire on their own. Requires submissions:write on an upgraded workspace.

List Form Submissions

submission-list

List a form's submissions, optionally filtered by search text. Requires submissions:read on an upgraded workspace.

Delete Email Template

template-delete

Delete a form's notification or autoresponder template.

Get Email Template

template-get

Read a form's notification or autoresponder email template.

Preview Email Template

template-preview

Render a form's stored email template as HTML and plain text. Nothing is sent or changed.

Set Email Template

template-set

Replace a form's notification or autoresponder template with HTML code. This overwrites any visual-editor layout and cannot be undone. Check `paused` in the result.

Create Workspace

workspace-create

Create a workspace. It starts on the FREE plan; upgrade it in the dashboard before using the forms API on it.

List Workspaces

workspace-list

List the workspaces this token can reach, with plan and submissions quota. Workspaces on the FREE plan cannot use the forms and submissions API.

List Workspace Submissions

workspace-submission-list

List submissions across all forms in a workspace, optionally filtered by search text. Requires submissions:read on an upgraded workspace.

Rename Workspace

workspace-update

Rename a workspace.

A workflow step names the app and the action, and the editor fills in the connection when you pick one. This is the Step shape from the workflow spec, carrying Formspark's real ids.

{
  "manifestVersion": "2",
  "name": "formspark-example",

+11 more actions available

Every app-specific value here is a blank you have to fill in. An app action is reached through the connection that authenticates it, so the address is a connection id, not the app id — and connections belong to your account, so a public page cannot know yours. Create one for Formspark, then fill in the three blanks: conn_YOUR_CONNECTION_ID, the action key, and the parameters that action declares. The call itself is real — the shape is transcribed from the studio's own snippet builder, which prints the same kind of blanks — but nothing in it is specific to Formspark. The Workflow tab is where this app's real ids are.

Install
npm install @w6w/sdk
yarn add @w6w/sdk
pnpm add @w6w/sdk
deno add npm:@w6w/sdk
Code
import { W6wClient, isActionRun } from "@w6w/sdk";

// Reads W6W_BASE_URL and W6W_TOKEN from the environment when omitted.
const client = new W6wClient();

const envelope = await client.run({
  urn: "conn_YOUR_CONNECTION_ID",
  action: "form-create",
  payload: {
    workspaceId: "<value>",
    name: "<value>",
    // description: "<value>",
    // technology: "<value>",
    // notificationEmails: "<value>",
    // emailThreading: "<value>",

    // webhookUrl: "<value>",
    // slackChannel: "<value>",
    // customHoneypot: "<value>",
    // customSpamWords: "<value>",
    // spamProtection: "<value>",
  },
});

if (isActionRun(envelope)) console.log(envelope.value);
Install the CLI
npm install -g @w6w/cli
CLI
w6w run conn_YOUR_CONNECTION_ID --action form-create --payload '{"workspaceId":"<value>","name":"<value>"}'

Give an AI agent Formspark — without giving it Formspark's credentials. One MCP endpoint exposes every app, function and workflow the caller is entitled to, as tools it can discover and run. Access is granted per team while we onboard.

One tool call
{
  "name": "w6w_invoke",
  "arguments": {
    "ref": "app:io.w6w.formspark#form-create",
    "input": {
      "workspaceId": "<workspaceId>",
      "name": "<name>"
    }
  }
}

Every tool names its target with a single ref. The app: form above doesn't name a connection at all — the host resolves which of the caller's Formspark connections to sign with, and refuses rather than guesses when the answer is ambiguous.

What the agent gets

Credentials it can't read

The token is attached host-side, at the moment of the call. It is never a tool argument, never in the model's context, and never in a transcript — so a prompt injection has nothing to exfiltrate.

A tool surface scoped to the caller

Tools are derived per end user from what that person has actually connected and is entitled to — not one shared bot identity carrying the union of everyone's access.

A durable workflow in one call

Multi-step work runs on the workflow engine and returns a run handle the agent can poll — retries, branching and state survive the conversation that started them.

Health-aware discovery

Formspark's declared health checks are on the surface too, so an agent can tell "the vendor is down" from "your credential expired" before it burns a retry on either.

The MCP surface is part of the hosted platform. Formspark itself is MIT, and the runtime that executes it is source-available (FSL).

Request MCP access

Health checks

Formspark declares its own checks, so its health is a property of the app rather than something the host guesses at.

API reachable

Unauthenticated GET https://api.formspark.io/public/v1/me. A 401 carrying Formspark's problem+json `code` passes — it proves the API and its auth layer are answering. Credential validity is the derived `auth:*` check's job.
