Connect form workflows with narrow API surfaces

KinoForms gives developers scoped API-key surfaces for embedded and programmatic form workflows while keeping form access and submission access distinct.

Integrations should not need broad product access

External systems often need a narrow job: read a form, write a form, read submissions, or submit data programmatically.

API scopes that match form and submission work

KinoForms separates API key surfaces so integrations can map to the task instead of sharing one broad account credential.

forms:read for retrieving form configuration
forms:write for form-management integrations
submissions:read for response review integrations
submissions:write for programmatic submission flows

Use cases

Embed a published form in another interface
Sync submitted records to an internal system
Create submission flows from a known workspace
Separate form management from response review

Workflow steps

Choose the integration job Decide whether the integration needs form access, submission access, or both.
Assign the narrow scope Use the form and submission read/write scopes that match the job.
Keep review context intact Connect systems without removing the submission from its owning form and workspace.

Concrete examples

Submission export integration

An integration can read submitted responses without changing form-builder configuration.

Embedded form workflow

A programmatic surface can read form configuration and submit responses for a known workspace.

Write-only intake handoff

A partner workflow can create submissions through a write scope while internal reviewers keep read and edit access inside KinoForms.
