How does the integration between Action Network and FileDrop work in WEXTL?
WEXTL exposes actions and triggers for Action Network and FileDrop that help you connect apps and automate repetitive tasks [1]. A trigger is an event that happens, an action — a step that performs when the event has occurred.

FileDrop modules
- Approve SubmissionApproves a pending form submission, optionally attaching reviewer notes.
- Create FormCreates a file-request page with a complete field set.
- Create Form WebhookRegisters a webhook endpoint for submission events on a specific form.
- Create PDF ShareCreates a tracked PDF share from one or more public file URLs. Returns immediately with status Pending Verification while FileDrop fetches the files asynchronously.
- Create PDF Sharing WebhookCreates a webhook that notifies an endpoint when PDF sharing events occur.
- Create Secure Send MessageCreates a new Secure Send message with PIN-protected file delivery and sends or saves it as a draft.
- Create Secure Send WebhookCreates a new Secure Send webhook that notifies a URL when message events occur.
- Create User WebhookRegisters a user-level webhook that fires for submission events across all forms in the account.

- Export Form SubmissionsExports all submissions for a file request form as a binary CSV or JSON file.
- Get FormRetrieves a single file request form by its UUID.

- Get Secure Send MessageRetrieves a Secure Send message by ID, including its upload status, share URL, and attached files.
- Get SubmissionRetrieves a single form submission by its UUID.
- List Form SubmissionsReturns a paginated list of submissions for a file request form.
- List Form WebhooksReturns all webhooks configured for a specific file request form.
- List FormsLists file-request pages for the connected FileDrop account.
- List PDF Sharing WebhooksReturns a list of webhooks registered for PDF sharing events on the account.
- List Secure Send MessagesSearches and returns a paginated list of Secure Send messages for the connected account.
- List Secure Send WebhooksReturns all Secure Send webhooks registered on the connected account.
- List User WebhooksReturns all user-level webhooks that apply across all forms in the account.
- Make an API CallPerforms an arbitrary authorized API request to the FileDrop API.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about connecting Action Network and FileDrop.
Connect your Action Network and FileDrop accounts once, pick a trigger in one app and an action in the other, then map the fields so data flows automatically between them. [3]
Example: when FileDrop's "Watch Events" fires, WEXTL can "Create Attendance" in Action Network. Action Network has 25 actions (including Create Attendance, Create Event, and Create Outreach); FileDrop has 31 actions (including Approve Submission, Create Form, and Create Form Webhook). Add filters and transforms between steps when you need them. [1]
Yes — the integration works in both directions. Use each app's triggers to start a workflow and the other app's actions to update it. [2]
No. Action Network-to-FileDrop automations are built visually on the canvas. You can optionally add custom JavaScript with Functions when you need advanced logic. [4]
Yes. Trigger-based automations start the moment Action Network (or FileDrop) fires a new event — webhook-backed apps run within seconds, and polling-only apps re-check on a schedule you control. [7]
A first automation typically takes 5–10 minutes: connect each app's credential once, drop a trigger + action onto the canvas, map the fields, and turn the workflow on.
You can build your Action Network + FileDrop automation on a 3-day trial with every feature unlocked. Cancel anytime. For your protection, a small deposit is charged to your card when your trial starts. It counts toward your first payment and is non-refundable. [8]
