Formdesk

@Formdesk list all entries submitted to form 12345 in the last 7 days and show me the email addresses

Retrieved 47 entries from form 12345 (Contact Inquiry Form) submitted between Jan 15-22, 2025. Email addresses extracted: alice@example.com, bob@company.net, charlie@startup.io, and 44 others. Most recent submission was 2 hours ago from dana@tech.org. All entries include timestamps, visitor IDs, and full field data available for further analysis.

This example demonstrates read-only data retrieval from Formdesk's entry storage. Requires API key with read permissions for the target form. Response time depends on entry volume — forms with thousands of submissions may hit rate limits or require pagination. No side effects; safe for exploratory queries.

@Formdesk create a new field called 'referral_source' as a dropdown in form 12345 with options: Google, LinkedIn, Friend, Other

Successfully created field 'referral_source' (fieldId: 789) in form 12345. Field type set to dropdown with 4 options as specified. The field is now live and will appear on the form for new submissions. Existing entries are unaffected. You can reorder this field or mark it required by updating the form schema separately.

This write operation modifies the form schema immediately — the new field goes live without a staging step. Useful for iterating on form design mid-campaign, but be cautious: adding required fields to active forms can block in-progress submissions. API key must have write permissions for form configuration.

@Formdesk analyze all entries from form 12345 and tell me which referral sources are driving the most conversions this month

Referral source breakdown: LinkedIn (89 entries, 43.8%), Friend (54 entries, 26.6%), Google (41 entries, 20.2%), Other (19 entries, 9.4%). LinkedIn referrals have the highest completion rate (94% vs. 78% average). Recommendation: prioritize LinkedIn outreach for this campaign based on volume and quality signals.

This synthesis example pairs Formdesk's entry data with AI reasoning to surface insights. The MCP fetches raw entries; the AI aggregates and interprets patterns. Accuracy depends on clean field naming and consistent data entry. For large datasets (1000+ entries), consider filtering by date range to avoid timeouts.

When Formdesk beats Google Forms for recurring events

A 6-person nonprofit runs quarterly workshops and needs registration forms that change each time—adding sponsor fields one quarter, dietary restrictions the next. Formdesk's Create Field and Delete Field tools let you modify live forms without rebuilding from scratch, which matters when you're two days from launch and realize you forgot the accessibility question. The Create Multi-Page Form tool keeps long registration flows readable on mobile. The catch: if your team isn't technical enough to call these tools through Switchy, you're paying for API flexibility you won't use. This MCP makes sense when you're running 4+ events a year and at least one person can script the form updates between cycles.

Formdesk for sales teams that live in their CRM

A 3-person B2B sales team embeds lead forms on their site and wants every submission to trigger a Slack ping and a CRM record. Formdesk's Create Formdesk Entry and Create Visitor tools let Switchy write entries programmatically, so you can build a workflow that validates the lead score in your database before it even hits Formdesk. The Delete Formdesk Entry tool cleans up test submissions without logging into the vendor UI. This setup works when you're handling under 200 leads a month and need custom validation logic—above that volume, you're better off with a dedicated form-to-CRM integration that doesn't require API calls per submission. If your forms are static and you just need webhook delivery, skip this MCP.

When Formdesk's entry management pays off for support teams

A 5-person support team collects post-ticket feedback through embedded forms and wants to delete duplicate submissions or test entries without asking engineering. The Delete Formdesk Entry and Delete Form tools give non-technical teammates cleanup power through Switchy's natural language interface. The Automatic Login tool means you're not passing credentials around Slack when someone needs to audit form responses. This MCP is overkill if you're collecting under 50 responses a week—most form tools have adequate admin UIs at that scale. It starts making sense when you're running 10+ active feedback forms and your support lead is spending an hour a week on form hygiene. If your feedback flow is read-only and you never modify forms post-launch, the tool count here is wasted.
