Frequently Asked Questions
When a respondent submits a Cognito Forms form, viaSocket uses the submission as a trigger to run workflows that move data into other systems, create records, send messages, or run business logic — all without coding.
Yes. viaSocket can apply AI to read answers, classify submissions (e.g., sales lead vs. support), and route them automatically — improving speed and accuracy for triage and follow-up.
No. viaSocket provides a no-code builder and templates for common Cognito Forms automations so business teams can connect forms to CRMs, helpdesks, spreadsheets, and more without writing code.
viaSocket follows industry best practices for secure connections and data handling. Workflows transmit only the fields you map and can be configured to limit access; review your account settings and privacy policies for details.
You can create simple automations (e.g., send an email or add a row to a sheet) in minutes using a template. More complex flows with multiple actions, AI steps, or conditional routing typically take a bit longer but remain no-code.
