# JotForm forms

Distro can route a JotForm submission from an accessible form or same-origin iframe. It waits for the iframe to load, checks JotForm validation, and preserves JotForm's native submission handling.

## Check your embed

The parent page must be able to access the iframe's form and JotForm API. The iframe must share the parent's origin (scheme, hostname, and port); a sandbox must also permit that access.

A standard cross-origin `jotform.com` iframe cannot be read by this adapter. Use a JotForm form hosted on your own origin with the JotForm scripts available, or an integration in your application that calls Distro after validation. Merely adding an ID to a cross-origin iframe does not make it accessible.

## Connect and install

1. Create a [form mapping](/routing-forms/overview.md) using the actual field names. Map email and the answers used by your rules.
2. Select it under **Form Submission → Connected form** in the router.
3. Configure, test, and activate the router.
4. Open **Install Router** and choose **JotForm**.

Add the snippet to the parent page. Replace the router ID and iframe selector:

```html
<script src="https://app.distro.so/inbound.js"></script>
<script>
  window.distro = new Distro({
    routerId: "YOUR_ROUTER_ID",
    formType: "jotForm"
  });
  distro.schedule("#jotform-iframe");
</script>
```

For a form directly on the page, pass that form's CSS selector instead. Both `jotForm` and `jotform` are accepted. Distro calls `JotForm.validateAll(form)` and routes only when it returns `true`.

## Verify

Test invalid answers first: validation should prevent routing. Then submit valid qualified and unqualified answers. Confirm JotForm's normal destination still works, and inspect the expected values in Distro's **Routing Logs**.

If the form cannot be accessed, Distro emits `FORM_UNAVAILABLE` through the browser's `distro:event` event. Check the iframe's origin, sandbox, selector, and JotForm script before retrying.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://help.distro.so/routing-forms/jotform.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
