When a new form submission is received in Fluent Forms, get template in DynaPictures
Each new Fluent Forms submission makes FlowMattic fetch the details of one DynaPictures image template. The step only reads the template; nothing uses those details until you add a step after it.

What this workflow does
This is a starting point, not a finished image pipeline. It links a Fluent Forms submission to a read of one template in DynaPictures, and stops there. Import it if you want the form trigger and the DynaPictures connection already in place while you build the rest.
When a visitor submits a form, the trigger passes every answer to the workflow. The DynaPictures step then runs Get Template, which retrieves the details of a single image template by its ID. It reads that template and changes nothing in your DynaPictures account. It does not create an image either.
As imported, the template details go nowhere. No later step reads them, so each run ends after the fetch, and Task History simply records what DynaPictures returned. To make the workflow useful, add a step after Get Template that uses the result, for example a Google Sheets row that logs the template details next to the form answers, or an email to your designer.
Groundwork for a form-driven image flow
You plan to turn Fluent Forms entries into personalised graphics. Import this to get the trigger and DynaPictures account linked, then add the steps that act on the template data.
Checking what a template returns
Submit a test entry and open Task History to see the template details DynaPictures sends back, before you decide which of them a later step should map.
Logging template details beside each entry
Add a Google Sheets step after Get Template so every Fluent Forms submission gets a row that holds both the answers and the template information that was fetched.
How this workflow runs
What happens at each step once the workflow is on, and what you need before you import it.
Fluent Forms New Form SubmissionRuns each time someone submits a Fluent Forms form on your WordPress site. The answers from that submission are passed on, ready to map in any step you add later.
- DynaPictures Get Template
Retrieves the details of one DynaPictures image template by its ID. It only reads the template: nothing is changed in DynaPictures and no image is made. No step uses the returned details until you add one.
What you need
- FlowMatticCore
- Fluent Forms PluginPlugin
- DynaPictures AccountAccount
After importing, map your own data. To keep the template universal, not every step is pre-filled. Open each step in the builder and connect your accounts and fields (channels, lists, sheets, recipients) before you switch the workflow on.
Make it yours
Changes worth making after you import it.
- Add a step after Get Template that does something with its output, such as Add New Row in Google Sheets or an email, otherwise each run ends with the fetched data unused.
- Run one test submission after import, then open Task History to check that DynaPictures returned the template you expected before you map its details anywhere.
- Add a Filter straight after the Fluent Forms trigger if only one of your forms, or one answer, should cause the template lookup.
Questions about this workflow
Does this workflow create an image in DynaPictures?
No. Get Template only retrieves the details of a template. The DynaPictures actions FlowMattic lists cover templates and workspaces, so to produce an image you need a step outside this template.
What happens to the template details DynaPictures returns?
Nothing, as imported. They show in Task History for each run, but no later step reads them. Add a step after Get Template and map the details into it.
Does the DynaPictures template change when a Fluent Forms entry arrives?
No. The step is read-only. Your template stays exactly as it is, however many submissions come in.
Do I need a DynaPictures account for this Fluent Forms workflow?
Yes. The Get Template step runs through your DynaPictures account, which you connect when you import. Fluent Forms must be active on the same WordPress site as FlowMattic.
