Is it possible to have information from another form (we have a really complicated pledge form running somewhere else) send data from some of its fields to populate a Connections member entry, using API or Web Hooks?

Yes, a Web Hook API would be very cool and is on my to do list. But before that I want to add a JSON RESTful API for the Web Hook API to use… any way that is more long term goals… more immediately, if the form you’re using has a hook that fires after processing the the submission and it passes the submitted values; you could hook into that and call the method to add an entry in Connections. Use this method:

cnEntry_Action::add( $data );

That $data variable would be the data from the form but formatted for a Connections insert.

$data is just one array that is passed to this method. You should be able to glean the right format from inspecting the code. That method is calling methods in this class if you need more detail.

Hope that helps, let me know.
