KoBoToolbox is the world's leading open-source platform for humanitarian data collection — used by the UN, NGOs, and research teams to build offline-capable mobile surveys and manage millions of submissions from the most remote locations on earth. Connect it to Actionist and your agents can deploy forms, validate submissions, manage media attachments, and export datasets automatically — so your M&E team spends its time on analysis, not on manual data wrangling.

Survey response to resolved case in 60 seconds

When a beneficiary complaint lands in Gmail, the agent reads the linked KoBoToolbox submission for that household, marks the record On Hold pending review, posts the flagged details to the #support Slack channel, and books a supervisor callback slot in Google Calendar — all before the operations lead has finished reading the original email. Every complaint gets triage in under a minute, with zero manual copy-paste between systems.

اتصال

چطور KoBoToolbox را به Actionist وصل کنید

روش اتصالی را انتخاب کنید که با محیط کاری شما سازگار است.

The fastest path to KoBoToolbox. Install the MCP server from the Apps tab and the agent reaches your forms, submissions, and webhooks through a permissioned token handshake — no credential management required.

1
Open the Apps tab

Find KoBoToolbox in the Apps library and click Connect. MCP is selected by default.

2
Choose your KoBoToolbox server

Select your server region — Global (kf.kobotoolbox.org) or EU (eu.kobotoolbox.org) — and paste your KoBoToolbox API token when prompted. The token lives in your KoBoToolbox account settings under Security.

3
Test the connection

Actionist runs a read-only call to verify the handshake. You're ready.

پرسش‌ها

پرسش‌ها درباره KoBoToolbox + Actionist

How do I connect KoBoToolbox to Actionist?
Open the Apps tab, find KoBoToolbox, and click Connect. MCP is the recommended path — enter your API token and choose your server region (Global: kf.kobotoolbox.org, EU: eu.kobotoolbox.org). The agent runs a read-only verification call and you're live within two minutes. If you prefer a direct API token connection, paste the token from KoBoToolbox Account Settings → Security and add your API Root URL.
Does the agent need special permissions to read and update submissions?
The API token grants access scoped to your account's own assets and projects. To read or update submissions on assets owned by another user or organisation, the asset must be shared with your account first. Use the Viewer role for read-only access and the Editor or higher role if the agent will update validation statuses or redeploy forms.
Can the agent work across both the Global and EU KoBoToolbox servers?
Yes, but each server requires a separate connection with its own API Root URL and token. Create two KoBoToolbox connections in Actionist — one pointing to kf.kobotoolbox.org and one to eu.kobotoolbox.org — and reference the correct connection in each workflow. The agent will never mix data between the two servers.
How does the agent handle offline submissions that sync later?
KoBoToolbox queues offline submissions on the enumerator's device and syncs them when connectivity is restored. Actionist's webhook triggers fire as each batch syncs, so the agent processes them in the order they arrive. For time-sensitive workflows, set a submission-received trigger rather than polling on a schedule — you'll get sub-minute latency once the device reconnects.
How do I avoid accidentally validating the same submission twice?
Before updating a submission's validation status, use Get Validation Status to read the current state. Build a conditional in your workflow: if the status is already Approved, skip the write step. KoBoToolbox's API will accept duplicate status updates, so the guard must live in the Actionist workflow logic — the platform won't error, but your audit log will show the duplicate if you don't filter.
What happens to webhook deliveries if my downstream endpoint goes down?
KoBoToolbox retains failed webhook delivery attempts in the hook log. When your endpoint recovers, use the Retry All action to re-dispatch every failed event in one call, or Retry One for a specific submission. Check the Logs action first to see the exact HTTP status codes — a 4xx error means the payload was rejected (check your endpoint schema), while a 5xx or timeout means the server was unavailable.
Can the agent export data in formats other than CSV?
Yes. The Export submissions action supports XLS, CSV, and SPSS output formats. Specify the format in the action parameters. For large datasets, XLS exports may take a few seconds to generate on the KoBoToolbox side — build in a short wait step before attempting to download the file URL returned by the export call.
How do I keep my KoBoToolbox API token secure within Actionist?
Actionist stores your API token encrypted at rest and never exposes it in logs or workflow outputs. To rotate a compromised token, generate a new one in KoBoToolbox Account Settings → Security, update the credential in Actionist's connection settings, and test the connection before deleting the old token. All existing workflows using that connection will automatically use the new token after the update.
