KoBoToolbox
KoboToolbox humanitarian data collection
KoBoToolbox is the open-source data-collection platform built for humanitarian field work — used by NGOs, UN agencies, academic researchers, and emergency responders for offline-capable mobile data collection in low-connectivity environments. Tiny Command surfaces one trigger (Form Submitted — fires when a KoBoToolbox submission lands, including from field-collected submissions synced from offline devices) plus two actions (List Forms; Get Submissions — paginated history for a specific form, useful for backfills). The connection takes the KoBoToolbox instance URL (kf.kobotoolbox.org for the public install, or a self-hosted instance URL) plus an API token from the user account settings. The Form Submitted payload includes the form's answers keyed by question name (kf.kobotoolbox.org uses XLSForm conventions for question naming). Most workflows: a field-collected health-survey submission triggers a workflow that flags incomplete data, geo-validates the GPS coordinate, and pushes the clean data to a downstream database (often PostgreSQL or an Airtable-like analytics layer).
Workflows start when KoBoToolbox does.
1 real-time trigger, each backed by a webhook subscription. Events arrive within seconds and you don't have to set up polling.
Do anything KoBoToolbox can do, from a workflow.
Every action accepts dynamic inputs from upstream nodes, whether that's an AI output, a form field, or a search result.
| Action | What it does |
|---|---|
| Get KoBoToolbox Submissions | Paginated historical submissions for a specific form. For backfill workflows or for "weekly export to warehouse" data-pipeline patterns. |
| List KoBoToolbox Forms | Returns deployed forms in the account. Useful for resolving form IDs at workflow setup. |

Three things worth knowing.
Tiny Command counts a run the moment a trigger fires. Filtering early means only matching events spend your usage budget.
Connect KoBoToolbox once and every workflow on your account can use its triggers and actions. You don't have to re-auth per workflow.
Every KoBoToolbox field shows up in the visual picker for downstream nodes. The raw payload is there for power users, optional for everyone else.
