Award Force
FormsConnect AI agents to Award Force, a platform for running awards, grants, scholarships, and competitions. Agents register entrants and entries, create categories and chapters, assign judges, and read the rounds, score sets, and leaderboards judging produces.
What This Integration Enables
Award Force runs awards, grants, scholarships and competitions, and the thing an awards program actually sells is the credibility of its result. That shapes what belongs in a flow and what does not. Agents work the intake and administration side freely: entries are listed with filtering by title, category, chapter, season, entrant, status and payment or review state, read in full with their translated field values and attachments, created on behalf of an entrant, updated across category, chapter, title, status and moderation status, tagged, untagged and deleted. Users covering entrants, judges, managers and administrators are listed, read by slug or email, created, updated, deleted and restored. Categories, chapters and seasons give the program its structure, and categories and chapters are created and updated from a flow. Orders carry the payment side with billing details, discounts and line items, and Update Order writes back to them. Attachments resolve to file tokens, and review tasks expose the moderation workflow items with their reviewer, decision and stage.
Two boundaries matter, and both are load-bearing. First, judging is readable but not writable. List Score Sets, Get Score Set and Get Leaderboard return the judging configuration and the ranked results with per criterion aggregation, and List Rounds and Get Round return the rounds with their chapters and dates, but no action in this connector writes a score, revokes a score, or moves an entry into a round. Judges score in Award Force. What a flow does is assign the work with Create Assignment, remove it with Delete Assignment, and read the outcome. Second, this connector has no triggers. The webhook actions here manage Award Force's own outgoing subscriptions across 27 documented event types, pointing at a target URL and HTTP method you choose, with an optional signing key. They are useful for administering those subscriptions from a flow, and they do not create a FlowRunner trigger and do not make FlowRunner the recipient. Flows against Award Force run on a schedule, using List Entries and List Review Tasks with their filters to find what changed.

Use Case Scenarios
Eligibility Sweep on an Open Season
Through an open season, the agent runs List Entries filtered to submitted status and reads each one with Get Entry to pull the field values and the attachment list. It checks the declared category against the entry's own answers, confirms the required supporting files are present, and confirms the entrant holds a matching user record with Get User. Clean entries are tagged and their moderation status recorded with Update Entry. Anything that fails a check reaches the awards manager with the specific rule it failed, rather than being found by a judge halfway through a round.
Judge Panel Preparation
Before a round opens, the agent reads List Score Sets and List Rounds to establish which score set covers which entries, then lists the judges with List Users and the existing pairings with List Assignments. It cross references each proposed judge against the entrants and organisations on the entries in scope and assembles a conflict report. Where the panel is clean, Create Assignment pairs entries to judges across the rounds. Where it is not, the pairing waits. Panel setup that used to be a spreadsheet reconciliation becomes a reviewed list.
Season Reporting and Order Reconciliation
After judging closes, the agent reads Get Leaderboard for each score set with its per criterion breakdown, joins the ranked results against List Entries for category and chapter context, and pulls List Orders to reconcile entry fees against submissions. The result lands in a reporting view built with Google Sheets or Airtable, and the shortlist goes to the committee channel in Slack. The committee sees ranks, criteria and payment state in one place instead of three exports.
Human-in-Loop Highlight
Award Force is the rare system where the record of a decision is more valuable than the decision itself, and Delete Assignment is where that becomes concrete. An assignment links judges to entries within a score set for one or more rounds, and the assignment record carries the judging comments made under it. Deleting the assignment removes the pairing and the work attached to it, and this connector cannot put it back: there is no action here that writes a score, restores a comment, or recreates a completed judging pass. The asymmetry is visible in the action list itself. Delete User has a matching Restore User. Delete Assignment and Delete Entry have nothing. So when a conflict of interest surfaces mid-round, or a panel is being rebalanced, the agent gathers the evidence and stops. It posts the assignment slug, the judges and entries it covers, the score set and rounds, whether the leaderboard already shows scores against those entries, and asks the awards manager: "Judge M. Ndlovu is assigned to 6 entries in Sustainability, and 4 of those already show scores on the Round 2 leaderboard. Their firm appears as a named partner on entry SUS-2291. Delete the assignment for that entry only, delete all 6 and reassign the category, or leave the panel and record the declaration?" A person answers, and their answer is the one on the record. Everything upstream of that, the eligibility sweep, the tagging, the reporting, runs without asking.
Agent Capabilities
44 actionsEntries
7- List Entries Lists entries (submissions) in the account with optional filtering by title, category, chapter, season, entrant, status and payment/review state. Results are paginated (Laravel-style) with current_page, per_page and total metadata. Use the slug of a returned entry with other entry actions.
- Get Entry Retrieves a single entry by its slug, including entrant details, category, chapter, entry field values (with translated values) and any attachments. Use List Entries to discover entry slugs.
- Create Entry Creates a new entry in a category on behalf of an entrant. Category, entrant, season and title are required. Field values are passed as an object keyed by field slug. Requires a write-scoped API key.
- Update Entry Updates an existing entry identified by slug. Any subset of category, chapter, title, status, moderation status or entry field values can be supplied. Requires a write-scoped API key.
- Delete Entry Deletes an entry by slug. Requires a write-scoped API key. There is no restore action for entries, so this is routed for sign-off.
