It is possible to use the ESRI ArcGIS API calls from your custom HTML form.  In order to do this, the Forms inMotion server will need to get a valid ESRI token on your behalf.  In order to do this, you must configure 2 settings with your ESRI API credentials.  Information on how to set up those credentials can be found ESRI ArcGIS Online Token Request:

  • esriclientid
  • esriclientsecret


Whenever the form makes a request for a token from Forms inMotion, the Forms inMotion server will check if the current token is still valid.  If the token is valid, the token will be returned to the form, if the token is not valid, the Forms inMotion server will contact ESRI with the specified esriclientid and esriclientsecret and retrieve a new valid token and return this to the form.
