Description

Creates a new TransForm form definition in the account associated with the API key. You can either supply a complete form definition, or just the form definition commands. The form definition commands define the fields on the form. The complete form definition includes the form definition commands, and also defines meta data for the form such as icon, text color, etc. To see an example of the JSON for a complete form definition use the GetFormDefinitionForFormId method.

TIP: You can automatically generate form commands from sample JSON data using the CreateFormCommandsFromSampleJSON method.
