Documentation for Form action types

We are looking more closely at form action types and we're finding little to no documentation on these.  For example, we want to quickly create a Campaign newsletter subscription form without coding.  This should be action type = Create Lead.  The action attributes requires a manual id be entered I assume.  This should be populated by a list of lead lists at minimum.  No documentation exists to tell us how to setup the fields in the form.  If there is docs, can someone point us to them.  If not, can we get a config for Create Lists actions on this?

Thanks for the prompt reply Steve, but does it requires valid XDP as a data model mandatorily applied to the adaptive form to use Email PDF /Store PDF submit action?

Also, how we can validate a XDP? Does a valid XDP shows the XDP fields available with the binding reference in the content finder to drag and drop those fields in the adaptive forms.

Thanks for the reply Steve, but using this email PDF submit action is possible only with a valid XDP applied as a data model to the adaptive form?

Please correct me if I am wrong.

Following the documentation:

1)  Use the email PDF submit action

2) Use the ${<field name>} notation to specify form fields for items such as email address to send to

Can somebody please elaborate on ::"Configuring the Email PDF action submit action"? I have a requirement to generate a PDF containing the filled form values in it and emailing that PDF.

The below mentioned link doesn't provide the sufficient configuration information:

No, that is not what I meant. There are a bunch of OOTB actions with no documentation. Building custom actions is reasonably documented as you point out.

If https://helpx.adobe.com/aem-forms/6/configuring-submit-actions.html  is not enough, we are happy to answer your queries. Also if you want some specifics w.r.t  to any/all submit actions,  we can go ahead documenting the same.

Let's start with Create Lead.  We are trying to create subscriptions form for the email newsletters we run in CQ.  If there is as better way then we can start with that.

I have a couple of things to ask - 

Did you go and read the links provided in the configuring submit actions article which have details about what each submit action does 

https://helpx.adobe.com/aem-forms/6/submit-store-data-crx-repository.html  ---> Store content and PDF related actions 

https://helpx.adobe.com/aem-forms/6/form-submission-receipt-via-email.html ---> email submit action

https://helpx.adobe.com/aem-forms/6/submit-form-data-livecycle-process.html ---> Submit to LC workflow

https://helpx.adobe.com/aem-forms/6/aem-workflows-submit-process-form.html --> Submit to AEM workflow 

 

I am not sure that what is it that you are specifically asking for?

Do you quickly want a method to extract out emailId from the submission payload ?

I"m assuming Create Lead allows a publisher to quickly add a form to add a lead to a list.  So, this requires form field setup.  What fields and what property names, etc.  There is no guide for this.  Assume this is s marketing person creating a form.  How do they setup the form to work properly?
