Reforestation as a Service(RaaS) is an Application Programming Interface(API) that integrates with websites and applications. It facilitates the interaction between enterprises and reforestation organizations. By automating the donation process with trusted reforestation partners, it enables enterprises to plant trees and track their reforestation efforts.
1- Choose a reforestation project: You can choose a project from worldwide reforestation organizations list to plant trees (We have chosen “TIST”).
You can find the list of reforestation organizations from all over the world in this document Here.
2- Add Integration or Code to your project: Use integration or add a few lines of code in your website or mobile app to call the API requesting the planting of trees.You can add this on the actions of user in your website or app of your choice(Subscribe to online billing, buying an specific products/services, purchasing from app, etc.)
3- User makes an Action: When a user makes an action on your website or apps(buying, purchasing,subscribing, etc.) a request to plant trees will be made to a trusted organization.
4- Trees are planted: That’s it! You will be billed by the trusted reforestation organization of your choice at a cost of ($1 USD per tree). You will receive an invoice monthly and a report( That specifies how many trees are planted on your behalf).
You can find more information here.

(C) Email- User’s email for the request body of the DigitalHumani and TIST API
(D) Number of Trees wants to plant- treeCount for the request body of the DigitalHumani API
Submitting the Google Form will trigger the Zapier’s Flow that hits DigitalHumani and TIST API.

You can create a zap in Zapier using a trigger “New Form Response” comes from Google Form. It will fetch “treeCount” and “User’s email” from the Form Response for the request body of the API.(“enterpriseId” and “projectId” remain static by default).

Tree Planting API :
Certificate Generation API :
You can get the TIST API (Provided by the TIST Reforestation Organization support) that sends Tree Plant Certificates to the user's email and organization’s email(Your organization Email)
{ "Name":- " user name from the Form Response", "User_email":- "user’s email from the Form Response where user will receives certificate", "Company_email":- "Email of your organization where you also receives a copy of the user’s certificate", "Date":- "Date can also be fetched from the Form Response in DD-MM-YYYY", "Tree":- "treeCount from the Form Response", }
You can use Zapier to fetch the attached certificate file from the email and save it in a database as well.
TIST API will send certificates to end users as an appreciation.
