Why Use Zapier for Workflow Automation?

Steps to Integrate Forms with Zapier

Follow these simple steps to connect your forms to Zapier:

  • Choose a form plugin that supports Zapier integration. Popular options include Gravity Forms, WPForms, and Ninja Forms.
  • Create a new Zap in Zapier. Log in to your Zapier account and click on "Make a Zap."
  • Select your trigger app. Search for your form plugin or use the Webhooks by Zapier app if your plugin supports webhook integration.
  • Configure the trigger. Follow prompts to connect your form and specify the trigger event, such as form submission.
  • Set up the action app. Choose the app where you want to send your form data, like Mailchimp, Google Sheets, or Slack.
  • Map form fields to action fields. Match form inputs to the corresponding fields in the action app.
  • Test and activate your Zap. Run a test submission to ensure everything works correctly, then turn on your Zap.
