How to connect automations with contact forms.

Updated over a month ago

Set your automations to activate automatically when a contact form inquiry comes in. You can even set different automations to activate based on which project type is assigned to the contact form inquiry.

  • For example: You could set a Corporate Event project type inquiry to activate your Corporate Event Onboarding automation, while a Birthday Party project type might trigger an entirely different automation

This means tailored responses for your clients, and less work for you.

📣 Note

This article references automations, available for Essentials and Premium plan members. Learn more about the features included in each plan here.

  1. Head to your Automations page

  2. Find the automation you’d like to assign in the list

  3. Locate the Automate via Contact Form drop-down

  4. From here, either:

    1. Select Default for contact form

      1. This will make the automation the default for contact form inquiries

    2. Or, choose which project type(s), as selected in or assigned to your contact forms, will activate this automation

      1. Assigning specific project types to an automation will override the Default for contact form option for inquiries with those specific project types

      2. You'll need to make sure the chosen project type(s) are connected to your contact form in one of two ways:

        1. Create a contact form that includes a suggested project type question for your client to answer on their end, and mark that question as required

        2. Or, assign a default project type to an entire contact form, so that any inquiry coming in through that form will automatically be assigned that particular project type

Now, the appropriate automations will activate for the relevant contact form inquiries.
