Workflow Guide: Add Form Answers to Contact Notes

You may want the form submissions that you receive to automatically populate customer information into the notes section of your customer contacts. This article will show you how to do just that.

Note: This article assumes that you have already set up custom forms for your contacts to fill out. To learn how to set up custom forms and surveys, see the article, “How To Customize a Form Or Survey”

To automatically add Form Submission data to your contacts’ notes, follow these steps:

Step 1: Begin a new Workflow Automation

Step 2: Setting up the Workflow Trigger

• Under Workflow Triggers, select “Form Submitted”

• Under Filters, select “Form is” in the left box, then, select the name of the form that you want to pull data from by using the drop-down menu in the right box.
