Connect Web Forms to 5,000+ Apps - Zapier Integration

Integration Overview

Zapier connects apps through automated workflows called Zaps. The FormBold integration makes each form submission the trigger for a Zap.

It uses the Catch Hook trigger from Webhooks by Zapier. Zapier gives you a URL, you paste it into FormBold, and every submission is sent to that URL.

Use Zapier to reach apps FormBold does not connect to directly, or to run several steps from one submission, such as adding a lead to a CRM and creating a task at the same time.

Webhooks by Zapier requires a paid Zapier plan.

How It Works

1. A visitor submits your form.
2. FormBold runs its spam checks and allowed-domain rules.
3. If the submission passes, FormBold saves it and sends it to your Zapier webhook URL.
4. Zapier runs the actions in your Zap.

If Zapier does not accept a delivery, FormBold retries it automatically. Email notifications and other integrations keep running.
