The power of Formidable Forms + Zapier
Think your website forms are limited to basic data collection?
Formidable Forms and Zapier will change that! Together, they unlock a whole new world of automation and integration, making your website work smarter and saving you money.
Here's how connecting your forms to Zapier can streamline your workflows:
- Streamline follow-ups: Instantly send form entries to your CRM or email marketing tool.
- Eliminate tedious tasks: Automatically create tasks, spreadsheets, or documents based on specific form answers.
- Customize user experiences: Trigger different actions based on the user's information. Want to offer tailored support based on their needs? You can!
Formidable Forms allows you to collect specific data using various form fields. Then, you can use that data to power amazing Zapier workflows.
But it gets even better here: Formidable Forms helps you stretch your Zapier budget! Since their pricing is based on tasks, every automation counts. Our advanced features, like conditional logic and built-in integrations (Mailchimp, ManyChat, etc.), let you do more in Formidable.
And that reduces the number of external Zaps you need.
This powerful pairing of Formidable Forms and Zapier saves you time, boosts efficiency, and maximizes your investment in both tools.
Solving problems with Formidable + Zapier workflows
So, we've talked a lot about how Formidable and Zapier can help you.
But that's all talk unless we show you some real examples of how this can benefit you. Here's how:
- Instant lead notifications: Never miss a potential customer. Get a Slack message, email, or even an SMS whenever someone submits a form on your site. This ensures a faster response time and can improve lead conversion.
- Automated CRM updates: Add new leads to your CRM (Salesforce, HubSpot, etc.) instantly, eliminating manual data entry. This reduces errors and keeps your customer data up-to-date.
- Personalized follow-up: Based on the information the user provides in the form, send different follow-up emails. For example, offer a special discount to people who indicate they're interested in a specific product. This helps you build stronger relationships with potential customers.
- Spreadsheet tools: Automatically track form entries in Google Sheets for analysis and reporting.

How to integrate Zapier with WordPress forms
Setting up a link between Zapier and your WordPress forms is surprisingly simple.
As we mentioned, Formidable Forms is the best WordPress form plugin you can find. And when you add Zapier to it, you can do more than you can imagine with your forms.
And there’s no need for technical experience or know-how. Everything can be set up by simply activating our Zapier WordPress add-on. By the way, there's even more information on our Zapier help doc page here to guide you.
But it's just a couple of steps to get up and running:
Step 1: Install and activate Formidable Forms
Install and activate your Formidable Forms Business license on your website if you haven't already.
After confirming your license, go to Formidable → Add-Ons in your WordPress dashboard and click Install on the Zapier WordPress plugin.
Perfect. Now, it's time to head to your Zapier account.
Step 2: Set up Zapier API integration
First, go to your Zapier dashboard and make a Zap like normal. If you don't have an account yet, sign up for one to get started
Next, you must choose Formidable Forms as the app under the Trigger event.
Then, choose an event that triggers the Zap. This can be either a new or deleted entry, which triggers instantly.
Now, Zapier will ask you to choose an existing Formidable Forms account from the dropdown. If it's not connected yet, you can add a new account.
Next, follow the instructions in the popup window to connect your Formidable Forms account and Zapier. You need your API Key and site URL (including the https:// and trailing /). You can find your API Key under Formidable → Global Settings → API.
Last, make sure you are NOT using the default WordPress permalinks.
If unsure, go to your WordPress dashboard and go to Settings → Permalinks to check. If you try to authorize your Zap using default permalinks, you will get 404 errors in Zapier.

I Love Formidable Pro <3
This is a great ! Zapier integration with Wordpress is becoming more and more requested by my clients! Thank you so much for continuing to make Formidable such an awesome plug-in.
You guys are awesome. Thank you for all these great additions.
Fantasic Steph - What a huge step forward. Perfect time for a current project that required us to create posts on client websites and deliver the data back to our site for processing and management.. wow.
ah, zapier is a paid service.
I was so happy when I read this email with all the new features, I went straight ahead and then, damn, its paid.
I thought I already paid for Formidable... well, I guess its not all as great as it sounded (to me at least)
You can do a lot with a free account on Zapier.
Looking forward to testing this out! You guys are awesome!
I love your forms... I am always surprised when I see "best of" plugin reports that show Gravity, and Contact 7. Wish I could help get you out there more.
An excellent addition to a great plugin!
Formidable + Zapier is great combo. We use zaps all the time to integrate with our other software. Easy to set up and takes an already powerful formidable and supercharges it!
