Frequently Asked Questions about Cognito Forms + SQL Server integrations

New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with Cognito Forms and SQL Server

Can I automatically populate my SQL Server database with entries from Cognito Forms?

Yes, we can help you set up workflows that trigger whenever a new form entry is submitted on Cognito Forms. These triggers can be connected to actions in SQL Server, such as inserting new records into the desired tables.

How can I update my SQL Server database when a form entry is updated in Cognito Forms?

You can set a trigger for entry updates in Cognito Forms. Once triggered, an action will execute in your SQL Server to update the relevant records with the latest information from the form entry.

Is it possible to delete a record in SQL Server based on a form submission from Cognito Forms?

Yes, we support workflows where a specific action, like deleting a record from SQL Server, can be triggered based on form submissions or specific field values within Cognito Forms.

Can I use conditional logic when integrating Cognito Forms with SQL Server?

Absolutely! We allow you to configure workflows that include conditional logic. This means actions in your SQL Server can only execute if certain conditions are met within your Cognito Forms submissions.

What happens if my SQL Server action fails after being triggered by a Cognito Form submission?

If an action fails after being triggered by a form submission, we log the error and provide troubleshooting tips. You can also configure retries or notifications for immediate resolution.

How do I manage data types between Cognito Forms and SQL Server to ensure compatibility?

We help map fields between Cognito Forms and your SQL Server, ensuring data type compatibility and format adherence using transformations or custom scripts as needed.

Can changes made directly in the SQL Server reflect back into my forms on Cognito Forms?

Currently, our typical integration setup supports one-way data flow from Cognito Forms to SQL Server. However, you could implement additional APIs or custom solutions for syncing updates back to forms where needed.
