If you need to collect information, a form is one of the easiest ways to do it. If your site runs on WordPress, Formidable Forms—a plugin that helps you create drag-and-drop forms with custom styling—is a great option for embedding them on your site.
With Formidable Forms, you and your visitors can submit and edit entries and posts from the front-end of your site. And when you have data, you can then display it with graphs and custom views.
Zapier is an automation platform that lets you connect Formidable Forms with other popular apps to automate your work and streamline tasks that take a lot of time, such as moving form data into other apps. You can automatically create new leads from form data, save attachments to your cloud storage app, and more.
Here are a few popular pre-made workflows—we call them Zap templates—to help you get the most out of Formidable Forms. To get started, just click on a template, and we'll guide you through the setup process.
Create leads, contacts, or subscribers based on form submissions
Forms can be a great way to capture new leads or potential customers. But if thousands of people visit your site every day, you may be left with a lot of submissions to sort through and add to your CRM or marketing hub app. Instead of doing it by hand, you can use a Zap to automatically create a new lead, contact, or subscriber in the correct app whenever someone fills out your Formidable Form.

If your Formidable Form is an easy way for customers or prospects to get in touch, you probably want to make sure you're responding quickly.

Save form attachments to your cloud storage app
Sometimes, you might give people the option to include a file or image when they fill out your form. These can be important to save, especially if—for example—you're using the attachments to offer better customer support or to mock up custom products. Instead of manually downloading and re-uploading them to a storage app, you can use a Zap that saves them to your favorite cloud storage tool instantly.
