# How to add leads from Typeform to Salesforce

Automate your lead management by connecting the tools you use.

If you're capturing leads through a form, you want to make sure that all that information makes it into your Customer Relationship Management (CRM) tool. If you make a mistake with the data entry—or worse, forget to upload your lead information—you're missing out on potential customers. 

When you automate your lead collection process with Zapier, you don't have to worry about human errors. Our automatic workflows—we call them Zaps—allow you to send information from one app to another, so you don't have to worry about manually uploading CSV files. 

Here's how to automatically create Salesforce leads from Typeform responses. 

## Add new Typeform form entries to Salesforce 

Zapier lets you create automated workflows called Zaps, which send your information from one app to another. You can create your own Zap from scratch without any coding knowledge, but we also offer quick templates to get you started. 

If you'd like to start with a template, click on the Zap template below, and you'll be taken to the Zapier editor. You'll need to create a Zapier account if you don't already have one. Then, follow the directions below to set up your Zap.

### Set up your Typeform trigger

First, set up your trigger—the event that starts your Zap. Select **Typeform** for your trigger app and **New Entry** for your trigger event. 

If you haven't already, you'll be asked to connect your Typeform account. Click on **Choose an account…** and either select an account from the dropdown menu (if you've connected Typeform to Zapier before) or click **+ Connect** a new account. 

Click **Continue**. 

Next, select which form you want to collect contacts from. Click the dropdown menu to see the forms available in your connected Typeform account. 

Now, you need to test your trigger. Zapier will find a recently completed result from the form you selected. This will be used to set up the rest of your Zap.

If you don't have any completed form results, create a sample result by filling out the form yourself, then test your Zap.

Click **Test trigger**. Once you see that your trigger is working correctly, click **Continue**.

### Set up your Salesforce action

Now let's set up the action—the event your Zap will perform once it's triggered. Select **Salesforce** as your action app and **Create Lead** as your action event. Click **Continue**. 

Then, if you haven't already, you'll be asked to connect your Salesforce account to Zapier. Click on **Choose an account…** and either select an account from the dropdown menu (if you've connected Salesforce to Zapier before) or click **+ Connect a new account** then click **Continue**. 

Now you need to tell your Zap how to set up the Salesforce lead. You can pull in data from your Typeform responses by clicking inside any empty field where you want the data to go and selecting an option from the_ Insert Data_ dropdown menu. This includes your lead's personal information, like first name, last name, email address, etc.

Once you've finished customizing these fields, click **Continue**. 

Now it's time to test your action. When you click **Test & Review** or **Test & Continue**, Zapier will create a record in Salesforce according to how you customized the fields. 

It's a good idea to test your Zap so you can check if your Salesforce record looks okay. If you'd rather skip the test, just click **Skip Test** in the bottom-right corner. 

If your test looks good, your Zap is now ready to use. If something looks off, go back and tweak things until you get it just right.

## Automate your lead creation

Manually adding leads to your CRM tool is a frustration, time-consuming, and error-prone process. But, with the help of this Zap, you won't have to worry about adding your leads from Typeform to Salesforce ever again.
