Are you looking for a way to overcome your forms? With Gravity Forms and Make.com, you can easily integrate severity forms with thousands of other applications, such as Google Sheets.
In this article, we will discuss Make.com and some of the ways you can use it with severity forms. Then we will show you how you can use both together to send your form inputs to Google Sheets.
What is Make.com?
You may already know Zapier and how you can use it to connect your web forms to Podio, Zendesk, Google Drive and other popular services with it.
Make.com is very similar, in that it allows you to join applications and web services via trigger workflows. For example, when someone submits a form on your website, you can use Make.com to automatically send the data to a spreadsheet, to a CRM or elsewhere. Everything happens automatically, by reducing manual work and saving time in the process.
All this is possible thanks to APIs (application programming interfaces). APIs are software interfaces that act as bridges, allowing different programs to communicate and interact with each other. A bit like the way USB ports allow devices to connect.
While developers have used APIs for a long time, the cool thing about Make.com is that you can accomplish the same thing without any coding skills. You can configure even complex interactions with your computer mouse in a visual interface.
Whether you want to combine only two applications or several in sequence, Make.com allows you to do everything. In addition, you can configure instructions and conditional filters to process your data exactly how you need it. You can also run your ad hoc automation or on an automated calendar.
Finally, make.com has a free plan, so you can try it before buying it.
Why use severity forms with make.com?
In addition to its ease of use, its powerful capacities and its convenience, the main draw of Make.com is its large library of possible components. The Make.com library has more than 2,000 applications, including many names that you have probably heard before.
The examples include LinkedIn, Excel, Hubspot, Mailchimp, Gmail, Chatgpt, Claude, Canva, Google Docs and, of course, gravity forms. The result: almost endless possibilities of automating how your data is processed.
Presentation of modules
In Make.com, the components you use to determine what is going on in your automations are called modules. There are three different types:
- Trigger – This is what initiates automation. When a specific event occurs, it defines the moving workflow. In the form of gravity, the only trigger is a formal submission.
- Action – The result that occurs when a trigger is activated.
- Research – An intermediate step that you can use to find a special recording or data item before processing them. For example, you can use it to check if a user profile already exists before saving it again.
While Make.com has only one type of trigger for severity forms, there are several research and action modules that can be used. In addition to sending your form data to applications, it also allows you to do things, such as the signaling of gravity forms to delete an input after transmission.
User cases examples
To give you a better impression of what all this means, here are some practical ways to use Make.com with severity forms:
- Send notifications to Slack, Telegram, Whatsapp, Facebook Messenger, Discord and other messaging services when you receive a form submission.
- Send SMS confirmation to customers who use your support form.
- Create an article in WordPress from information submitted via a form on your website.
- Pre-formular A response to an incoming contact request via chatgpt before sending it to your CRM.
- Create an invoice in QuickBooks when someone uses your payment form.
- Compile the results of an employee engagement survey and other questionnaires in Excel.
- Automatically save people who use a webarial registration form for a zoom meeting.
- Send entries in a job request form to your HR system
- Create an event in Google or Microsoft Calendar depending on a contact form submission.
- Create a new task in Trello or Asana when a form is subject.
- Save the form inputs in Google Sheets for a more in-depth analysis (this is what we will do below).
