From the trigger app menu, select Jotform

Pull in sample form responses from your chosen Jotform form to verify that the trigger is working correctly

Click “Continue” to move forward in the setup after successfully testing the trigger and preparing to Sync Jotform Responses

Step 3: Add your Google Sheets action

In the action step, choose the app Google Sheets

Select Google Sheets as the app that will receive the data from your Jotform submissions

Set the event to “Create Spreadsheet Row”

Choose “Create Spreadsheet Row” as the action so each new Jotform submission adds a row to your selected Google Sheet

Click the + Add to button to begin mapping fields. Use the dropdown menus in the Row Data section to assign form responses to columns in your Google Sheets worksheet. You can add as many fields as needed to match your structure. When you’re done, click Continue.

Here are a few helpful mapping tips:

Use the full name field or combine first and last name for the Name column
Select the correct value for Email from the data dropdown
Match your Phone field to the phone number column
For Address, combine Line 1, a line break, City, State, and Zip for a complete value
Assign the Date of Birth field to its corresponding column

(Note: the field options in your dropdown menus will reflect your specific Jotform and spreadsheet setup.)

Step 5: Test and activate your automation

Use Test Action to send a preview row to your Google Sheet

Check that you get a successful response, then click Continue

Click Continue after the test succeeds to complete setup and prepare to Sync Jotform Responses

Head to your spreadsheet and confirm that all data landed in the correct spots

Check your Google Sheet to verify that the sample data from Jotform was successfully added as a new row
