A Form Automation Trigger is a command to run a workflow automatically whenever you receive a new submission from a Sheetgo Form, making sure your data collected is always up to date.

This feature only works with Sheetgo Forms connected to the workflow you want to set the trigger on.

How to set up a Form Automation Trigger


In this example, whenever a restaurant places an order, we want the spreadsheet holding all the orders to transfer the data to a new spreadsheet that creates a purchase order to restock that particular item.

chrome_4uyvVeFGvB
  • First, on your workflow select Automate on the bottom left corner

    ShareX_WYIsBfxmNB
  • Second, select the toggle “Run automatically” to enable Automation Triggers

  • Select the “On a form submission” option in the “Trigger Options” dropdown menu

    chrome_MlEqOQiQV0
  • Select the form that will trigger the workflow run. You can only select Sheetgo Forms that are available on the workflow you are working one.

    chrome_Bh6gpT7UTj
  • Click on Save

Now whenever the restaurant submits a new order, that information will get sent and start to run the workflow, transferring the data from one spreadsheet to another automatically!
