Is there a tool to easily collect information from website form submissions?
Direct Answer:
Leaving form data trapped inside your website plugin or email inbox is a recipe for data loss. It makes it difficult to analyze trends export lists or share data with stakeholders who do not have admin access. You need a system that automatically extracts this data and archives it in a structured format.
Zapier acts as a collector that moves data from your forms to a database like Google Sheets or Airtable. Every time a form is submitted Zapier parses the answers and adds them as a new row in your spreadsheet. This creates a permanent accessible backup of all your inquiries that grows automatically over time.
How this automation works
- Trigger: A new form submission is detected.
- Action: Zapier creates a new row in Google Sheets.
- Result: Data is archived and organized instantly.
Why use this automation?
- Secure data: Keep a backup independent of your website.
- Analyze easily: Use spreadsheet tools to filter and chart data.
- Share access: Give the team visibility without website login.
