How to Trigger an Automation from a Form Submission

Connect a MONDAi form submission to a workflow so the right sequence fires automatically when someone fills in your form.


Tip

Before You Start

Build both the form and the workflow before connecting them. The trigger in your workflow needs to reference the specific form by name.

A form submission without a connected automation is a missed moment. Someone fills in your opt-in, your application, or your discovery call request. The automation decides what happens next — confirmation, tagging, nurture, notification.

Steps

  1. Open the workflow builder

    Navigate to Automation → Workflows. Click New Workflow.

  2. Set the trigger

    In the trigger section, select Form Submitted. From the dropdown, select the specific form this workflow should respond to.

  3. Add your first action

    Common first actions: Send Email (confirmation), Add Tag (based on which form they filled), Create Task (notify yourself to follow up), Send SMS (immediate acknowledgement).

  4. Add wait steps between follow-ups

    If you have a multi-step sequence, add a Wait step between each message: send confirmation immediately, wait 1 day, send nurture email, wait 3 days, send follow-up.

  5. Test with a real submission

    Activate the workflow in test mode. Submit the form with your own email. Walk through every step. Confirm emails arrive, tags apply, and tasks are created.

Common mistakes
  • Triggering on any form instead of the specific one. If you use the generic Form Submitted trigger without specifying which form, every form submission fires this workflow.
  • No confirmation email in the sequence. The first automation after a form submission should always confirm receipt.
  • Not testing before activating. A workflow with a misconfigured email step can send wrong messages to real contacts.
