1.1 Workflow description

Title
Automate JotForm submissions to Google Sheets
Workflow name
Automate JotForm submissions to Google Sheets

This workflow is a simple example showing how to fetch submissions from JotForm using its API and then use that data in another service — in this case, Google Sheets.

It demonstrates the basics of:

  • Connecting to an API

  • Parsing the response

  • Looping through results

  • Sending processed data to another app

How It Works

  1. Manual Trigger Starts the workflow manually. (Can be replaced with a schedule or webhook trigger for automation.)

  2. HTTP Request – Get Submissions from JotForm Fetches all submissions for a specific form from the JotForm API.

  3. Code Node – Parse API Response Converts the API’s JSON response into individual submission items.

  4. Split In Batches – Loop Through Each Submission Processes submissions one at a time to avoid hitting API rate limits.

  5. Wait Node Adds a short delay before sending data to the next API.

  6. Google Sheets – Append Submission Data Sends the selected fields from each JotForm submission into a Google Sheet:

Adaptations

You can modify this workflow to:

Send JotForm results to CRM systems like HubSpot or Pipedrive

Trigger email or Slack notifications for each new submission

Store submissions in a database for reporting and analytics

4. Reproducing the Workflow from Scratch

  1. 1. Download the workflow JSON

    Use the JSON export at /data/workflows/7263/7263.json as the source template for this automation.

  2. 2. Import the template into n8n

    Open n8n, import the downloaded JSON, and review each node before activating the workflow.

  3. 3. Configure credentials and variables

    Replace placeholder credentials, API keys, webhook URLs, account IDs, and environment-specific values with your own settings.

  4. 4. Test with sample data

    Run the workflow manually or in a staging workspace, inspect node output, and confirm downstream systems receive the expected data.

  5. 5. Activate and monitor

    Enable the workflow only after testing, then monitor executions, errors, and rate limits during the first production runs.

5. General Notes & Resources

Review imported nodes carefully before activation. This catalog entry is intended to help you inspect the workflow structure, understand required services, and find related templates faster.

Node names, credentials, schedules, webhook paths, and external service limits may need adjustment for your workspace.
