❓ What Problem Does It Solve?

Manual exporting or copying of leads and newsletter signups from web forms to spreadsheets is time-consuming, error-prone, and delays follow-ups or marketing activities. Traditional workflows can lose data due to mistakes or lack of automation. The Fluentform Export workflow automates the capture and organization of form submissions and newsletter signups into Google Sheets

💡 Why Use this workflow?

  • Save Time: Automate tedious manual data entry for form leads and newsletter signups
  • Avoid Data Loss: Ensure all submissions are reliably logged with real-time updates
  • Organized Data: Separate sheets for newsletter and contact form data maintain clarity
  • Easy Integration: Works seamlessly with Fluentform submissions and Google Sheets
  • Flexible & Scalable: Quickly adapt to changes in form structure or spreadsheet columns

⚡ Who Is This For?

  • Marketers & Growth Teams: Automatically gather leads and newsletter contacts to fuel campaigns
  • Small to Medium Businesses: Reduce overhead from manual data management and errors
  • Customer Support Teams: Keep track of form submissions in a centralized, accessible place
  • Website Admins: Simplify data workflow from Fluentform plugins without coding

🔧 What This Workflow Does

  • ⏱ Trigger: Listens for incoming POST requests from Fluentform via webhook
  • 📎 Step 2: Evaluates if the submission is a newsletter signup or a form based on a specific token
  • 🔄 Step 3 (Newsletter Path): Maps email from newsletter submissions and appends/updates Google Sheets "News Letter" tab
  • 🔄 Step 3 (Form Path): Extracts full name, email, phone, subject, and message fields and appends/updates the Google Sheets "form" tab
  • 💌 Step 4: Sends a JSON success response back to Fluentform confirming receipt

  4. Update spreadsheet IDs and sheet names used in the Google Sheets nodes to match your own Sheets
  5. Test workflow thoroughly with actual Fluentform submissions to verify data flows correctly
