Lookup Filter

While integrating your form with the Deals module in Bigin, you can associate an existing contact with a deal using the Lookup Filter option. The Lookup Filter finds a contact and associates it with the deal in Bigin based on your criteria.

  2. In the pop-up, define your Criteria. You can only include unique or mandatory Bigin fields while defining your criteria. The following fields can be used to define your criteria:
  1. Single Line
  2. Email
  3. Phone
  4. Single Select
  5. Long Number
  6. Number
  7. Date
  1. To add more than one criteria, click the   icon.

  2. If you define more than one criteria, you can choose to perform a desired action when any one condition is met or when all the conditions are met by selecting OR/AND

    Configure lookup filter
  3. After defining the criteria, you can select an action based on the results under Perform the action:
    • If only one record  matches: If only one record in Bigin matches the Search Criteria, the lookup field will be associated with that record. 
    • If  more than one records match: When multiple records in Bigin match the Search Criteria, you can choose to:
      • Associate the lookup field with the first matched record based on the record ID.
      • Log an error without adding a new record to Bigin.
      • Not fill the lookup field.
    • If  none of the records match: When none of the records in Bigin match the Search Criteria, you can choose to:
      • Log an error without adding a new record in Bigin.
      • Not fill the lookup field.
      • Create a new record: Upon choosing this action, 
        1. A pop up to map the Bigin fields to the respective Zoho Forms fields will be shown. 
        2. Once the fields are mapped, you can select the actions to be triggered in Bigin.
        3. Click Done. The new record created will be associated with the lookup field.
  1. Click Done.
  2. To make any changes to the configuration in the lookup filter, click View/Edit Lookup Configuration.

Trigger Actions in Bigin

While pushing form data to Bigin, you can also choose to trigger certain actions.

Trigger Actions in Bigin

Workflow: This option triggers Workflow Rules configured in Bigin while pushing data from Zoho Forms. 

Attachment: This option pushes attachments associated with each form entry to Bigin.The following attachments can be pushed from Zoho Forms to Bigin:

  • Signatures
  • File upload/ Image Upload field attachments
  • PDF of form submissions 
  • You can choose to push the Default TemplateCustom Template(s)PDFs sent in form submission workflows, and PDFs sent in approval process as attachments to Bigin.

    • If you choose PDFs in form submission workflows, the PDF template sent to the respondent after submitting the form (for example, the PDF downloaded from the Thank You page, or any PDF sent via email notification) will be pushed to Bigin as an attachment. 

    • If you choose PDFs in approval process, the PDF template sent to the respondent along with the Final Approval Email will be pushed to Bigin as an attachment.

Upsert Record: The Upsert Record option lets you update existing records in Bigin with new values. Upon selecting this option, if a record with the identical value exists in Bigin, it will be updated with the new values. If not, a new record will be created in Bigin. You can arrange fields in the order in which upsert should happen. 

Bigin- Upsert Record

Here's how upsert works:

For example, you arrange an Email field before a Company field. When a form is submitted with the Company as Zylker  and Email as  rebecca@zylker.com,

  1. First, it's checked if the email rebecca@zylker.com exists in Bigin. If it does, then the mapped fields get updated to the record associated with that email address.
  2. In case the email address rebecca@zylker.com does not exist in Bigin, it's checked if the company Zylker exists. If it does, then the mapped fields get updated to the record associated with that company name.
  3. If none of the field values exists, then a new record with all the mapped details is created in Bigin.
  4. You can also choose to overwrite existing values in Bigin with empty field values from Zoho Forms or exclude empty values while upserting a record.
  5. Click Done to save your preferences. 
Note: Only the fields that are configured with 'do not allow duplicates values' in the respective module of your Bigin will be displayed in the Upsert Record option in Zoho Forms.

Tag Records:  This option lets you add a tag to the records that are pushed to Bigin. You can create a new tag or use values from a form submission to tag records. You can also enter existing tag names created in Bigin and the records will be associated with that tag. 

Note: If the record is updated, the new tag will also be applied to the record.

Approval: This option pushes form entries to your Bigin approval list instead of adding them to your module. You can manually approve these records in Bigin to add them to a module and discard the spam entries. 

Set Alert on Integration Failure

Once your integration settings are saved, you can choose to receive an email alert if the integration fails.
To do so,
  1. Click Set Alert in the top-right corner.
  2. Configure the email alert template and click Save.

    Set Alert on Integration Failure

Note:

  • The option to set an email alert on integration failure is available only in our paid plans.
  • You can send email alerts to a maximum of 5 users within your organization.
  • An email alert will be triggered only on the first occurrence of integration failure every 24 hours.
