Trigger Actions in Zoho CRM while adding a new record

While pushing form data to Zoho CRM, you can choose to trigger certain actions in Zoho CRM.
Trigger Actions in Zoho CRM

Automation & Process Management

This option triggers your Workflow Rules, Blueprint, CommandCenter, Approval Processes, and Review Processes configured in Zoho CRM while pushing form entries.

Attachment & Signature

This option pushes attachments associated with each form entry to the selected Zoho CRM module. The following attachments can be pushed from Zoho Forms to Zoho CRM:
  • Signatures

  • File upload/ Image Upload field attachments

  • Merged documents (only the documents sent via email notifications can be pushed to Zoho CRM)

  • PDF of form submissions 

    You can choose to push the Default Template, Custom Template(s), PDFs sent in form submission workflows, and PDFs sent in approval process as attachments to Zoho CRM.

    • 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 Zoho CRM 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 Zoho CRM as an attachment.
      Attachments pushed to Zoho CRM

Notes
Note: If you have configured to store your file attachments in Zoho WorkDrive using Manage Form Attachments, only the attachment link from Zoho WorkDrive will be pushed to the Zoho CRM module.

Approval

This option pushes form entries to an approval list of the selected module in Zoho CRM instead of adding them to the module directly. You can manually approve these records in Zoho CRM to add them to a module or discard the spam entries. 

Capture GCLID (Google Click ID)

This option determines the information regarding the Google Adwords advertisement that brought a Lead/Contact to your website. Capturing GCLID is necessary to obtain the Google Ads information right inside your Zoho CRM account. 
  1. Select Capture GCLID under Actions.
  2. Copy the Tracking code from the pop-up and paste it in all the web pages of your website, right before the </body> tag.
     The GCLID is passed to Zoho CRM along with the pushed form data. 
The tracking code keeps a record of the GCLID even if the visitor navigates to other pages before filling up your form.

Upsert Record

This option lets you update existing records in Zoho CRM with new values. Upon selecting this option, if a record with identical value exists in Zoho CRM, it will be updated with the new values. If not, a new record will be created in Zoho CRM. You can arrange fields in the order of preference for upsertion. 

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 is checked if the email rebecca@zylker.com exists in Zoho CRM. 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 Zoho CRM,  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 Zoho CRM.
  4. You can also choose to overwrite existing values in Zoho CRM with empty field values from Zoho Forms or exclude empty values while upserting a record under Upsert Preferences.
  5. Click Done to save your preferences.
Notes

Note: Only the fields that are configured with 'do not allow duplicates values' in the respective module of your Zoho CRM will be displayed in the Upsert Record option in Zoho Forms.

Assignment Rules

This option triggers the Assignment Rules configured in Zoho CRM when form entries are pushed to a Zoho CRM module. 
To do this,
  1. You must first configure assignment rules for the selected module in Zoho CRM under Setup > Automation > Assignment Rules .
  2. All the assignment rules configured in Zoho CRM for the selected module will be displayed when you select Assignment Rules action while configuring the integration.
  3. Select an Assignment Rule to be triggered with each form entry. 

Tag Records

This option lets you add a Tag name to the records that are pushed to Zoho CRM from Zoho Forms. You can create a new tag by selecting Add Input Manually or use form responses to tag records. You can also enter existing tag names created in Zoho CRM to associate pushed records with that tag. 
You can choose if the new tag should overwrite the existing tags of a record or append to the existing ones while updating the record.

  2. Configure the email alert template as shown and click Save. Configure Email Alert on integration failure
