Trigger Actions in Zoho Vertical while adding a new record

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

Automation & Process Management

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

Attachment & Signature

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

  • File upload/ Image Upload field attachments

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

  • 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 Zoho Vertical.

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

Note: If you have configured your file attachments to be stored using Manage Form Attachments, in one of the supported external storage services, only the attachment link from the configured service will be pushed to the Zoho Vertical module. Supported external storage services are Zoho WorkDriveGoogle DriveDropboxOneDrive, and Box.

Approval

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

Upsert Record

This option lets you update existing records in Zoho Vertical with new values. Upon selecting this option, if a record with identical value exists in Zoho Vertical, it will be updated with the new values. If not, a new record will be created in Zoho Vertical. 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 Vertical. 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 Vertical,  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 Vertical.
  4. You can also choose to overwrite existing values in Zoho Vertical 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.

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

Assignment Rules

This option triggers the Assignment Rules configured in Zoho Vertical when form entries are pushed to a Zoho Vertical module. 
To do this,
  1. You must first configure assignment rules for the selected module in Zoho Vertical under Setup Automation Assignment Rules .
  2. All the assignment rules configured in Zoho Vertical 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. 
    Assignment Rules

This option lets you add a Tag name to the records that are pushed to Zoho Vertical 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 Vertical to associate pushed records with that tag. 

Tag Records

This option lets you add a Tag name to the records that are pushed to Zoho Vertical 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 Vertical 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.
Tag Records

To do so,

  1. Click Set Alert in the top-right corner.
  2. Configure the email alert template as shown and click Save
    Configure Email Alert on integration failure
