CRM Integrations for Online Forms

Formsite CRM integrations

Connect online forms to thousands of other services using Formsite’s Zapier integration. One type of service with many options is the category for Customer Relationship Management, or CRM for short.

CRM services organize customer records for use with sales and marketing primarily. Examples include tracking lead generation campaigns or keeping in touch using an email drip campaign. CRM systems can also track customer orders and serve as a relationship history, too.

Features of CRM Systems

  • Create or Update Contact
  • Add Company
  • Create Task or Ticket
  • Add to Campaign
  • Enter Score, Tag, or Note

Form owners can send form results to a connected system after receiving the result. Formsite has a built-in integration with Salesforce, one of the most popular CRM services available.

The Zapier integration lets form owners connect to other systems and specify what data to use to create contacts, companies, or campaigns.
