Integrate Timestamps Easily: Accessing Formidable Forms Data on Zapier

Integrating Formidable Forms with Zapier is a popular way to automate tasks and improve efficiency in data management. A common requirement is accessing specific form fields, such as timestamps, to trigger actions or log data. If you're looking to access the timestamp form field from Formidable Forms on Zapier, you're in the right place.

Firstly, ensure that the Formidable Forms plugin is installed and activated on your WordPress site. Create a form with a timestamp field, which is automatically added when a user submits a form. To integrate with Zapier, you'll need to create a Zap and choose Formidable Forms as the trigger app. When configuring the trigger, select the 'New Entry' option.

After connecting your Formidable Forms account and choosing the specific form you're working with, you'll reach the 'Set up Trigger' stage. This is where you can access the data from your form's fields. Zapier will fetch a sample entry from your form. Make sure that this sample contains a submission with the timestamp data.

Once Zapier has pulled in the sample, you'll see a list of the form's fields and their respective values. Look for the field that corresponds to the timestamp. It might be labeled with the name you've given the field in Formidable Forms, or it might be tagged with a generic label such as 'Created At' or 'Date Submitted.'

Select this timestamp field. Now, whenever your Zap triggers with a new entry, it will carry the timestamp data from Formidable Forms with it. You can pass this data into action steps in your Zap to other applications, like Google Sheets, CRM systems, or email marketing tools, giving you a precise log of when each form entry occurred.

Remember to test your Zap thoroughly to ensure that the timestamp data is being retrieved and used as expected. With proper setup, Zapier will handle the timestamp data from Formidable Forms seamlessly, allowing for sophisticated automation workflows that are precisely time-stamped, every time.

By integrating Formidable Forms with Zapier, you can access not just timestamp data but also a variety of other form inputs, streamlining data collection and processing tasks across various platforms. Whether you're tracking customer inquiries, managing event registrations, or simply keeping logs, automation between Formidable Forms and Zapier can save you time and reduce manual errors.
