How it works

Zapier integrates with 6000+ apps including Google Sheets, Airtable, Mailchimp, Notion, Salesforce, Teamleader, Folk, and many more. This makes Zapier a popular tool for automating workflows between otherwise incompatible apps.
Users can set up multi-step Zaps that automatically trigger a sequence of actions after one initial trigger event, such as a new Tally form submission.

1. Connect to Zapier

Here's how to get started with syncing your Tally form responses to other apps using Zapier.
First, create a Zapier account (for free) if you don't already have one. Then, go to the Integrations tab of your published Tally form to connect it to Zapier.

You’ll be prompted to log into your Zapier account.

2. Build your own Zap or use a template

You can either create your automation from scratch or head to the Tally integration page on Zapier to explore ready-made templates and different integrations you can set up.

3. Create a trigger

If you’re building your own Zap from scratch, click the + Create button in your sidebar, then select Zaps.

A Zap is made up of a trigger and an action. A trigger is an event that starts a Zap; for Tally, the trigger event is a new form submission.

Next, click the Continue with selected record button.
 

4. Choose an action

Now, you’ll have to add an action — an event a Zap performs after it's triggered, like notifying your team in Slack, sending a follow-up email, or adding a new record to your Airtable base.
Choose the action app you want to connect with and connect your account. If you already have an account connected to Zapier for the action app, select it from the account menu.

From the Event dropdown, choose the action you want Zapier to perform. For example, we want Zapier to create a new Google Drive folder anytime a respondent fills in a project intake form, like this free template.

In the Account section, you’ll be prompted to log in to the app you selected and authorize Zapier to connect with it.

5. Customize action

Next, customize the data that you want to send over to your action app. In this step, you'll see dropdown menus and/or form fields to fill in.
In this example, we will select where in Google Drive we want Zapier to create a folder and which form data we want to use as the folder name. Click Continue when you’re ready.

Zapier’s free plan is limited to two-step Zaps. If you want to add multiple steps, you’ll have to upgrade to a paid plan.

6. Test the action

The final step is to see if your action works as expected. In the Test section, click Test step to run the action step.
The next screen will show you whether or not Zapier has been able to successfully perform the action step for you.

Once you’ve set up your Zap action, you can add another action or finish setting up the Zap by clicking Publish. New form submissions will now get synced with your chosen action app.
