Connect Kiwiform to Zapier

Zapier allows you to automatically send form responses from Kiwiform to thousands of apps. By connecting your form to Zapier, you can trigger workflows in other tools whenever someone submits a response. Kiwiform, a free Typeform alternative, integrates with Zapier to help you automate processes without writing code.

What Is Zapier?

Zapier is an automation platform that connects different apps using automated workflows called Zaps.

Each Zap consists of:

  • A Trigger – an event that starts the workflow

  • One or more Actions – tasks performed in other apps

In Kiwiform, the trigger event is:

  • New Form Submission

When someone submits your form, Zapier receives the response data and performs the actions you configure.


When Should You Use Zapier?

Zapier is useful when you want to:

  • Send leads to a CRM automatically

  • Add subscribers to an email list

  • Create tasks in project management tools

  • Send data to Google Sheets

  • Notify your team in Slack

  • Create support tickets

  • Sync data between multiple tools

If you need advanced backend control, consider using Webhooks instead. Zapier is ideal for no-code automation.
