Set up your “Add Form Data and Upload Form to Smartsheet” Workflow recipe

With this recipe, you can add transmitted Form data to your connected Smartsheet - along with the Form PDF.

Updated over 7 months ago

Automatically add data transmitted from Forms to your connected Smartsheet along with a PDF copy of your Form with the Add Form Data and Upload Form to Smartsheet Workflow recipe.

🗒️ Note: This Workflow does not look for a unique identifier to map new data to existing data. If you want to map to existing data, use the Upsert to Smartsheet Using a Completed Form recipe.

Before you set up this Workflow, you’ll need to connect Smartsheet. The connection you choose determines your options in the configuration details of this Workflow.

🗒️ Note: Smartsheet Workflows are only available to Enterprise-tier accounts.

In the Workflows tab of the GoFormz web app click Create to access the Workflow Recipes Library. Select the Add Form Data to Your Smartsheet recipe card to navigate to the Workflow Editor where you’ll complete the following steps.

  1. Click the pencil icon.

    ​

  2. Establish your Form Completed trigger by configuring your Completed By & Template details.

  3. Establish your Add Row to Sheet action.
    ​
    This requires that you configure your Connection, Destination Sheet, and Sheet Column Mapping.

    2. Destination Sheet specifies the path to the Smartsheet sheet you want your action to reference.
      ​

    3. In Sheet Column Mapping you’ll provide the Sheet Column Name to which you want your data to be mapped. Enter the New Cell Value to determine the data which will populate your corresponding Sheet Column Name.
      ​
      Your New Cell Value can be a specific alphanumeric value, or you can use Workflow variables to populate the value with a specific field from your Template.
      ​

  4. Establish your Export Form to PDF action by configuring your Form ID and Pages details.
