Here's how you can use Zapier to automate this for you:
- Set a trigger: When the trigger happens, it starts a Zap. These triggers could be when a new lead fills out a form on your website or when you star or label a certain email.
- Create the action: This is the action that you want the Zap to perform after it's triggered. This could be sending that form data to a spreadsheet row. A single Zap can perform one or more actions.
Here are some zaps you can create:
-Add new Facebook leads to Google sheets
- Push the submitted application details to rows in Google Sheets
- Log submitted application details to your company's portal

4. At this point, you will finish filling out the email details, including the email subject line and body copy. You can pull information from the form, like the person's name and other details to further personalize the email.
