# Automate Form Submissions with Zapier

> Connect formcarry to 5,000+ apps via Zapier and trigger automated workflows on every new form submission. Set up your first Zap using your API key.

formcarry integrates with Zapier, letting you trigger automated workflows (Zaps) when your form receives a new submission. You can connect to thousands of apps without writing any code (CRMs, spreadsheets, email platforms, and more).

## Prerequisites

Before you set up your Zap, you must have the following:

* A formcarry account with at least one form.
* At least one submission on the form you want to connect (Zapier needs data to test with).
* A Zapier account.

## Connecting formcarry to Zapier

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create a new Zap.">
    Log in to Zapier and click **Create Zap**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select formcarry as the Trigger app.">
    In the Zap editor, search for **formcarry** and select it as the Trigger app.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose the trigger event.">
    Choose **New Submission** as the trigger event. This fires the Zap every time your form receives a new submission.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect your formcarry account">
    Click **Connect** to link your formcarry account. Zapier will ask for your API key.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Copy your API key">
    Open the formcarry dashboard and navigate to [Integrations](https://app.formcarry.com/integrations). Copy your API key from that page.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Paste your API key into Zapier">
    Paste the API key into the Zapier connection dialog and confirm the connection.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select your form and test the trigger">
    Select the form you want to trigger on, then click **Test Trigger**. Zapier loads your most recent submission as sample data.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add an Action and turn on your Zap">
    Add an Action (e.g. add a row to Google Sheets or send a Slack message), configure it with the sample data fields, then turn on your Zap.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Warning>
  Without sample data, Zapier returns an error when it tests a trigger. Submit at least one test entry on your form before testing.
</Warning>

<Tip>
  You can route different form submissions to different actions using Zapier **Filters** or **Paths**. For example, send high-priority inquiries to Slack while routing everything else to a spreadsheet.
