In this article, you will learn how to integrate your MTARGET account with Google Forms via Zapier. This way, when you use Google Forms, all the response data you receive will be integrated directly into your MTARGET account. This integration works to capture contacts from Google Forms, using Zapier as a third party.
Before you start, make sure you have set up your Google Forms. Once complete, you can follow the steps below to integrate your MTARGET account with Zapier to capture data from Google Forms:
Setting Up the Integration
Open your Zapier account, then click 'My Apps' and search for mtarget.co in the search bar.
Next, you will be asked to enter your API Token. Open your MTARGET account, then go to the Integration menu. The API Token will be displayed there. Copy it and paste it into the field on the Zapier page. Then click 'Yes, Continue'.
To ensure that the integration was successful, you can click the 'Test' button. If a 'Success' notification appears, the integration of your MTARGET account with Zapier has been successful.
Return to the 'My Apps' page on Zapier. Search for 'Google Forms' in the search bar. You will be prompted to log into your Google account.
Setting Up the Trigger
Here you have successfully integrated Google Forms with your MTARGET account. Next, you will set up the trigger.
Set up your Google Form.
Select the form you want to connect.
Ensure your form includes the following fields:
Email
First name
Label These fields are required to save the data in your MTARGET account.
Make sure your form is connected to a spreadsheet. Here's how to connect it:
Select the response tab.
Then select the spreadsheet.
Choose an existing spreadsheet or create a new one.
Now go back to your Zapier account. Click the 'Zaps' menu, then click the 'Create a Zap' button.
Here you will start defining the flow for integration. First, select 'Google Forms'.
In 'Choose Trigger Event', select 'New response in spreadsheet'. Then click 'Continue'.
In 'Choose Account', select your integrated Google account. Then click 'Continue'.
In 'Customize Response', choose the spreadsheet file you have set up. Then select the Worksheet from your spreadsheet.
After entering the data above, a page will appear to test whether the data is being captured correctly.
Try opening the Google Form you linked earlier, fill out the form, then click Test Trigger. If the data displayed matches what you previously entered, Google has successfully connected to Zapier.
Defining the Action
Go back to the 'My Apps' menu and select 'MTARGET'.
In 'Choose Action Event', select 'Save Contact' and then click continue.
Select your MTARGET account, then click 'Continue'.
Then customize the Contact.
Here you can map which fields will be filled with the email, first name, and label.
A sample data that will be sent to MTARGET contact will be displayed. Select 'Test & Continue'.
If you have completed all the steps, click Done Editing.
Review the flow you have set up. If you are satisfied that the integration flow is correct, click the switch in the upper right to 'Turn On Zap'.
You have successfully integrated your MTARGET account with Google Forms through Zapier. From now on, all data will be synchronized. You can try filling out the form and then checking it in your MTARGET Contact Book.
