The Drive sync writes to one Sheet per form. Use Zapier or Make to fan out a single submission into two Sheets (add a second Google Sheets action in the same Zap or scenario).

On Zapier and Make, you need to re-open the Zap or scenario and remap the renamed field.

Use Squarespace's native Drive sync (Method 1), Make (Method 3), a direct webhook tool like Sheet Monkey (Method 4), or skip Squarespace forms and use Formester's native Sheets integration (Method 5). None of those four require a Zapier account. Embedding a Google Form in Squarespace instead?

But the truth is, you don’t need them to build a complete, automated workflow for capturing and qualifying leads.\n\nIn this guide, I’ll show you **how to create an end-to-end intake process** without relying on those tools. By the end, you’ll know how to:\n\n- Capture leads with a smart intake form\n\n- Qualify them into categories like cold, warm, and hot\n\n- Automate lead nurturing with personalized emails\n\nAnd the best part? You’ll do it all in the simplest and most cost-effective way using Formester.\n\n## How to Create an Intake Process in Formester?\n\n### Step 1: Build an Intake Form\n![a screenshot of formester ai form builder](https:\u002F\u002Fformester-strapi.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\u002Fa_screenshot_of_formester_ai_form_builder_79554ac18b.png)\n\nYour intake form is the very first touchpoint with potential clients. A well-designed form helps you collect all the important details upfront, so you don’t waste hours chasing information later.\n\nWith Formester, creating an intake form takes just seconds thanks to its **[AI-powered form builder](\u002Fai-form-generator\u002F)**. Here’s how:\n\n- Click New Form.\n\n- Select Create with AI.\n\n- Describe the intake form you need. For example: “Create an intake form for my software development company.”\n\n- If you want specific questions, include them, then click Generate.\n\n- The AI will instantly create a ready-to-use intake form.\n\n**A sample form might include:**\n\n- Page 1: Project type and required features\n\n- Page 2: Contact details (email, company name, website)\n\n- Page 3: Budget and timeline estimates\n\nWant more? Add extra questions from the Add Elements tab, or even include a **[Scheduling field](\u002Ffeatures\u002Fappointment-scheduler)** so prospects can book appointments directly.\n\nOnce your fields are set, head to the Design tab to add your logo, customize fonts, and match your brand style. Publish the form and embed it on your website—it’s that easy.\n\n### Step 2: Qualify Your Leads\n![a screenshot of formester's results tab](https:\u002F\u002Fformester-strapi.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\u002Fa_screenshot_of_formester_s_results_tab_86cc7af2d5.png)\n\nThe next step is lead qualification. Normally, people use Airtable or other tools to do this manually. But with Formester, you can handle it all in one place.\n\nGo to the Results tab, and you’ll see all submissions neatly organized in a table. Open any submission to view it in detail.\n\n**From there:**\n\n- Click the three dots above and add a new column, e.g., Lead Type.\n\n- For each submission, click the three dots → Edit Columns.\n\n- Assign a type based on the answers.\n\n**For example:**\n\n- Cold Lead: Low budget, vague project details.\n\n- Warm Lead: Mid-range budget, clear interest.\n\n- Hot Lead: High budget and specific project type.\n\nThis way, you can prioritize who to contact first. You can also filter by lead type, export the list as CSV, or push leads to a database like Notion.\n\n**Notion** works as a free, flexible CRM. Plus, you can invite unlimited team members with different levels of access—similar to Google Sheets.\n\n### Step 3: Automate Follow-Up Emails\n\n![a screenshot of formester's ai email autoresponder](https:\u002F\u002Fformester-strapi.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\u002Fa_screenshot_of_formester_s_ai_email_autoresponder_f6f3c8ee6e.png)\n\nIf you don’t want to review and qualify leads manually, you can automate the follow-up process with Formester’s **[Conditional Autoresponder](\u002Ffeatures\u002Fautoresponder-email\u002F)**.\n\nHere’s how:\n\n- Go to Automate → New Autoresponder.\n\n- Name it (for example, Hot Lead).\n\n- Use AI to generate a personalized email subject and body tailored to the lead type.\n\nExample prompt:\n“Write a professional yet friendly email for a hot lead who filled out our intake form. Highlight their interest, mention the budget, and invite them to book a call.”\n\nMake sure you set the email field as the recipient address. Then, connect your **SMTP integration** so emails are sent from your own account.\n\n- Finally, head to Advanced → Rules to set up conditions. For example:\n\n- Project type = Web Application\n\n- Budget > $50,000\n\nWhen these conditions are met, the autoresponder will send your personalized follow-up automatically.\n\n### Step 4: Test the Workflow\n![a screenshot of formester intake form](https:\u002F\u002Fformester-strapi.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\u002Fa_screenshot_of_formester_intake_form_9f09a839bb.png)\n\nBefore you go live, test everything. Submit the form as if you were a prospect. \n\nOnce submitted, check your inbox. You should see a personalized follow-up email that matches the details you entered.\n\nThis test ensures your conditions, autoresponder, and SMTP setup are working correctly.\n\n### Why Use Formester for Your Intake Process?\n\nWith **[Formester](\u002F)**, you can manage your entire intake process in one place:\n\n- Capture details with AI-powered forms\n\n- Qualify leads directly in the dashboard\n\n- Automate follow-ups with personalized emails\n\nAll of this happens without relying on multiple expensive tools like Airtable or Zapier. You save money, keep your workflow simple, and scale your intake process with ease.\n\nIf you want to try Formester, check out our **[pricing page](\u002Fpricing\u002F)** and see how much you can save.\n","blog\u002Fblog\u002Fhow-to-create-an-intake-process.md",{"text":28},{"title":106,"author":53,"authorImage":8,"authorProfile":54,"coverImg":107,"coverImgAlt":108,"createdAt":109,"description":110,"featured":14,"jsonld":111,"keywords":112,"metaDescription":113,"metaImage":114,"metaTitle":115,"publishedAt":116,"slug":117,"updatedAt":118,"__hash__":119,"body":120,"id":121,"coverImgWidth":25,"coverImgHeight":26,"readingStats":122},"How to Pre-Fill Forms with External Data Using APIs","https:\u002F\u002Fformester-strapi.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\u002FHow_to_Make_User_Research_Survey_12_dbbb32dc2c.png","a blog post cover about how to pre fill forms with external data using apis","2025-06-27T04:12:08.334Z","Easily pre-populate form fields with external data using API.

No retyping their name, email, or phone number.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Cp>There are two ways to do it: pass the values in the form URL as parameters, or connect a live source like a CRM or spreadsheet through an API. This guide covers both, with a copy-ready example, and how to set them up in Formester even if you do not write code.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Cp>Formester does this through its \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fformester.com\u002Ffeatures\u002Fauto-fill-forms-with-external-data\u002F\">auto-fill from external data feature\u003C\u002Fa>, pulling from tools you already use like HubSpot, Google Sheets, Excel, Airtable, or Notion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Ch2>What Does It Mean to Pre-Fill a Form?\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\n\u003Cp>When a form is pre-filled, it pulls data your system already holds, like a customer's email or phone number, and drops it into the matching fields before the user ever sees the form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Cp>The user opens the link, glances at what is already there, fills any gaps, and submits. Less typing, fewer typos, and a form that feels built for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Ch2>Two Ways to Pre-Fill a Form: URL Parameters vs API\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\n\u003Cp>There are two methods, and they suit different jobs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Ch3>URL-parameter prefill\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\n\u003Cp>You pass the values straight in the form link as query strings. It looks like this:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Cul>\n\u003Cli>https:\u002F\u002Fyourform.com\u002Fcontact\u003Cwbr>?name=Jane\u003Cwbr>&email=jane@acme.com\u003Cwbr>&company=Acme\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003C\u002Ful>\n\n\u003Cp>When someone opens that link, the name, email, and company fields are already filled. It is the fastest method when you build the links yourself, for example in an email campaign or a CRM workflow, and you only need a handful of fields.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Ch3>API-based prefill\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\n\u003Cp>Instead of stuffing values into the link, you connect a live data source and let Formester pull the values when the form loads. Use this when the data lives in another system (a CRM, a spreadsheet, a database), when it changes often, or when you do not want IDs and emails sitting in a visible URL.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Cp>Rule of thumb: a few known values in a link you already send, use URL parameters. Data that lives in another tool and updates, use the API. The rest of this guide walks the API method, since that is the one most people set up wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Ch2>Why Pre-Filling Forms Is Worth the Setup\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\n\u003Cp>The payoff is simple: every field you remove is a field someone does not abandon the form over. Completion rate falls as forms get longer, from around 28% on a 1 to 2 field form down to roughly 11% once you hit 10 or more fields (\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fowlclaw.com\u002Fbenchmarks\u002Fform-fill-rate-benchmarks\u002F\">form fill-rate benchmarks\u003C\u002Fa>). Pre-filling lets you keep the fields you need while cutting the typing your user actually feels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Cul>\n\u003Cli>Fewer drop-offs, because the form looks shorter and easier the moment it opens.\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>Fewer errors, because the data comes from your records, not a tired thumb on a phone.\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>Faster turnaround on lead capture, hiring, onboarding, and repeat orders.\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>A more professional impression, since the form already knows who the person is.\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003C\u002Ful>\n\n\u003Ch2>How to Pre-Fill a Form With an API in Formester\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\n\u003Cp>Four steps, no code. The two-minute walkthrough above shows it end to end if you would rather watch than read.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Ch3>Step 1: Open Your Form and Go to the Share Tab\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\n\u003Cul>\n\u003Cli>Log in to Formester and open the form you want to pre-fill.\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>Click the Share tab.\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>Choose Pre-Fill.\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003C\u002Ful>\n\n\u003Ch3>Step 2: Select API Based Pre-Fill\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\n\u003Cp>Under the Pre-Fill options, pick API Based Pre-Fill. Formester hands you a ready-made API link.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Cp>Point it at the source your data already lives in: a CRM like \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fformester.com\u002Fintegrations\u002Fhubspot\u002F\">HubSpot\u003C\u002Fa>, \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fformester.com\u002Fintegrations\u002Fgoogle-sheets\u002F\">Google Sheets\u003C\u002Fa>, Excel, Airtable, \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fformester.com\u002Fintegrations\u002Fnotion\u002F\">Notion\u003C\u002Fa>, or even another Formester form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Ch3>Step 3: Map Your Form Fields to Your Data\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\n\u003Cp>Now tell Formester which field pulls which value. Link the email field to the email column, the phone field to the phone column, and so on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Cp>Map only the fields you actually have clean data for. A wrong value pre-filled is worse than a blank one, because people trust what is already on the screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Ch3>Step 4: Share the Form URL\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\n\u003Cp>Share the form link. When your user opens it, their details are already in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Cp>They review, fill any gaps, and submit. That is the whole experience: less work for them, cleaner data for you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Ch2>Where Pre-Filled Forms Earn Their Keep\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\n\u003Cp>Pre-fill is not a gimmick. It quietly removes friction in the moments that decide whether a form gets finished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Ch3>Lead Capture and Quote Requests\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\n\u003Cp>A prospect's details are already sitting in your CRM. Instead of making them retype it, send a quote or inquiry form with the email, phone, and company already filled. They review and submit in seconds, and you look like you were expecting them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Ch3>Job Applications and Recruitment\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\n\u003Cp>If a candidate applied before or already sent a resume, pull what you have from a spreadsheet or an earlier form and pre-fill the application. The candidate skips the repeat data entry, and your pipeline stays tidy. The same trick works on any \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fformester.com\u002Fblog\u002Fhow-to-create-smart-job-application-forms\u002F\">job application form\u003C\u002Fa>.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Ch3>Client Onboarding\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\n\u003Cp>First impressions stick. Send a new client an onboarding form with their basic details already pulled from your records. They fill the rest, and the handoff feels organized instead of bureaucratic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Ch3>Repeat Orders for Existing Customers\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\n\u003Cp>Repeat customers should never retype their shipping address. Send a reorder form with contact and delivery details already in place. Fewer mistakes, faster processing, and one less reason to abandon the cart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Ch3>Internal Team Workflows\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\n\u003Cp>Employee onboarding, IT requests, record updates: internal forms ask for the same details over and over. Pre-fill the known parts (employee ID, department, manager) and your team spends its time on the work, not the paperwork.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Ch2>Build Your First Pre-Filled Form\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\n\u003Cp>Forms are part of doing business, but they should not feel like a chore for the person filling them. Pick the method that fits: URL parameters for a few known values, the API when the data lives in another tool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Cp>Pre-fill works with the tools you already run, from your CRM and Google Sheets to Airtable and Notion, and you stay in control of the data.
