Gravity Forms Create custom forms on WordPress with Gravity Forms, the easiest-to-use, secure, and reliable WordPress form builder plugin for your website.

FormBridge for Zoho is a handy WordPress plugin that connects the form plugin you already use to your Zoho apps without needing to write any code. You can link up any of ten popular form plugins, including Elementor Pro Forms, Contact Form 7, WPForms, and Gravity Forms, with six Zoho apps: Zoho CRM, Zoho Bigin, Zoho Books, Zoho Desk, Zoho Campaigns, and Zoho Marketing Automation.

In this guide, we’ll show you how to use Gravity Forms as a trigger, and send every new submission into Zoho Books as a Lead automatically.

Setup Gravity Forms Integrations With Zoho Books

First, go to your FormBridge for Zoho dashboard, click on Forms, and then + Add New Feed.

Field Mapping: Here you need to map your form fields to the matching fields in the Customers/Contacts module in Zoho Books. The “Contact Name” field is required in Zoho Books, so make sure to map your form’s Contact Name field to it. You can also click the “Add mapping row” button to map additional Form fields.

From the mapping, you can also set a static value if you want, instead of mapping it to a form field.

Once your necessary fields are mapped, click on the Create feed button.

Now, to check your connection, go and submit the form that you selected for this integration. Then you can see the status from the timeline.

Every delivery, success or failure, is recorded on the FormBridge for Zoho → Logs screen, with a one-click Resubmit option for anything that failed.

note-icon  Note

  • One feed always listens to exactly one Gravity Form. If you have two Gravity Forms that should both go to Zoho Books, create two feeds.
  • Switching the Zoho app, account, or module after you’ve already mapped fields will clear the mapping rows below map fields again after changing any of these.
  • To find the exact Zoho Books field API names, go to FormBridge for Zoho → Connections and use the Modules & fields button for that account.
