Select Divi Form Builder from the trigger apps. Step 3: Enter a feed title
Name this feed › Feed titleOn the Name this feed screen, enter the required information. In the Feed title field, enter a name of your choice.

Steps 5–9 · Destination and mapping
Step 5: Select your connected Zoho account
Destination tab › Connected accountOpen the Destination tab and choose the Zoho account you authorised under FormBridge for Zoho → Connections. Records are created in this account, and each feed can use a different one.
No account in the list?Create a Zoho connection first, then return to the feed setup. Learn how to create a Zoho connection.
Choosing the authorised Zoho account. Step 6: Select Zoho CRM as the destination
Destination tab › Zoho AppFrom the Zoho App dropdown, select Zoho CRM. This tells FormBridge to send the submitted form data to Zoho CRM.
Selecting Zoho CRM as the destination. Step 7: Select the Zoho CRM module
Destination tab › Module / resourceChoose the module that will receive your form data. You can select Leads, Contacts, Deals, Accounts or another available module. This example uses Leads, the usual choice for contact and enquiry forms.
Selecting the Leads module. Step 8: Configure duplicate handling
Destination tab › Duplicate handlingDuplicate handling checks whether a matching record already exists before a new one is created. If a match is found, FormBridge updates that record instead of creating a duplicate.
Choose the field used to find a match, such as Email or Name, then click Continue.
Configuring Zoho CRM duplicate record handling. Step 9: Map your form fields and create the feed
Mapping tab › Match the fieldsField mapping connects each Elementor Forms field to the Zoho CRM field that stores its value. For example, map your form’s Email field to the Zoho CRM Email field.
Required fieldThe Leads module needs a value for Last Name. If it isn’t mapped, Zoho CRM won’t create the lead.
Mapping Elementor Forms fields to Zoho CRM fields. You can also assign a static value to any Zoho CRM field, which is sent with every submission. This suits fixed information such as Lead Source or Lead Status. For picklist fields, use a value that already exists in that picklist.
Example mapping for the Leads module Source Form field Zoho CRM field Static value Form field Last name Last Name * – Form field Email Email – Static value – Lead Source Website Click Add Mapping Row when you need to map additional fields.
Adding a static value with Add Mapping Row. Once the required fields are mapped, click Create feed. The feed starts listening to the selected form straight away, and can be disabled later without being deleted.
Delivery logsEvery delivery, successful or failed, is recorded under FormBridge for Zoho → Logs. Failed deliveries can be sent again with Resubmit.

Required fields by Zoho CRM module
Zoho CRM only creates a record when its mandatory fields have a value. Map these fields, or give them a static value.
| Module | Required field | API name |
|---|---|---|
| Leads | Last Name | Last_Name |
| Contacts | Last Name | Last_Name |
| Accounts | Account Name | Account_Name |
| Deals | Deal Name, Stage, and Pipeline when pipelines are enabled | Deal_Name, Stage, Pipeline |
Your Zoho CRM admin may have made other fields mandatory too. Check the module under Connections → Modules & Fields and map those fields as well.
Verify the integration
- Submit a test entry on the page holding your form, using an email address you can recognise.
- Check the log under FormBridge for Zoho → Logs and confirm the delivery succeeded.
- Find the record in the Zoho CRM module you selected by searching for the test email.
- Check the values, including static values such as Lead Source.
- Test duplicate handling, if it’s on, by submitting the same email again. The existing record should update.
Troubleshooting
Pick the symptom you’re seeing to get the fix.
No lead is created
- Likely cause
- A required field isn’t mapped.
- How to fix it
- Map every field Zoho marks as required for the selected module, then check the Logs screen for the error returned by Zoho CRM.
No form in the dropdown
- Likely cause
- The form hasn’t been saved on a published page, or Elementor isn’t active.
- How to fix it
- Publish the page containing the form, confirm Elementor is active, then reopen the feed and open the Form dropdown again.
Mapping rows cleared
- Likely cause
- The app, account or module changed after mapping.
- How to fix it
- Set the account, app and module first, then map the fields. Changing any of the three resets the rows.
Duplicate records
- Likely cause
- Duplicate handling is turned off in the feed.
- How to fix it
- Turn on duplicate handling in Step 8 and pick the field used to match an existing record, usually email.
Field name not found
- Likely cause
- The API name doesn’t exist in the selected module.
- How to fix it
- Check the correct name under FormBridge for Zoho → Connections → Modules & Fields.
Wrong form firing
- Likely cause
- The feed’s trigger points at a different form.
- How to fix it
- Check which form the trigger points at. Give every form that needs its own Zoho CRM connection a separate feed.

Frequently asked questions
Can I connect Divi Form Builder to Zoho CRM?
Yes. Use Divi Form Builder as the trigger and Zoho CRM as the action. Choose a module such as Leads or Contacts, then map your form fields to the matching CRM fields.
Do I need Divi to use Divi Form Builder?
Yes. Divi Form Builder adds a form module to the Divi Builder, so the Divi theme or the Divi Builder plugin has to be installed and active alongside it.
How is this different from the Divi contact form trigger?
They are separate triggers. The Divi contact form is the Contact Form module built into Divi, while Divi Form Builder is a separate plugin with its own form module. Pick the trigger that matches the module your form was built with.
How do I check that a submission reached Zoho?
Submit the form with test data, then open FormBridge for Zoho → Logs. Every delivery is listed with its result, and failed deliveries can be resubmitted.
Can I connect Elementor Forms to Zoho CRM?
Yes. Use Elementor Forms as the trigger and Zoho CRM as the action. After selecting your form, choose Zoho CRM, pick a module such as Leads or Contacts, and map your Elementor Forms fields to the matching CRM fields.
Do I need Elementor Pro?
Yes. The form widget is part of Elementor Pro, so free Elementor has no form to use as a trigger.
Do I need coding for the Elementor Zoho CRM integration?
No. FormBridge for Zoho is set up entirely from its settings screens. You select Elementor Forms, choose your form, pick Zoho CRM and map the fields without writing any code.
Can I send data to a module other than Leads?
Yes. FormBridge can send data to available Zoho CRM modules such as Contacts, Accounts, Deals and custom modules. Select the module under Module / resource, then map that module’s required fields before creating the feed.
Can one form send data to multiple Zoho apps?
Yes. Create a separate feed for each destination. For example, one feed can send form data to Zoho CRM while another sends the same form data to another supported Zoho app.
