Forminator Forms to Zoho Campaigns Integration: Step-by-Step Setup

Selecting Forminator Forms as the trigger. Step 3: Enter a feed title
New feed › Feed titleOn the Name this feed screen, enter a name of your choice in the Feed title field, for example Forminator Forms to Zoho Campaigns subscribers. The title is used inside WordPress only, in the feed list and the delivery log. Make sure Enabled (send submissions for this feed) is turned on.
Naming the feed. Step 4: Select your form
New feed › FormOpen the Form dropdown, which lists your Forminator Forms. Select the one that should send data to Zoho Campaigns, then click Continue.
One feed, one formEach feed listens to exactly one form. To connect another form, create another feed.
Choosing the form this feed listens to.
Steps 5–13 · Destination and mapping
Step 5: Select your connected account
Zoho connection step › Connected accountOn the Zoho connection step, open the Connected account dropdown and choose the Zoho account you connected under FormBridge for Zoho → Connections.
No account in the list?Create a connection first, then return to the feed. Learn how to create a Zoho connection.
Choosing the connected Zoho account. Step 6: Select Zoho Campaigns as the Zoho app
Zoho connection step › Zoho AppNext, open the Zoho App dropdown and select Zoho Campaigns.
Selecting Zoho Campaigns as the Zoho app. Step 7: Select the mailing list
Zoho connection step › Mailing ListFrom the Mailing List dropdown, choose the list that new subscribers should be added to. The lists load from Zoho once the account is chosen.
Choosing the mailing list for new subscribers. Step 8: Select the subscription type
Contact options › Subscription typeUnder Contact options, open the Subscription type dropdown and choose the email permission level for new subscribers.
Choosing the subscription type. Step 9: Choose when contacts are added to the list
Contact options › Add to listFrom the Add to list dropdown, choose when new subscribers join the mailing list:
- Right away adds the contact to the list as soon as the form is submitted.
- After they confirm by email sends the contact a confirmation email from Zoho first. The contact joins the list only after confirming.
Choosing when new subscribers are added to the mailing list. Step 10: Choose topics
Contact options › TopicsIn the Associate contacts with these topics field, choose the topics new subscribers should be linked to. Subscribers then receive emails only about the topics they chose, which keeps your campaigns targeted. Hold Ctrl or Cmd to pick more than one.
Choosing topics for new subscribers. Step 11: Add contact tags
Contact options › Contact TagsIn the Contact Tags field, select tags to apply to new subscribers. Tags make it easy to segment contacts, for example by the form they submitted or their lead source.
Adding contact tags to new subscribers. Step 12: Turn on the duplicate check
Zoho connection step › Duplicate CheckThe duplicate check looks for an existing contact that matches the submission, based on email, name or another field. When it finds a match, FormBridge updates that contact instead of creating a new one.
Turn it on if you want existing contacts updated, then click Continue.
Turning on the duplicate check. Step 13: Map your form fields and create the feed
Mapping step › Field MappingMatch each Forminator Forms field to the Zoho Campaigns field that should store its value. Click Add Mapping Row to map more fields.
Map the email addressZoho Campaigns identifies contacts by email address, so always map your form’s email field. Map any other required fields too, or the contact won’t be added.
Mapping Forminator Forms fields to Zoho Campaigns fields. If a field should always get the same value, enter a static value in its mapping row instead of choosing a form field. When the required fields are mapped, click Create feed. The feed starts listening to the selected form straight away.
Adding a static value and creating the feed. Delivery logsEvery delivery, successful or failed, is recorded under FormBridge for Zoho → Logs. Failed deliveries can be sent again with Resubmit.
- One feed listens to exactly one form. If two Forminator Forms should send data to Zoho Campaigns, create two feeds.
- Changing the Zoho app, account or mailing list after mapping clears the mapping rows, so set those first.
- To see exact Zoho Campaigns field API names, go to FormBridge for Zoho → Connections and click Modules & Fields for the account.

Frequently asked questions
Can I connect Forminator Forms to Zoho Campaigns?
Yes. Use Forminator Forms as the trigger and Zoho Campaigns as the destination. After selecting your form, choose your connected Zoho account and mailing list, set the subscription type, when contacts join, topics and tags, then map your form fields.
Do I need coding for the Forminator Forms Zoho integration?
No. FormBridge for Zoho is set up entirely from its settings screens. You select Forminator Forms, choose your form, pick a Zoho app and map the fields without writing any code.
What is the difference between Right away and After they confirm by email?
Right away adds new subscribers to the mailing list as soon as the form is submitted. After they confirm by email sends each subscriber a confirmation email from Zoho first, and adds them only after they confirm.
What is the difference between topics and tags in Zoho Campaigns?
Topics control which kinds of emails a subscriber receives, so they only get emails about topics they chose. Tags label contacts so you can segment them, for example by form or lead source.
What happens if the same email is submitted again?
Zoho Campaigns identifies contacts by email address, so sending the same address again updates the existing contact instead of creating a duplicate.
Can two forms send subscribers to Zoho Campaigns?
Yes. Each feed listens to exactly one form, so create a separate feed for each form.
Where do I find Zoho Campaigns field API names?
Go to FormBridge for Zoho → Connections and click Modules & Fields for the connected account.
