How to connect Job Manager to Zoho FSM
12 steps, from creating the feed to a live record reaching Zoho FSM.
Steps 1–4 · Trigger and details
Step 1: Create a new integration feed
FormBridge for Zoho › All FeedsIn your WordPress dashboard, open FormBridge for Zoho, click All Feeds, then click + Add New Feed.
Open All Feeds and click + Add New Feed. Step 2: Select Job Manager as the trigger
New feed › Trigger appFrom the list of trigger apps, select Job Manager. The feed will now run on your job board data instead of a form.
Select Job Manager 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.
Enter a feed title you’ll recognise later. Step 4: Select your form
New feed › FormFrom the provided dropdown menu, select the Form you want to connect with FormBridge for Zoho. For example, select Job Manager Employer, then click Continue.
Each feed sends data to a single Zoho app. To send the same records to a second app, create another feed.
One feed, one destinationEach feed sends data to a single Zoho app. To send the same records to a second app, create another feed.
Choose Job Manager Employer, then click Continue.
Steps 5–12 · Destination and mapping
Step 5: Select your account
Destination › AccountOn the Destination step, open the Account dropdown and choose the Zoho account you authorised under FormBridge for Zoho → Connections. Records are created in this account.
No account in the list?Use Connect account at the top of the panel, or create the connection first and return to the feed. Learn how to create a Zoho connection.
Choosing the connected Zoho account. Step 6: Select Zoho FSM as the Zoho app
Destination › Zoho appOpen the Zoho app dropdown and select Zoho FSM. The dropdown lists every app your account is authorised for.
Zoho FSM not in the list?The connection must include Zoho FSM. Open FormBridge for Zoho → Connections, choose Edit access for the account, tick Zoho FSM and reauthorise. Zoho grants only the permissions asked for when a connection is made.
Selecting Zoho FSM as the Zoho app. Step 7: Select the module
Destination › ModuleFrom the Module dropdown, choose what the feed should do in Zoho FSM. Each option says both the record type and the action:
- Contacts: find, then update or create
- Companies: find, then update or create
- Requests: create a service request
- Requests: update a service request
- Estimates: create with services and parts
- Work orders: create with services and parts
For a contact or enquiry form, choose Contacts. For a booking or service form, choose Requests: create a service request.
Choosing the Zoho FSM module. Step 8: Configure duplicate handling
Destination › Duplicate handlingUnder Duplicate handling, tick Update the matching Zoho record instead of creating a duplicate if an existing record should be updated rather than a second one created. Then click Continue.
Configuring duplicate handling, then continuing to the mapping step. Step 9: Map your form fields
Mapping › Field mappingOn the Mapping step, give each Zoho field a form field. Both lists load on their own: the Zoho fields come from the module you chose, and the form fields from your form.
Rows marked Required are locked, because Zoho FSM won’t create the record without them. For Contacts, those are Last name and Email; you only choose where each value comes from. Click + Add mapping row to send more fields, such as a phone number into Mobile.
Mapping form fields to Zoho FSM fields. Step 10: Send a fixed value
Mapping › Static valueTo send the same value on every submission, add a mapping row and set Source to Static value. The form field column greys out, and you type the value in the Static value box instead — a support number in Phone, for example.
Sending a fixed value instead of a form field. Step 11: Set conditional logic (optional)
Mapping › Conditional logicConditional logic lets a feed send only the submissions you want. Turn on Only send when the conditions below match, then build your rules: conditions inside a group must all match, and a record passes if it matches any one group.
While the switch is off the feed sends every record it receives, and any rules you have written are kept but not applied. You can leave this section alone if every submission should reach Zoho FSM.
Read the full conditional logic guide →
Setting conditional logic for the feed. Step 12: Test and save the feed
Mapping › Test this feedBefore going live, click Send test record. FormBridge sends one real record to Zoho FSM using the feed as last saved: static values go as they are, and mapped form fields are filled with realistic sample data, such as a valid email address and phone number. Open the module in Zoho FSM to check that the record arrived with the values you expect.
When the test looks right, click Save feed. The feed starts listening to the selected form straight away, so submit the real form once to confirm the whole flow.
Sending a test record, then saving 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 forms should send data to Zoho FSM, create two feeds.
- Changing the account, app or module after mapping clears the mapping rows, so set those first.
- To see exact Zoho FSM field names, go to FormBridge for Zoho → Connections and click Modules & Fields for the account.
Verify the integration
- Submit the real 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 FSM module you selected.
- Check the values, including any static values.
- 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 record is created
- Likely cause
- A required field is unmapped, or its form field is empty.
- How to fix it
- Check the locked Required rows on the mapping step. For Contacts, both Last name and Email need a value. Then open the Logs screen for the error Zoho FSM returned.
Zoho FSM missing from the dropdown
- Likely cause
- The connection was authorised before FSM was added.
- How to fix it
- Open Connections → Edit access for the account, tick Zoho FSM and reauthorise.
Nothing reaches Zoho
- Likely cause
- Conditional logic is on and no record matches the rules.
- How to fix it
- Open the conditional logic panel and check the rules, or switch off Only send when the conditions below match to send every record.
Duplicate records
- Likely cause
- Duplicate handling is turned off in the feed.
- How to fix it
- Tick the duplicate handling checkbox on the Destination step so a matching record is updated instead.
Mapping rows cleared
- Likely cause
- The account, app or module changed after mapping.
- How to fix it
- Set the account, app and module first, then map the fields.
Field name not found
- Likely cause
- The field doesn’t exist in the module you chose.
- How to fix it
- Check the module under FormBridge for Zoho → Connections → Modules & Fields, or use the reload button beside the Zoho field list.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a form plugin for this?
No. Job Manager is the trigger itself, so no separate form plugin is involved. Form plugins are only needed when the data comes from a form.
Can I send Job Manager data to several Zoho apps?
Yes. Create one feed per Zoho app and select Job Manager as the trigger in each feed.
Do I need coding for the Job Manager Zoho integration?
No. FormBridge for Zoho is set up entirely from its settings screens. You select the trigger, pick a Zoho app and map the fields without writing any code.
How do I check that the data reached Zoho?
Run a test submission on your job board, then open FormBridge for Zoho → Logs. Every delivery is listed with its result, and failed deliveries can be resubmitted.
What can a feed create in Zoho FSM?
A feed can find, update or create Contacts and Companies, create or update service Requests, or create Estimates and Work orders with services and parts. You pick one under Module.
Which fields are required for Zoho FSM contacts?
Last name and Email. Both appear as locked Required rows on the mapping step, so you only choose where each value comes from.
What does Send test record do?
It sends one real record to Zoho FSM using the feed as last saved. Static values are sent as they are, and mapped form fields are filled with realistic sample data such as a valid email and phone number.
Do I have to use conditional logic?
No. While the switch is off, the feed sends every record it receives, and any rules you have written are kept but not applied.
Can two forms send data to Zoho FSM?
Yes. Each feed listens to exactly one form, so create a separate feed for each form.
