Form Submission
The Form Submission trigger fires when someone completes and submits one of your TinyForms. Every form field is available as a variable in your workflow.
Internal name: FORM_TRIGGER
Node color: Amber (#F59E0B)
Setting it up
-
Click the Trigger Setup node
-
Select Tiny Forms → Form Submission
-
Configure directly on the Choose tab:
Configuration fields
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Which form? | Dropdown listing all published forms in your workspace. Only published forms appear; drafts are excluded. |
| Form Question Fields | Checkbox list of all form fields. Toggle which fields are included as trigger output. All fields selected by default. |
| When should it trigger? | Currently one option: "Form is submitted": fires when a user completes and submits the form. |
How it works
- Select a published TinyForm from the dropdown
- The trigger auto-fetches all form fields and shows them as checkboxes
- Check the fields you want available as variables
- Save; the trigger is ready
- When someone submits the form, the workflow fires with their answers as data
Output variables
Each selected form field becomes a variable:
| Variable | What it contains |
|---|---|
{{trigger.fieldName}} | The value submitted for that form field |
{{trigger.email}} | Example: email field from the form |
{{trigger.message}} | Example: text field from the form |
The exact variable names match your form's field names.
Common patterns
Lead routing
Form Submission → AI Analyzer (classify lead quality) → If-Else (hot vs cold) → Send to CRM or Email
Auto-reply
Form Submission → Send Email (thank you message to {{trigger.email}})
Data collection
Form Submission → Create Record (insert into database) → Send Slack notification
Note
Only published forms appear in the dropdown. If you don't see your form, make sure it's published in the TinyForms product.
Tip
Deselect form fields you don't need; this keeps your workflow variables clean and reduces noise in the variable picker.
