Why Integrate Formester Forms with Notion?

Integrating Formester with Notion automatically adds form data to your workspace, saving time on manual entry. It helps you track leads, manage projects, and analyze feedback all in one place. Your team stays updated with real-time notifications, making it easier to collaborate and make decisions quickly.

How to Integrate Formester With Notion in 4 Easy Steps

Follow the simple steps below to create a form in Formester and easily integrate it with your notion workspace:

1. Set Up a Database in Notion

If you already have a Notion database, skip this step.
In Notion, click + Add a page and choose Database > Table.
Click + New Database and name it.
Add columns for each form question, like Name, Email, or Feedback.
Choose the property type for each column (e.g., Text, Select, Multi-select).
For Select or Multi-select, add the choices users will select from.
Now your database is ready to connect to Formester!

2. Create a Form in Formester

Log in to your Formester dashboard and click + New Form.
Use the simple drag-and-drop builder to add fields that match your Notion database columns.
Personalize your form with themes, logic (e.g., show/hide questions), or autoresponders.
Your form is ready to connect with Notion.

3. Connect Formester to Notion

Go to Automation tab in Formester and select Notion to create a workflow using Zapier
Choose Formester as the trigger app and select New Form Submission as the event.
Select the Formester form you want to use and carry out a test submission.
Set Notion as the action app and select Create Database Item as the action.
Log in to Notion and select the database you created earlier.
Match each form field to its corresponding column in Notion.

Zapier will now send responses from Formester to Notion automatically. Alternatively you can use any other workflow automation tool to do the same.

Test your setup by submitting a form and checking if the data appears in your Notion database.
Once everything works, publish your form in Formester.
Share the form via email, social media, or by embedding it on your website.
