Turn every website enquiry into an automated action

CRMMarketingFormsAutomationLead GenerationWebsite & CMS

Squarespace Forms captures visitor enquiries, sign-ups, and applications directly on your Squarespace website. Connect it to Actionist and your agents can react to every new form submission within about a minute — routing leads to the right CRM, adding subscribers to email lists, creating helpdesk tickets, and logging applicants to your ATS — without anyone logging into the Squarespace dashboard. Agents can also retrieve historical submissions on a schedule, audit form field compliance, and produce weekly performance reports across every form on your site.

Eliminates manual work. Agents eliminate the manual cycle of checking the Squarespace dashboard for new submissions, copying field data into CRM and email platforms by hand, and building weekly submission reports manually.

Contact form submission to HubSpot lead in under a minute

When a visitor submits the Squarespace contact form, the agent retrieves all field values, checks HubSpot for an existing contact, creates or updates the record, and posts a lead alert to the #new-leads Slack channel — all within about a minute of the form being submitted.

What your agent runs for you

  • Sales
    25 min / week
    Manual copy-paste from Squarespace to CRM

    Reps log into the Squarespace admin, read the new submission, copy the name and email, switch to HubSpot, and create the contact manually — 5 to 10 minutes per lead, often delayed until the rep checks their email.

    Sales Agent
    0 min
    Agent creates CRM contact within about a minute

    When a visitor submits the contact form, the agent reads all field values and creates a HubSpot contact before a rep has seen the Squarespace notification email.

  • Marketing
    30 min / week
    Weekly manual export and import

    The marketing team exports submissions from Squarespace as a CSV each week, reformats the columns, and imports the file into Mailchimp — a 30-minute task that delays new subscribers by up to seven days.

    Marketing Agent
    0 min
    Agent syncs subscribers to email lists automatically

    Each newsletter sign-up is added to the correct Mailchimp audience segment within about a minute of the form being submitted, with consent and source page tagged.

  • Customer Support
    20 min / week
    Checking Squarespace for new support requests

    The support team manually checks the Squarespace forms dashboard every few hours, copies submission details into Zendesk, and sends a confirmation email by hand — submissions made overnight wait until morning.

    Customer Support Agent
    0 min
    Agent creates helpdesk ticket within about a minute

    Support request form submissions are turned into Zendesk tickets automatically — submitter receives a confirmation email with their ticket number before any human has seen the original form.

  • Human Resources
    15 min / week
    Manual application logging and candidate emails

    HR logs into Squarespace, reads each application, copies it to the ATS sheet, and writes a personalised acknowledgement to each candidate — 10 minutes per application, done in batches each morning.

    Human Resources Agent
    0 min
    Agent logs applications and acknowledges candidates automatically

    Job application submissions are logged to the ATS tracking sheet and the candidate receives a personalised acknowledgement email within about a minute — no recruiter time spent on admin.

  • Finance
    10 min / week
    Manually monitoring Squarespace for big deals

    Finance checks the Squarespace submissions daily, identifies high-budget enquiries by eye, and manually creates deal records — high-value leads often wait 24 hours before reaching the right person.

    Finance Agent
    0 min
    Agent flags high-value enquiries immediately

    When a quote request form submission indicates an enterprise budget, the agent fires within about a minute and creates the deal in the enterprise pipeline — the VP of Sales is notified before the next email refresh.

  • Operations
    45 min / week
    Manual weekly form performance review

    Operations logs into Squarespace, navigates to each form's submission view, notes the counts, and builds a summary spreadsheet manually — a 45-minute weekly task that competes with higher-value work.

    Operations Agent

  • Legal
    8 min / week
    Quarterly manual form compliance review

    Legal manually reviews each form in Squarespace once a quarter to check for consent fields and data notices — a process that finds problems months after they appear, not within days.

FAQs

Questions about Squarespace Forms + Actionist

How does Actionist connect to Squarespace Forms?
Go to the Apps tab, find Squarespace Forms, and click Connect. Actionist uses OAuth to connect to your Squarespace account. A Squarespace authorisation window opens — sign in and grant Actionist permission to read your forms and submissions. The handshake is tested with a live call to confirm access before any agent runs.
What Squarespace permissions does the agent need?
The agent needs read access to your Squarespace site's forms and submissions via the OAuth scope granted during connection. It does not need admin or store access unless you later connect the broader Squarespace Commerce or Content APIs. The OAuth flow requests only the permissions needed for forms data.
Can I connect Squarespace Forms to other apps in the same agent task?
Yes. Squarespace Forms works alongside any other connected app in the same Actionist agent task. Common combinations: pull new form submissions and create a HubSpot contact, post a Slack notification, add a row to Google Sheets, send a follow-up Gmail, or create a ClickUp task. The form submission data — name, email, custom fields — is available to every downstream step.
What are the most common things agents do with Squarespace Forms?
The most common patterns: (1) lead capture — new form submission fires and the agent creates a CRM contact and sends a personalised follow-up email within about a minute; (2) lead routing — the agent reads custom field values (e.g. service interest, budget) and routes the lead to the correct sales rep or Slack channel; (3) newsletter sign-up — form submission adds the subscriber to a Mailchimp or ActiveCampaign list; (4) enquiry logging — the agent appends every submission to a Google Sheets master log with a timestamp and source page.
How quickly does the agent react after someone submits a Squarespace form?
Actionist polls the Squarespace Forms API for new submissions and fires within about a minute of a visitor submitting your form. There is no push webhook from Squarespace to Actionist — the agent checks on a short polling interval and picks up any new submissions since the last check. For most business workflows this is more than fast enough.
Can the agent watch multiple forms on the same Squarespace site?
Yes. When you connect your Squarespace site, the agent can read all forms on that site via Get Forms. If you have multiple forms — a contact form, a quote request form, a newsletter opt-in — you can configure the agent to watch a specific form by its form ID, or watch all forms and branch logic based on which form was submitted (reading the form name or a hidden custom field).
Does Actionist have access to my custom form fields, not just name and email?
Custom form fields you define in Squarespace (free-text, dropdowns, checkboxes, date pickers) are returned as named fields in the submission payload. Your agent can read any of these values and use them for routing, personalisation, or data enrichment. For example, a 'Budget' dropdown field can direct enterprise enquiries to one Slack channel and small-business enquiries to another.
Can the agent pull historical form submissions, not just new ones?
The agent can read submission history via Get Form Submissions, which lets you pull past submissions for a given date range. You can use this to backfill a CRM, audit unprocessed leads, or generate a weekly summary of all submissions received. For real-time processing going forward, use the New Form Submission trigger so every submission is handled as it arrives.
