Zoho Forms
#320 most-usedCapture form data and put it to work automatically
Zoho Forms is a powerful online form builder that lets you create custom forms, surveys, and quizzes — collecting registrations, leads, support requests, feedback, and approvals from any device. Connect it to Actionist and your agents can react to every new form submission, pull entries on demand, push data into CRMs, spreadsheets, and project tools, and run scheduled reporting across all your active forms without anyone touching the dashboard.
Eliminates manual work. Agents eliminate manual form-checking, data copying into CRMs and project tools, approval email chains, weekly report compilation, and recurring export tasks that typically cost every team member several hours a week.
What your Zoho Forms agent runs on autopilot
A week of scheduled jobs your Actionist agent will execute on your behalf.
Zoho Forms × every other app you use
End-to-end automations that span multiple apps — each one a real business outcome.
New form lead synced to CRM and assigned to rep
When a new lead form submission arrives, the agent reads the entry's territory and product interest fields, creates a qualified contact in HubSpot with all form data mapped to CRM fields, assigns the contact to the correct rep based on territory rules, and sends the rep a Slack briefing with the prospect's details and a direct link to the CRM record — all within about a minute of the form being submitted.
Time saved for your team — every week, on autopilot
