Application: Select an application from the drop-down option.

Form: Select a form from the drop-down option.

In the integration settings, you will see a “Map Fields” option. This is where you will need to map the fields from your form to the corresponding fields in Zoho Creator.

Actions

Update Record: First, you have to map the fields you want to update the value. Here is an example, we have mapped the ‘Name’ fields, as we want to update that corresponding field’s value. Now, click on the action ‘Update Record’. It controls how the submitted records will get updated. Now you have to set the criteria by specifying the Zoho field link. Depending on this field link, your mapped field’s value will change.

Here, we have set the field link “Email = [email protected]”. So, all the names corresponding to the email will be updated. If you face any difficulties, visit the ‘Zoho Creator Guide‘.

If we enable the update preference ‘Yes‘, then after the submission of data, it will check the criteria. If the criteria match then it will update otherwise the values will be added as a new record.

After setting up the integration process, set conditional logic as before.

Integration Save

Once you have configured the desired settings for the integration, click the Save & Finish button to save the integration.

Configuring the conditional logic

Now, let’s set up some conditional logic to trigger the integration for the submitted data. To do this, head over to the conditional logic section. You have the option to create a new conditional logic or use an existing one. Make sure to set the Action behavior to “Always” and check the Integration under Additional Actions. Then, select your desired Integration, in this case, “Zoho Creator API“. Once done, just click on Update.

Integration Log

Every integration has a timeline that you can use to check the success or error status of the integration. To see your response, just head over to the Response section in Bit Form, click on your record, and then scroll down. Below your Timeline, click on Show Integration Logs.
