What this workflow does

If your team plans and tracks work in Notion, form responses that stay in WordPress are one more place to check. Requests, applications and feedback are easier to act on when they appear as items in a Notion database. This workflow puts them there.

The JetFormBuilder trigger fires when a form is submitted, and the answers become fields you can map. The Notion step then creates an item in the database you connect, with its properties filled from the answers you assign.

Each submission creates one new item. The workflow doesn't look for an existing item first, so repeat submissions become separate items. Task History shows each run, which helps if an item is missing a value you expected.

Content requests for a marketing team

Colleagues request blog posts or graphics through a JetFormBuilder form, and each request becomes an item in the team's Notion board.

Job applications in a hiring database

Applicants fill in a form on your careers page, and each one appears as an item in the Notion database you use to review candidates.

Bug reports from customers

A support form creates an item in the product team's Notion database for each report.

How this workflow runs

What happens at each step once the workflow is on, and what you need before you import it.

  1. Step 1Trigger
    JetFormBuilder Form Submission

    Fires when a JetFormBuilder form is submitted on your WordPress site. Each answer is passed on for mapping into Notion.

  2. Step 2Action
    Notion Create Database Item

    Creates an item in the Notion database you choose. Connect your Notion account, give it access to the database, and map form answers to the database properties.

What you need

  • FlowMatticCore
  • JetFormBuilder AccountAccount
  • Notion AccountAccount

After importing, map your own data. To keep the template universal, not every step is pre-filled. Open each step in the builder and connect your accounts and fields (channels, lists, sheets, recipients) before you switch the workflow on.

Make it yours

Changes worth making after you import it.

  • Set up the Notion database's properties before mapping, so each form answer has a property to go into.
  • Submit a test response after import, so the JetFormBuilder fields appear for mapping in the Notion step.
  • Add a Slack or email step after Notion to alert whoever picks up new items.

Questions about this workflow

Does a repeat JetFormBuilder submission update the Notion item?

No. Each submission creates a new item. The workflow does not search for or update existing items.

Why doesn't my Notion database show up in the Create Database Item step?

Notion only lets connected integrations reach pages and databases they have been given access to. Share the database with the connection, then reload the step.

Are JetFormBuilder entries from before import sent to Notion?

No. Only forms submitted after you turn the workflow on create Notion items.

Which accounts does the JetFormBuilder to Notion workflow need?

JetFormBuilder on the WordPress site where FlowMattic runs, and a Notion account with the database you want to fill.

It is self hosted and wordpress based. So you can effectively run this on any shared hosting with unlimited tasks. And new integrations are constantly being added. It's crazy how valuable this tool is.

The software works really well, and the team is adding integrations constantly, so I'm positive it eventually will catch up with Zapier. The flows are very easy to create and if you have any doubt, the team will give you great support.
