When a form is opened in NativeForms, create a log entry in Monday.com
Every time someone opens one of your NativeForms forms, this workflow adds an item to a Monday.com board, giving your team a running log of form views to compare with completed submissions.

What this workflow does
Completed submissions only tell half the story. If a form gets plenty of opens but few completions, something in it is putting people off. NativeForms can report each open, and this workflow turns those opens into a log your team can see in Monday.com.
The NativeForms trigger, Form Opened, starts a run as soon as a visitor loads one of your forms. FlowMattic passes whatever data NativeForms sends with that event to the next step. The Monday.com step runs Create Item, which adds a new item to the board you choose. You set the item name and map any event data into its columns.
An open happens before anyone types anything, so don't expect a name or email in this event. Run a test to see what NativeForms sends, such as the form name and the time. Every open creates an item, including views by your own team, so a busy form fills the board quickly.
Spotting form drop-off
Log opens of a quote form on one Monday.com board group and completions on another, then compare the counts each week to see how many visitors leave without submitting.
Checking a campaign landing form
During a launch, the marketing team watches the board fill with open events to confirm the campaign is sending people to the form.
Low-traffic event registration
For a small event, a coordinator sees each open of the registration form as it happens and knows interest is building.
How this workflow runs
What happens at each step once the workflow is on, and what you need before you import it.
NativeForms Form OpenedFires each time one of your NativeForms forms is opened. The event data NativeForms sends, such as which form it was, becomes available to map.
- Monday.com Create Item
Adds one item per open to the Monday.com board you pick. Name it, for example with the form name and the time, and map other event data into columns.
What you need
- FlowMatticCore
- NativeForms AccountAccount
- Monday.com 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.
- Pair this with a second workflow on NativeForms' Form Completed trigger that logs to another group on the same board, so opens and completions sit side by side.
- Add a Filter after the trigger that continues only for the form you want to watch, if the event says which form was opened and you have several forms.
- Open your own form once after import so FlowMattic captures the event's fields, then map them into the Monday.com item before you turn the workflow on.
Questions about this workflow
Does the NativeForms Form Opened event include the visitor's details?
Usually not, because the visitor hasn't filled anything in yet. Run a test to see the exact fields NativeForms sends, and map only those into Monday.com.
Will my own visits to the form create Monday.com items?
Yes. Every open fires the trigger, including test views by your team. Keep that in mind when you read the counts.
How fast will the Monday.com board grow?
By one item per form open. On a popular form that adds up, so archive old items or log to a board set aside for this.
Can I log completed NativeForms submissions instead?
Yes. Replace the trigger with NativeForms' Form Completed event, which fires when a form is completed, and map the answers into the item.
