With powerful customer relationship management (CRM) software like Salesforce, you have access to tons of robust features designed to help you close more deals. What you ,don’t, want to be stuck doing is manually typing in every lead's details into the CRM. That’ll keep you from those playing with those lead-nurturing features—and it’ll probably invite human error, too.

A smart solution is to use our Create record form template to automate your Salesforce lead management. The template provides a form that automatically creates new records—so you can quickly add new info to your CRM without ever leaving Zapier.

Zapier products the template uses

• Interfaces — an automated form, page, and app builder for collecting data
• Tables — databases that let you track and automate your data
• Zaps — automated workflows
• Canvas — a diagramming tool that helps you visualize your workflows

How this form template works

This template lets you easily add new records by connecting Zapier to your Salesforce account.

Here's a step-by-step breakdown of how it works:

• Someone submits a form, all the necessary information for creating a new record in Salesforce gets captured. The form includes fields for the object type (Contact, Lead, or Account) and relevant details like name, email, and phone number.
• The form submission triggers a Zap, which transfers the data to Salesforce.
• The Zap first sends the form data to a table, where you can manipulate or validate record details before they're sent to Salesforce.
• Next, the Zap retrieves the processed data from the table.
• Finally, the Zap creates a new record in Salesforce using the data from the form.
• You can use Canvas to visualize this workflow, making it easier to understand and modify steps if you'd like.

This automated process eliminates the need to manually enter data into Salesforce, saving you time and reducing the risk of errors. It's a simple, powerful way to keep your CRM up-to-date with minimal effort.
