Open in Introw: Forms

How it works

Mapping happens in two linked places. In the form builder, each field can be mapped to a CRM object and property, so the submitted value knows where it belongs. In the form’s Automation tab, CRM object automations decide what happens on submit: which object is created or updated, how each property is filled, and how the record is attributed to the partner. Forms can also prefill mapped fields from an existing CRM record when opened with that record’s context, so partners confirm known data instead of retyping it. Attribution mappings tie the created or updated records back to the submitting partner.

Prerequisites

  • A connected CRM integration (HubSpot or Salesforce).
  • Write access to forms.
  • Knowledge of the CRM objects and properties you want to write to.

Settings & configuration

Mapping is configured in the form builder and the form’s Automation tab.

Field-level mapping

In a field’s settings, map it to a CRM object and property. The field then carries the property name and type so its value writes to the right place.

CRM object automations

In the Automation tab, add a CRM object automation for each object a submission should affect. Configure how each property is set, either from a form field or a fixed value, and the write behavior, such as filling only if empty or overwriting.

Create versus update

Automations control whether a submission creates a new record, updates an existing one, or skips creation. When a partner selects an existing CRM object in a field, you can choose whether to still create a new record.

Partner attribution

Use attribution mappings so created or updated records are tied to the submitting partner, keeping partner-attached data attributed in the CRM.

Prefill

When a form is opened with a CRM record’s context, mapped fields can prefill from that record so partners confirm rather than retype.

Connect a form to your CRM

Map fields to CRM properties, control how submissions create or update records, attribute them to the partner, and prefill from known data.

Limits & gotchas

Mapping depends on a connected CRM integration, so connect HubSpot or Salesforce first. Write behavior matters: overwrite can replace existing CRM values, so use fill-if-empty when you only want to add missing data. Attribution requires the right mappings, or records may sync without being tied to the partner.

Troubleshooting

  • A submission did not write to the CRM - the field is not mapped, or no CRM automation targets that object.
  • An existing record was overwritten - the write behavior was set to overwrite instead of fill-if-empty.
  • A record is not attributed to the partner - the attribution mappings are missing or incomplete.
