The When a person submits a form trigger enrolls people into an automation as soon as they submit a Planning Center form. It’s the perfect way to follow up right after someone submits a form.
Setting It Up
- Choose When a person submits a form as your trigger.
- Select the Planning Center form to watch.
- Select the email category the automation’s emails will be sent under.
When someone submits that form, they enter the automation and begin moving through your steps.
What Counts as a Submission
This trigger responds to submissions from anywhere the form can be filled out, including:
- The form’s own Church Center page
- Your Flowforth signup forms and website embeds
So whether someone signs up through your hosted signup page, an embed on your website, or directly in Church Center, they’ll enter the automation just the same.
Watching a form requires a connected Planning Center account with access to the form. If a form is later deleted or can no longer be found in Planning Center, the automation will flag the trigger so you can pick a different form.
Combine this trigger with a signup form to create a complete sign-up-to-welcome flow: someone fills out your newsletter signup, Planning Center records the submission, and your automation immediately sends a welcome email — no manual steps in between.
