Overview

Jotform is useful when checkout should trigger an intake form, waiver, questionnaire, or survey. Zapier can send the right form after the relevant Newie billing event.

​
What You’ll Need

  • Newie connected to Zapier
  • A Jotform account with enough form, submission, and signature allowance for the workflow you want to run
  • Jotform form(s) built and published, with field IDs noted for URL prefill

​
Common Zaps

Subscription Started → Gmail or Jotform: Send Form Link Send a personalized email with a prefilled Jotform link when billing starts and the subscription becomes active. Use Jotform URL prefill or Assign Prefilled Form so known fields like name and email are filled in. One-Off Purchase Complete → Gmail or Jotform: Send Form Link Send an intake form (e.g. health questionnaire, waiver) after a one-off purchase is complete. Subscription Ends → Gmail: Send Jotform Link Send a cancellation/exit survey so you can learn why customers leave. Payment Overdue → Gmail: Send Jotform Link Send a short “what happened?” form to capture whether the issue is a card problem or a churn signal.

​
Setup at a Glance

  1. If you have not connected Newie yet, follow Connecting Newie to Zapier first.
  2. In Zapier, create a new Zap and choose Newie as the trigger. Pick Subscription Started for subscription onboarding, or One-Off Purchase Complete for one-off purchases.
  3. Build a prefilled Jotform URL using the form’s prefill URL parameters and available Newie trigger fields for name/email, or use Jotform’s Assign Prefilled Form action.
  4. Connect Gmail, Jotform, or your preferred email tool as the action and send the customer the form link.
  5. Test, then turn on the Zap.
To act on submitted responses, build another Zap with Jotform’s New Submission trigger pointing into your CRM, Google Sheet, or Slack. Newie cannot be the action app.

Notes

  • Jotform plans have monthly submission, form, and storage limits. Check the current plan limits before using it for high-volume intake or legally important forms.
  • URL-encode customer fields with Formatter by Zapier → Text → URL Encode so names with spaces or apostrophes do not break the prefill.
  • If you need a waiver-style signature, confirm the form, signature widget, and signed-document workflow are suitable for your business before promising customers a signed waiver.
