-
Last updated on: June 17, 2025
Tired of hand-sorting form responses? Our new Form answer automations feature automatically links new contacts to the right tags, audiences, sources, products, and pipelines, reducing your admin time so you can focus on strengthening relationships.
Your form submissions are packed with crucial data to help your sales and marketing teams close more deals. Spending time sorting and grouping those responses before you can take action slows your team down and gives hot leads time to cool off.
Introducing Nutshell’s new Form answer automations—a game-changing automation feature that turns each response into an instant workflow trigger. You decide how to group and nurture leads based on their responses, saving you time, reducing errors, and keeping your sales and marketing efforts moving forward.

What is the Form answer automations feature?
Form answer automations is a new automation layer inside Nutshell Forms that lets you tie specific answers in a web form to certain actions in-app. Instead of manually adding Leads, People, and Companies to audiences and pipelines, you can automatically link them to where you’d like them to be, based on their form responses.
What can I do with Form answer automations?
With Nutshell’s new Form answer automations feature, you can:
- Auto-tag new contacts: Instantly label People, Companies, or Leads with descriptive, color-coded tags for better grouping and organization.
- Build laser-focused audiences: Drop sign-ups straight into an Audience for segmented messaging to ensure you always speak to prospect and customer interests.
- Send leads to the right pipeline: Route leads to different sales pipelines based on the variables you set up and the options they select.
- Link products to leads: Automatically add products to your leads when they select the product group or SKU stipulated in your form.
- Track lead sources: Map a respondent’s chosen “How did you hear about us?” answer to the correct source field for more accurate lead attribution grouping and reporting.

How do I get started with Form answer automations?
Nutshell’s Form answer automations feature is part of our Nutshell Forms tool, a component of Marketing Foundation, which is included with every Nutshell Sales plan.
