Keep Google Forms and Salesforce updated automatically.
Today someone reads the message, and after that it still has to land somewhere else before anything happens. This connector fixes that, and we build it on request: what happens in Google Forms lands in Salesforce by itself, in the shape Salesforce expects. Tell us what you need and we agree exactly what should travel.
What this connector takes off your hands
-
Today someone reads the message, and after that it still has to land somewhere else before anything happens.
-
Today you create contacts by hand and search first whether someone exists, so no duplicate customer appears.
What Google Forms to Salesforce saves you
- Record every new request via Google Forms against the right customer in Salesforce.
- Record every appointment booked via Google Forms against the right customer in Salesforce.
- Record a Google Forms message left unanswered against the right customer in Salesforce.
What travels across the link
Everything this connector moves between Google Forms and Salesforce, and how often.
-
Contacts
to Salesforce automaticallyThe person or company lands on the right contact in Salesforce, found by email, so you create nothing twice.
-
Leads
to Salesforce automaticallyEvery new enquiry becomes a lead in Salesforce, so follow-up does not hang off a stray email.
-
Notes
to Salesforce automaticallyThe details land as a note on the contact in Salesforce, so the picture of that contact stays complete.
What each side expects
Google Forms and Salesforce do not describe the world the same way. This is what has to line up.
Salesforce
A CRM hangs everything off a contact, so that contact has to exist first and be recognisable, usually by email address.

Common questions
Can you connect Google Forms to Salesforce?
Yes. Schakel connects through the official APIs of Google Forms and Salesforce, so you install nothing on your own server and nothing travels outside those two parties.
Does the connector prevent duplicate contacts in Salesforce?
Yes. Contacts are matched by email, so an existing customer in Salesforce is updated rather than a second one appearing.
Which contact in Salesforce does the information from Google Forms land on?
The contact that matches on email. If it does not exist yet, it is created with the details that come across from Google Forms.
How are the Google Forms fields mapped to Salesforce?
You set once which field from Google Forms belongs where in Salesforce. After that every new submission lands in the right place automatically.
What does connecting Google Forms and Salesforce cost?
You start free and only pay once the connector is really running. After that the same tiers apply as for any other connector, based on how much runs through it each month.
How often does Google Forms sync with Salesforce?
That depends on your tier: hourly on the free tier up to real time on the unlimited tier. You can always start a sync yourself as well.
What if someone fills in the Google Forms form twice?
Then it checks by email whether the contact already exists, so you do not create a duplicate in Salesforce.
What if Google Forms or Salesforce is briefly unavailable?
Nothing gets lost. Schakel retries later and the log shows exactly what happened, so at most you notice something coming through a little later.
Missing something you need?
Tell us what Google Forms and Salesforce should do for you. If it is not in here yet, that is usually because nobody has asked. We build on request and we reply within 24 hours.
