Auto-add new leads from a Google Form to AurenWell
Connect a Google Form to AurenWell so every form submission shows up as a new client, ready for your review. No code, about ten minutes.
What you'll build
When someone fills out your Google Form, Zapier picks up the response, sends it to AurenWell, and a new client appears in your account for you to review and confirm.
Before you start
- A Zapier account.
- A Google Form you use (or will use) to collect leads.
- AurenWell with Integrations unlocked. If you don't see Integrations under Settings, email support@aurenwell.com.
- About 10 minutes.
Part 1
Get your AurenWell intake URL
Open the Integrations page in AurenWell
In AurenWell, go to Settings → Integrations. Under Inbound · Intake, click + Create intake URL.
Tip
Copy your intake URL
AurenWell shows you a URL that looks like https://www.aurenwell.com/api/intake/itk_…. Click Copy URLand keep it somewhere handy — you'll paste it into Zapier in Step 9.
Watch out
Part 2
Build the Zap
Create a new Zap with Google Forms as the trigger
In Zapier, click Create → New Zap. For the trigger app, search Google Forms and pick the event New Form Response. Connect your Google account when prompted.
Tip
Make sure your Google Form has the right fields
Open the Google Form you want to use. At minimum it should collect a Name and an Email. In this example we're also collecting Phone.
Your form's field labels don't have to match AurenWell's field names exactly — we'll map them in Step 9.
Pick your form in Zapier
Back in Zapier, in the trigger's Configure step, choose your form from the dropdown, then click Continue.
Test the trigger
Click Test. Zapier tries to read recent responses from your form. If there are no responses yet, submit one yourself and then click Find new records.
Pick a record so the next steps have something to map. Then click Continue with selected record.
Add the action — Webhooks by Zapier → POST
Click the + below your trigger to add an action. Search Webhooks by Zapier, then pick POST as the action event.
Watch out
Open the AurenWell field schema in another tab
Open AurenWell's intake settings in a second browser tab. Under Request Formatyou'll see the exact field names AurenWell expects. You'll match these one by one in the next step.
Tip
name, email, phone, address_line1, address_line2, city, state, zip, country, notes. Only name is required — the more you send, the richer the client record.Configure the POST action — the main event
This is where most mistakes happen, so take it slow. You'll set three things: the URL, the Payload Type, and the Data field map.
- 9a
URL — paste the AurenWell intake URL you copied in Step 2.
- 9b
Payload Type → Json. Change this from the default.
Watch out
This is the #1 thing people miss. The default is a form-encoded payload, which AurenWell will reject with a 400 error. It must beJson. - 9c
Data — the field map. On the left, type AurenWell's field names exactly (lowercase, no quotes):
name,email,phone, and so on. On the right, click the field picker and pick the matching field from your Google Form trigger. - 9d
Skip fields you don't have.If your form doesn't ask for phone, just leave the phone row out.
nameis the only required field.
Click Continue, then at the bottom click Test action. If everything's wired right, Zapier reports success.
Part 3
Verify it works
Check AurenWell for the new client
Open AurenWell and go to Clients. You should see your new lead at the top with a banner that reads “New submission from your intake URL”. Click Confirm to add them to your clients, or Discard if it looks like spam.
Note
auto_confirm, on the right type true. Only do this if you trust the form source (e.g. your own site with anti-spam). For a public Google Form, manual review is usually safer.Last thing: in Zapier, flip the Zap to On using the toggle at the top right. From now on, every new Google Form response creates a draft client in AurenWell.
Troubleshooting
- Test action failed
- Check Payload Type is set to
Json(Step 9b). The default form-encoded type is the most common cause. - Test action failed with 404
- Check the URL exactly matches the one from Step 2 — no trailing spaces, no extra characters. Paste fresh if in doubt.
- Test action failed with 400 or 'bad request'
- Field names on the left side of the data map must be lowercase exact:
namenotName,emailnotEmail. - Test worked, but no client shows up in AurenWell
- Make sure the Zap is turned On — the toggle at the top right of the Zap editor.
- I keep getting duplicate clients
- AurenWell auto-dedupes by email. If your form doesn't collect an email, AurenWell can't tell two submissions apart and will create both.
