Zapier Form Integration on Squarespace
TL;DR:
- Connect Squarespace forms to over 1,000 apps via Zapier for automation
- Available on Core and Commerce Advanced plans
- Works with form blocks, newsletter blocks, and cover page forms only
- Requires generating an API key from Developer tools
- Set up automated workflows to send form data to CRM, email tools, and productivity apps
Setting up Zapier with your Squarespace forms automates what happens when someone submits a form. Instead of manually copying data to spreadsheets or email lists, you can have it happen automatically.
This integration works with form blocks, newsletter blocks, and cover page forms. You can't use it with other types of forms or blocks.
Setting Up Zapier Integration
Step 1: Prepare Your Form
Pick the form you want to connect. This could be a new form or an existing one.
- Click Edit or the pencil icon on your form block
- Go to the Storage tab
- Select Zapier and click Connect
- You'll see a message saying it's waiting for connection from Zapier
Step 2: Generate Your API Key
The API key lets Zapier access your Squarespace forms. Here's how to create one:
- Open your Squarespace dashboard and go to Developer tools
- Select Developer API Keys and click Generate Key
- Give your key a name and select Forms under permissions
- Copy and save your API key somewhere secure
Don't share this key with anyone. It gives access to your form data.
Step 3: Create Your Zap
Now you'll set up the automation in Zapier:
- Sign into your Zapier account (or create one if needed)
- Click Create Zap and select Squarespace as the trigger
- Choose "New Form Submission" as your trigger event
- Enter your Squarespace API key when prompted
Step 4: Set Up the Action
Choose what happens when someone submits your form:
- Pick an app from Zapier's list (like Google Sheets, Mailchimp, or Slack)
- Select what action you want (add to spreadsheet, send email, create task)
- Map the form fields to the right places in your chosen app
Give your forms clear names in Squarespace. This makes them easier to find when setting up Zapier.
Common Use Cases
Email Marketing: Automatically add form submissions to your Mailchimp or ConvertKit lists.

Troubleshooting
If your Zap isn't working, check these common issues:
- Make sure your API key has the right permissions
- Verify the form is properly connected to Zapier in Squarespace
- Check that all required fields are mapped correctly
- Test with a form submission to see if data flows through
