Log Every Jotform Submission to Gmail Automatically
Connect Jotform and Gmail in n8n: each new submission is captured and sent straight to Gmail, in real time and completely hands-off.
- 1
Add the Jotform Trigger node
Start with a
Jotform Triggernode — connect your Jotform API key and pick theFormto watch. n8n receives each submission as it happens. This fires the workflow the moment a new submission arrives. - 2
Map the fields with a Set node
Add a
Setnode after the trigger to shape the data cleanly. Create fields:nameto{{ $json.rawRequest.q3_name }},emailto{{ $json.rawRequest.q4_email }}, andsubmitted_atto{{ $now.toISO() }}— match the qN_ keys to your form. This turns the raw payload into tidy values your destination can use. - 3
Send it to Gmail
Add a
Gmailnode set to operationSend. Connect your Google account, setTo,SubjectandMessagefrom the Set-node fields to fire off a clean notification or confirmation email. - 4
Activate and test
Click
Activatein the top-right of the canvas. Trigger a test submission in Jotform, then confirm it appears in Gmail. Once it works, you're done — every new submission now flows through automatically.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need any coding skills to set this up?
No. n8n is a visual, drag-and-drop tool. You connect your Jotform and Gmail accounts, point the nodes at the right form/sheet/channel, map the fields, and activate. No code required.
Can I send each submission to more than one place at once?
Absolutely. Branch the workflow after the Set node: connect it to multiple destination nodes so the same submission lands in Gmail and, say, Slack or a spreadsheet simultaneously.
