Connect form response to a correct line

Long time Monday.com user, first time poster.

I have a little issue I can’t seem to find a fix for.

I have a board, an item populates, say event 1. I have triggered an email to the client of Event 1, using a status column, that has the client fill out a form, helping me gather all the details of the Event 1.

When the client submits their form, it creates a NEW item (and thus a new Event2) and does not connect to the original Event1. Is there a work around or something that I could use that connects the form answers to the original Event1?

Thanks in advance.

I need this very scenario, and just posted a similar question to the group. After seeing the Docgen demo, I feel like there should be a way to divert the response form to the line item, but I haven’t figured it out yet.

Please post if you come up with a solution.

Thanks!

Hey @KellyArco @ChadP

We just officially launched URL Parameters in our monday form builder Easyform, check out our community post here.

This can be used to link Item 2 to Item 1. You can do it by adding a Connected Board Column and pre-populating the form sent by creating Item 1 with that same item.

Check out our documentation on dynamically generating pre-filled forms, and on pre-filling the Connected Board Column.

If you have any issues with setting this up, please contact us at easyformsupport@easyappshq.com or book a call with us, and we will help you set up your boards and forms.

Hey

We developed an app called Google Forms Integration Plus that allows connecting Google Forms to monday.com. Google Forms is a free to use and super powerful and the app offers some advanced capabilities that are missing in monday’s forms.

In this example you can add a response to an existing item by matching the value of the item to the value of one of the answers in the form (like matching item name to a some answer in the form). Here’s an example →

It’s brand new (released last week) and we’re going to keep on adding new capabilities.

You can find it in the monday.com marketplace in the platform or here - Google Forms Integration Plus - monday.com App Marketplace

Hope that helps!
