Automate Jotform

Jotform collects orders, registrations and requests; the work starts once a submission arrives. Have each entry emailed to you with its field labels intact, posted to your team's Slack channel, or counted per form in a Monday report. Describe what you want to your AI assistant, check what it will do, and it keeps running.

Try asking

Create a ClickRuntime automation: whenever someone submits my Jotform "Catering Order" form, email me their answers with the field labels, and put the customer's name in the subject.

Paste it into your assistant. It tells you what it will send or change before it runs live.

Ideas

What you can automate in Jotform

Submissions that reach your inbox or Slack the moment someone presses submit, and a weekly tally of how each form is doing. These are ready-made starting points. Anything else you can describe works too.
The moment it happens

Get each Jotform submission by email

Every new entry on your form arrives in your inbox as a tidy list of question labels and answers.

Any other automation you can describe in words

Your own rules, schedule and AI steps with Jotform, plus any other app. Describe it and your assistant builds it.

Build your own

Build any Jotform automation you can describe

The ideas above are ready-made starting points, not a fixed list. Describe what Jotform should do in your own words, with your conditions, other apps or an AI step, and your assistant writes it, tests it and runs it on ClickRuntime.

  • Your own rules

    Conditions, thresholds, filters and exceptions, written the way you'd explain them to a colleague.

  • Any number of apps

    One automation can read from one app and update several others. Over 248 apps are ready, and anything with an API works too.

  • AI where it helps

    Summaries, classification, extraction and drafts use ClickRuntime's built-in AI, with no extra key.

  • On a schedule or on each event

    Runs as often as every 5 minutes, or the moment an app sends an event, and keeps track of what it already handled.

For example, ask your assistant

When a new Jotform order submission arrives, check the quantity and delivery date, and email me only if the order is over 50 units or due within 48 hours.

When someone submits my Jotform registration form, add them to Google Sheets with the date, and mark duplicates that used the same email.

When a Jotform service request comes in, have AI classify the urgency, create a Trello card in the right list, and send the customer a Gmail confirmation with the expected response time.

Beyond chat

Have Jotform work when you're not in the chat

Connecting Jotform to ChatGPT or Claude lets you ask about it while you chat. ClickRuntime handles the part that should happen on its own: checks on a schedule and actions on each new event, set up from the same chat and running after you close it.

Setup

Connect Jotform

Jotform connects with an API key you create in your own Jotform account. You choose whether the key can only read or can also make changes, such as adding a webhook to a form.

Jotform

Forms & surveys

  1. In Jotform, open Settings and then API.
  2. Click Create New Key and set its permission to Full Access if the automation should react to submissions instantly, or Read Access if it only needs to report.
  3. Copy the key and note whether your account is on the standard, EU or HIPAA region.
  4. In the ClickRuntime dashboard, open Connections & secrets and save the key as a secret for Jotform, with your account's region.

Good to know

Jotform limits that affect automations

  • Jotform accounts live in one region: standard, EU or HIPAA. Calls to the wrong region fail, so the automation needs to know which one yours uses.
  • Jotform caps API calls per day, and the cap depends on your plan. Lower plans have a tight cap, so a report that reads many forms is better run weekly than hourly.
  • Reacting to each new submission as it arrives needs a key with Full Access, because the automation adds a webhook to your form. A Read Access key can still pull submissions on a schedule.

FAQ

Questions about automating Jotform

What can ClickRuntime do in my Jotform account?
What your API key allows. With Read Access it can list your forms and read their submissions. With Full Access it can also add a webhook to a form so new entries arrive straight away.
Does it work with Jotform EU or HIPAA accounts?
Yes. Those accounts use their own API address, so tell ClickRuntime which region your account is in when you connect it.
How fast do new submissions come through?
With a Full Access key, a webhook on the form sends each submission the moment it's made, so the email or Slack post follows straight away.
Will a weekly report use up my API calls?
It reads your forms and last week's submissions once a week, which is a small number of calls. If you're on a lower plan, avoid running reports every few minutes.
Do I need AI for these automations?
No. Forwarding submissions and counting them work without it. If you add a summary or a score, it uses the AI that comes with every ClickRuntime plan, so you don't need your own AI key.
Is this a Jotform connector for ChatGPT or Claude?
Not for chatting with Jotform data. A chat connector lets your assistant read and change Jotform while you're in the conversation. ClickRuntime is for the work that should happen without you: you set up an automation from the chat once, and it keeps running on a schedule or on each Jotform event.
