Create Multiple Triggers / 'Multiple Form Submissions' and gather the data from both forms

Hello Zap Community,

I’m currently developing a report for a project, which consists of two main parts:

1. Customer Form: A Fillout form is completed by the customer.
2. Company Review: The submitted data and photos are then manually reviewed by the company. During this step, comments or additional information are added. This could be done by attaching a second form, but it could also be managed via a spreadsheet or another tool, depending on what works best.

Once the company adds its input, we need to pull the data from both the customer’s original form and the company’s additional data in order to proceed with the Zap.

Initially, I planned to create two Fillout forms, but I realized I can only activate one trigger, which prevents me from pulling both forms. Ideally, the workflow would go as follows:

1. The customer fills out the first form.
2. The company reviews and adds any necessary comment in a second form. A filter needs to be added since it only needs to continue if the second form is filled-in.
3. We collect the data from both forms (or sources) and proceed with the automation (Zap) which gathers dynamic data from both sources.

I would appreciate any input or suggestions on how best to proceed. Since I can not add 2 triggers ‘Form submissions’, I’m currently stuck.

Kind regards,  
Floris

Hi @FlorisM 

Try using Airtable as the database to log the submitted data.

Fillout integrates with Airtable to create or update records.

You can have Views in Airtable, which are segments of data. (sort, filter, group, show/hide fields, reorder fields)

Concept would be to have a View with filter conditions that check when the record data is complete.
