I have built a multi-page form that uses a table. I want each page to add to a single row in the table, but its creating a new row for each page. How am I suppose to built it so its a multi page form?

Hi @ZapSolar 

Each form would need a common unique value submitted.

Then a Zap can be used to find/create + update a Zapier Table record.

Help article about using Forms in Zapier Interfaces: https://help.zapier.com/hc/en-us/articles/15927500577037-Use-forms-in-Zapier-Interfaces#h_01HMYBM0PYHZ2494JTY4N18FBY

Reference the section about prefilling fields and passing along data.

I'm not sure what you mean by ‘Each form would need a common unique value submitted.’ is this related to the Reference Id of the field itself or something else? 

can provide some more details on that?

 

Also, the link you included:

If Form 1 is submitted and Form 2 is submitted, then both of those need to have a common unique value to use to merge those records into 1 record.

Think of it as some value that is pass from Form 1 to Form 2.

 

For the Zapier Interface Form, configure the “Actions” tab to pass along data.

@Troy Tessalone 

Much thanks for your help so far, I’ve been able to pass all the values along each page  of the form (which is a little buggy but works for most field types). 

How would you go about handling the duplicate entries that occur with this method of passing values along?
