Integrate Google Forms into Postgres with the Sort Zapier App
Use Google Forms to add or change data in your Postgres database
Google Forms is a simple yet powerful way to gather data from users. Wouldn’t it be nice if Google Forms could be used to add or change data in your Postgres database? With the Sort Zapier App, you can automate this workflow, ensuring that valuable data collected via Google Forms is seamlessly integrated into your Postgres database. Sort not only facilitates this automation but also introduces modern workflows for managing your most critical and sensitive data with transparency and efficiency.
Why Choose Sort for Your Integration Needs?
Sort is a platform designed to solve one of the biggest challenges in data management: handling valuable, manually managed data changes. Its intuitive, GitHub-style workflows make data updates easy, efficient, and transparent. When paired with Zapier, Sort connects directly to tools like Google Forms, enabling seamless data automation without sacrificing control over critical manual review processes.
Key Features of Sort
Unified Workflow: Centralized platform for proposing, approving, and implementing data changes.
Transparency: Full logging of every data change—what was changed, when, and why.
Seamless Integration: Direct connections to databases, flexible APIs, and out-of-the-box integrations with tools like Zapier.
Data Accuracy: Keep critical data accurate, complete, and up-to-date.
How to Integrate Google Forms with Postgres Using Sort and Zapier
Step 1: Set Up Google Forms
Create a Google Form to collect your desired data, such as survey responses, registrations, or customer feedback. Ensure that the form collects all necessary fields for your database.
Step 2: Connect Google Forms to Zapier
Log in to Zapier and start creating a Zap.
Set Google Forms as the trigger app.
Choose “New Form Response” as the trigger event.
Authenticate your Google account and select the form you want to integrate.
Step 3: Configure Sort as the Action App
Add Sort as the action app in your Zap.
Choose from Sort’s available actions, such as:
Add New Data: Propose and approve new records for insertion into your Postgres database.
Run SQL Query: Execute SQL queries on your Postgres database and retrieve results.
Create Data Issue: Flag data discrepancies or incomplete submissions for review.
Step 4: Authenticate Sort and Map Fields
Ensure your Sort API key has been added to your Zapier app. Adding the Sort Action above will require an authentication test with your API key.
Map the fields from Google Forms (e.g., Name, Email) to the corresponding columns in your Postgres database.
Step 5: Test and Activate
Run a test to ensure the workflow correctly creates a Sort Change Request when a new Google Form submission occurs. If successful, activate the Zap to automate the integration.
Why Sort Stands Out in Data Management
Designed for Critical Data
Sort is ideal for managing data that is too sensitive or valuable to be fully automated. Examples include customer information, operational data, and sensitive PII.
Streamline Manual Data Changes
Propose Changes: Data changes in your Postgres database can be suggested directly from Google Forms submissions.
Review Effortlessly: Admins or engineers can review and approve proposed changes in one click.
Automate Execution: Once approved, Sort automatically applies the changes to Postgres.
Ensure Transparency and Accuracy
Sort keeps a detailed log of every change, creating a transparent and accountable workflow. Teams can see who made changes, what was changed, and why—all within a clean browser-based UI.
Real-World Applications
Customer Support Data: Streamline the process of updating customer records in Postgres based on support tickets collected via Google Forms.
Event Management: Automatically add registration details to Postgres while flagging incomplete entries for manual review.
Data Quality Control: Propose and review updates for sensitive data directly from Sort’s platform, ensuring compliance and accuracy.
