How to Use Zapier with Squarespace: Automate Your Squarespace Workflow with Zapier

You don’t have time to copy-paste data across ten apps. No one does. That’s why Zapier exists- to connect the tools you already use and make them talk to each other without you getting in the middle. And if you’re using Squarespace to run your website, online store, or portfolio, you’re going to want this power-up.

Here’s the deal: Squarespace doesn’t natively support Zapier, but there’s a way around that-and it’s faster than you think.

Zapier is a no-code automation platform that lets you link Squarespace with apps like Google Sheets, Slack, Mailchimp, Notion, HubSpot, and thousands more. Want to send an automatic thank-you email when someone fills out your contact form? Done. Need to auto-add orders to your CRM? Easy. Want your site to whisper sweet updates into your project management tool? You got it.

So how does it work?

Zapier runs on "Zaps"-these are automations built from a trigger (like someone submitting a form on your site) and one or more actions (like sending a Slack message or adding a row to a spreadsheet). Once you’ve connected Squarespace to Zapier via third-party tools or workarounds, the rest is plug-and-play.

Here’s how to get started using Zapier with Squarespace:

1. Choose a Trigger on Your Squarespace Site

Squarespace doesn’t have direct integration with Zapier, so you’ll use form submissions as your trigger. When someone fills out a form on your site (contact form, newsletter signup, application, etc.), that form data needs to go somewhere Zapier can grab it.

You have two main options:

• Google Sheets: Set your Squarespace form to send submissions to a Google Sheet, which is compatible with Zapier.
   
• Zapier Email Parser: Set your form to email submissions to a special Zapier parser email address.

Either of these will create a trackable, automation-ready trigger.

2. Build a Zap in Your Zapier Account

Head to zapier.com and sign up (it’s free for basic use). Click "Create Zap".

• Set your Trigger App to Google Sheets (if using Sheets) or Email Parser by Zapier (if using the parser).
   
• Configure the trigger to look for new rows or new emails.
   
• Test the trigger to make sure Zapier is getting the correct data.

At this point, you’ve connected your Squarespace form to the automation pipeline.

3. Choose an Action

Here’s where Zapier shows off.

You can now pick from 5,000+ apps to do something when a form is submitted. Examples:

• Add a contact to Mailchimp
   
• Send a Slack notification
   
• Create a new lead in HubSpot or Salesforce
   
• Post a message in Discord
   
• Add a task to Asana or Trello
   
• Send a personalized email from Gmail

It’s plug-and-play. Customize the action using the fields Zapier pulled from your Squarespace form.

4. Test It Like You Mean It

Don’t just click and pray. Hit that “Test Zap” button. Make sure your form submission shows up where you want it to.

If it doesn’t, fix your trigger or tweak the formatting. Debugging now will save you a headache later.

5. Turn It On and Walk Away

Once everything works, name your Zap and flip the switch.

Congratulations-you just built an invisible robot that handles your website grunt work.

Conclusion: This Is What Freedom Feels Like

Using Squarespace with Zapier is like hiring a personal assistant who never sleeps, doesn’t mess up, and costs less than your Spotify subscription. It’s not about being fancy-it’s about saving your sanity. One form, one zap, and suddenly your team knows what’s going on, your CRM’s updated, your customers feel heard, and you? You didn’t lift a finger.

You’ll wonder how you ever lived without it. Squarespace gives you a beautiful site. Zapier gives it brains.

Ready to automate the boring stuff? Good. Let’s go.
