Conditional Salesforce Record Creation
Rename your form, we will call our form "Weekly Class".
Add at least one page to your form. We will add one called "Class Details" and click the "+" button to create it.
Drag and drop a Salesforce Lookup field on your form. We will use the Event object on Salesforce to record our class attendance and link this to an existing Contact record.
Click the pencil icon to edit the Salesforce lookup field.
Select an object you would like to use for the lookup, this will allow you to search for any record under this object. In our case we will name the Label as Contact and will link it to the Contact object.
Now drag and drop a "CheckBox" field. We will use this to create a new Contact if the Contact was not found via the lookup. Click the pencil button and rename the field. This field will be used to control the new Contact field visibility on the form.
Drag and drop a "Text Field", rename as "First Name". Press "Add Controlling Field" under "Controlling Field" select "Create New Contact?" and under "Show If" select "Yes" then press "Add".
Drag and drop another "Text Field", rename as "Last Name". Press "Add Controlling Field" under "Controlling Field" select "Create New Contact?" and under "Show If" select "Yes" then press "Add".
Drag and drop a "Header" field, we will rename it as "Class Information".
Drag and drop a "Text Field", we will rename it as "Class Name".
Drag and Drop two "DateTime" fields. Rename one for "Start Date&Time" and second for "End Date&Time".
When finished, click the "Save & Close" button.
Now we will need to add two Salesforce connections, one for the Contact record that will be created if existing is not found via the Salesforce lookup and the second one for the new Event record that will be linked with the new or existing Contact. Click "Add" under the connection column.
Select Salesforce from the available connections list and click "Create Connection".
First we will create a "Contact" connection to create a Contact record when a form entry is captured and existing Contact is not found. Select "Contact" from the "Salesforce Object" list and click "Save".
The Contact connection "Insert Sequence" will need to be "1", this will insure that the Contact is made prior to the Event.
Select "Contact" under "Skip If?" this will insure that new Contact will not be created if it already exists and was found using the Contact lookup on the form.
Click "Save" when done.
On the first connection we will map our Contact's "First Name" and "Last Name" to create a new Contact on Salesforce if the Contact was not found via the lookup.
Check if the mappings are correct.
When mapping is done click "Back to Connections" button to make second connection.
Select Salesforce from the available connections list and click "Create Connection".
On the second connection we will create an Event on Salesforce that will be populated with the Class Details.
First, update the "Insert Sequence" to "2", so that the Event record is created after the Contact record.
Click "Save" when done.
Map the Formyoula "Contact" field to the Salesforce "Contact/Lead ID (WhoId)".
Map Formyoula [New Contact (Seq. 1)] field to the Salesforce "Contact/Lead ID (WhoId)" field.
Map the Formyoula "Class Name" field to the Salesforce "Subject" field.
Map the Formyoula "Start Date&Time" field to the Salesforce "Start Date Time" field.
Map the Formyoula "End Date&Time" field to the Salesforce "End Date Time" field.
Check if the mappings are correct.
Go back to the Formyoula Dashboard when done.
On the Formyoula Dashboard, click the "Try" button to launch the Mobile Web App.
Select the newly created form.
Use the Salesforce Lookup Object to search for Contacts.
Tick the "CheckBox" to create a new Contact if Contact was not found via the lookup.
Press "Submit" when it is completed.
Now when you open Salesforce you will be able to find the Event for an existing Contact under the "Activities", or you will be able to find the newly created Contact with the Event under the "Activities".
