In this tutorial, we will use the Squarespace New Submission as our sample data. Squarespace doesn’t store the New Form Submissions but instead offers several options on how you can collect the submitted data outside their platform. We will use the Google Drive option and store them in the Squarespace Google Sheet.
- Set Up Google Sheets
- Select Squarespace as the Spreadsheet
- Test the Trigger
- Use PDF.co PDF Filler Function
- Configure PDF Filler with the Google Sheet Data
- Test & Review
- Download PDF and Copy & Paste URL to Browser
