Steps to add form data via e-mail

Overview

Every form in Zoho Creator has its own email address, so you can just sent an email to submit form data. Zoho Creator checks for form updates via e-mail, once in every ten minutes. The data submitted through e-mail will be directly added to your database.

Steps to add form data via e-mail

1. Go to Live mode and select the Form to which a record needs to be added dynamically.
2. Select More Actions -> Email Data option from the form header. The Email Data dialog will be displayed as shown in the screen-shot below:

3. Copy the Email Template and also the e-mail address specified. For example, zohocreator-122@forms.zohocreator.com 
4. Now, specify the above email id as the To address in your email client.
5. In the e-mail message field, specify the message as per the Email Template you have copied.
   

Note:

This feature only works for forms that you yourself create in your own account but once you have the address you can share it with other people who may want to use the form in this way. If the form is Private, only users with whom you have shared the application can send email to the form, and only if they send it from the same personal email address they use in Zoho Creator. If someone without permission to use a private application tries to email one of its forms, they will get a response email explaining that they do not have permission.
