    Create a form for your members

    Create custom forms or surveys to get information from your members on a variety of topics, from what they want to see on your channel to collecting T-Shirt sizes. This is an incredibly personalized way to build community with your members.

    Not only will your members feel like you are going above and beyond, but you get to learn more about your audience in their words.

    To create and enable your form, follow these steps:

    1. Enable this connection by tapping on Connect. You will be prompted to authenticate your YouTube account and a Google account. These will make it possible for the automation to work. Once authenticated, you will be redirected to the form setup. Customize the form to collect relevant data. You have the ability to customize the following fields:
    • Your Channel name should be the name of your channel. This will be displayed to Members filling out the form.

    • Fields (optional): The Connection comes with four prefilled fields, including full name, shipping address, email address, and phone number. Check the boxes depending on which information you would like requested in the form

    • Additional fields (optional): Modify this trigger field by adding additional information they’d like to request from their members. These items need to be separated by commas. For example: “Shirt Size, Shirt Style, Shirt Color”

    • Form description (optional): This field will display additional information on the form that users will see. It can be used to describe why you are requesting this information. EG “This form is being used to gather information for my Raffle for Tier 3 members that will take place on October 31st”

    • Toggle member form submission email (optional): If you check this box you will receive an email notification every time a member fills out their form.

    • Spreadsheet name: This field is used to name the Google Sheet that will be saved in your drive. This sheet contains member responses.

    • Drive Folder Path (optional): You can customize where the Sheet is stored in your drive. If left blank it will default to a folder titled “IFTTT”

    1. After entering the information above and clicking “Save”, you will receive a URL link to the form you created, and Information on where in your drive the Google Sheet was created.
    2. Start sending out this form by sharing the URL link to a members-only post in the Community tab, comments, or your perk instructions.

    Get your member list in a csv document at any time by using this easy automation. Use the steps below to make it happen.

    1. Click the connection on IFTTT or use this link from the connection description.
    2. Insert your Google email address and follow the authentication process for Google Drive.
    3. After authorizing your Youtube and Google Drive accounts, you will see a screen that allows you to start an export.
