How to Connect Zapier with Wix and Automate Your Website in
Are you tired of manually transferring data from your Wix forms to spreadsheets or CRMs? This step-by-step guide shows how to connect Zapier with Wix to automatically capture leads, process orders, and sync customer data - saving 5+ hours per week on administrative tasks.
Why Automate Your Wix Website?
Most Wix website owners waste countless hours manually transferring data between their site and other business tools. Every form submission requires copying information to spreadsheets. Each new customer means manually adding contacts to your CRM. These repetitive tasks not only consume valuable time but also introduce human error into your data.
By connecting Zapier with Wix, you can eliminate these manual processes completely. The integration works silently in the background, instantly moving data where it needs to go the moment an action occurs on your website. This means no more missed leads, no duplicate data entry, and no late-night spreadsheet updates.
Businesses automating Wix with Zapier save an average of 5-10 hours per week on administrative tasks while reducing data entry errors by up to 90%. The setup takes less than 15 minutes but delivers ongoing time savings every single day.
Step 1: Connect Your Wix Account to Zapier
Before creating any automations, you need to establish the connection between your Wix site and Zapier. This one-time setup grants Zapier permission to access your Wix data securely.
- Log in to your Zapier account at zapier.com
- Click on your profile icon and select "Connected Accounts"
- Click the "+ Add Connection" button
- Search for "Wix" and select it from the app directory
- A new window will open prompting you to log in to your Wix account
- After logging in, select the specific Wix site you want to connect
- Click "Authorize" to grant Zapier access to your Wix data
Pro Tip: If you manage multiple Wix sites, you'll need to connect each one separately in Zapier. Give each connection a descriptive name like "Wix - Main Site" or "Wix - Client Portfolio" for easy identification later.
Step 2: Create Your First Zap
With your accounts connected, you're ready to build your first automation (called a "Zap" in Zapier terminology). Think of a Zap as a simple "if this happens, then do that" rule for your website.
- From your Zapier dashboard, click "+ Create Zap"
- Give your Zap a descriptive name like "Wix Form to Google Sheets"
- Search for and select "Wix" as your trigger app
- Choose the specific trigger event (like "New Form Submission")
- Select the Wix account connection you created earlier
At this point (around 1:45 in the video tutorial), you'll see options to specify which exact form, store, or component on your Wix site should trigger the automation. This ensures your Zap only runs when the specific action you want occurs.
Step 3: Set Up the Wix Trigger
The trigger is the event that starts your automation. For Wix, common triggers include:
- New Form Submission: When someone submits a contact form, lead gen form, or survey
- Order Placed: When a customer completes a purchase in your Wix store
- New Contact: When someone joins your mailing list or member area
- New Blog Post: When you publish new content on your Wix blog
After selecting your trigger type, you'll need to:
- Choose the specific Wix component (like which exact form or store)
- Click "Test Trigger" to pull sample data from your Wix site
- Review the sample data to ensure Zapier is receiving the correct information
- Click "Continue" to proceed to the action setup
Important: Always test your trigger before setting up actions. This verifies Zapier can access your Wix data correctly and shows you exactly what information will be available for mapping in the next steps.
Step 4: Configure the Action App
Now that your trigger is working, it's time to tell Zapier what to do with the Wix data. This is where you'll connect to apps like Google Sheets, Mailchimp, or Slack to automatically receive your website information.
- Click "+ Add Action" in your Zap
- Search for and select your destination app (like "Google Sheets")
- Choose the specific action (like "Create Spreadsheet Row")
- Connect your action app account if not already linked
- Map the Wix data fields to the appropriate fields in your action app
Field mapping is where the real magic happens. For example, you might map:
- Wix form "Email" field → Mailchimp "Subscriber Email" field
- Wix order "Product Name" → Google Sheets "Item Purchased" column
- Wix contact "Phone Number" → Slack notification message
After mapping your fields, run another test to verify the data flows correctly to your action app. The video tutorial shows this process clearly at the 3:10 mark.
Step 5: Test and Publish Your Zap
Before going live with your automation, it's crucial to test the complete workflow from trigger to action. Zapier makes this easy with its built-in testing tools.
- Click "Test & Review" to execute a full test of your Zap
- Check your action app (like Google Sheets or Mailchimp) to confirm the test data arrived correctly
- If anything looks wrong, go back and adjust your field mappings
- Once satisfied, click "Publish" to activate your Zap
- Toggle the switch at the top from "Off" to "On"
Your automation is now live! Zapier will monitor your Wix site for the trigger event and automatically execute your configured action each time it occurs. You can always edit, pause, or turn off your Zap later from the Zapier dashboard.
Monitoring Tip: For the first few days, check your action app periodically to ensure data is flowing as expected. Zapier also sends email notifications if any errors occur in your automations.
5 Powerful Wix Automation Workflows
Now that you understand the basics, here are five of the most valuable automations our clients implement between Wix and other apps:
1. Contact Form to CRM
Automatically add new form submissions to your CRM (like HubSpot or Salesforce) with all their details. Never miss manually adding a lead again.
2. Online Order Notifications
Get instant Slack or Teams messages when orders come through your Wix store, including customer details and purchased items.
3. Blog Post Social Sharing
Automatically share new Wix blog posts to your social media accounts with customized messages for each platform.
4. Appointment Reminders
For Wix Bookings users, automatically send SMS or email reminders 24 hours before scheduled appointments.
5. Membership Sync
Keep your email lists updated by automatically adding/removing Wix Members Area users from your email marketing tool.
Advanced Idea: Combine multiple Zaps to create sophisticated workflows. For example, a Wix form submission could trigger: 1) CRM contact creation, 2) Welcome email, 3) Internal notification, and 4) Task creation - all automatically.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
While the Wix-Zapier integration is generally reliable, here are solutions to common problems you might encounter:
Trigger Not Firing
If your Zap isn't activating when expected:
- Verify you selected the correct Wix component (specific form/store)
- Check that your Wix connection is still active in Zapier
- Ensure the Zap is turned on (the toggle switch should be green)
Missing Data Fields
If some information isn't transferring:
- Re-test your trigger to refresh available fields
- Check if the field exists in your Wix component settings
- Remap the missing fields in your Zap's action step
Duplicate Entries
If you're seeing repeats in your action app:
- Add a filter step to check for existing records before creating new ones
- Use Zapier's deduplication features in premium plans
- Adjust your trigger settings to run less frequently
For persistent issues, Zapier's help center offers detailed troubleshooting guides and their support team can investigate specific Zap errors.

If you modify your Wix form fields after creating a Zap, you'll need to update the field mappings in Zapier. The system will alert you if it detects missing fields during a test. Simply remap the new fields to maintain your automation.
To minimize disruptions, we recommend testing any form changes in a staging environment first, then updating your production form and Zapier mappings simultaneously during low-traffic periods.
- Zapier detects missing fields during tests
- Field mappings can be updated in existing Zaps
- Historical data remains unaffected by changes
