Yes — with one small detour. Mailpro automations do not yet have a native "form submitted" trigger, but you can connect any Mailpro form to an automation in two steps: tell the form to add the new contact to a list (or apply a tag), then run your automation on that list-add or tag-add event. The contact experience is identical to a direct form trigger.

Key takeaway: use the form to set a tag or join a list; use the automation to react to that signal. Same outcome, available today.

How to bridge a form into an automation

In the form builder, configure the success action to either subscribe the contact to a specific list or apply a tag like quote-requested or signed-up-webinar. On the automation side, choose the Subscribe trigger (for list-add) or the Tag trigger (for tag-add) and point it at the same list or tag. Activate. The next form submission triggers your automation immediately.

No form yet? You can create an online form in Mailpro first, set its success action to add a tag or join a list, and connect it to your automation as described above.

What this gives you

This pattern unlocks every automation Mailpro supports today: a welcome email after a contact form, a follow-up SMS after a webinar signup, a sales alert internally after a quote request. You can also keep the form’s built-in email confirmation and email alert to you independently of the automation, so the same submission can power both.

When the native form trigger arrives

A direct "Form submitted" automation trigger is on the roadmap. Until then, the tag/list bridge is the recommended path — we use it ourselves for our own automations.

Connect any form to an automation today

Pick a form on the Mailpro forms page, configure it to assign a tag to the contact, then build the automation against that tag using the available automation triggers.
