How to automate this scenario? Is there a tutorial for it?

How can I do this following scenario.

  1. Extract responses from a JotForm form ( 30 questions with scale ratings of 1-10 + 2 text based answers) including the name & email of the user.

  2. Add each result to an existing excel sheet to predefined cells in columns so that existing charts get updated with the form numbers.

  3. Generate a pdf of the excel charts using tools like pdf .co

  4. Send it to the user who filled the JotForm form via email.

Yes, that is possible. You’ll need a minimum of six modules:

Thanks for your reply!

I added the modules like you said. How can i add the form answers to excel sheet horizontally so it can fill the columns? Also whats the iterator & tools module for? what do i have to add to them?

The intention of the automation is that every time a user fills our form it automatically adds the answer numbers/ text to the correct cells horizontally, generates the graphs then sends it to them via email.

Here are the screenshots of what im trying to achieve.



You might not need the Iterator and Aggregator if your answers are already in an array.

To map values in arrays,

This will allow you to extract each answer into each column field.

So i mapped the answers to each cell but i can see it generates all the old jotform form user submissions and then stops at the latest one inside the cell. Is there a way where i can generate just the latest form submission. Also its not adding the correct email and name to the excel sheet.
