How to connect Softr and Creatomate
Create a New Scenario to Connect Softr and Creatomate
In the workspace, click the “Create New Scenario” button.
Add the First Step
Add the first node – a trigger that will initiate the scenario when it receives the required event. Triggers can be scheduled, called by a Softr, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, Softr or Creatomate will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Softr or Creatomate, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.
Add the Softr Node
Select the Softr node from the app selection panel on the right.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Softr, Creatomate, and any additional nodes, don’t forget to save the scenario and click "Deploy." Activating the scenario ensures it will run automatically whenever the trigger node receives input or a condition is met. By default, all newly created scenarios are deactivated.
Test the Scenario
Run the scenario by clicking “Run once” and triggering an event to check if the Softr and Creatomate integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Softr and Creatomate (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Softr and Creatomate
Softr + Creatomate + Airtable: When a new form is submitted in Softr, a personalized video is automatically generated in Creatomate using the submitted data. The data, along with the Creatomate video URL, is then stored in Airtable.
Creatomate + Softr + Google Sheets: When a new render is completed in Creatomate, its URL is posted to Softr and the view counts and engagement metrics are updated in a Google Sheet.
