How to Connect Elementor as Data Source

The integration will allow you to get form data from Elementor, passing it to other systems. For example, you can transfer new data to CRM or GoogleSheets, send it as notifications to a group of managers, so as not to miss a single response in the form. You can also send data in the form to the SMS or Email mailing service. So you can automate the process of processing data on forms as efficiently as possible using the different services that you use.
