I want that any user submitting a certain form to start a campaign.

On the builder I see this:

![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/mautic/original/2X/9/9d47c0b04b0514e45b5e70434cadbbf0f97aa707.png)

I’m tempted to select “Campaign forms” but it happens that:

1. The form is not a “campaign form”, it’s a general-purpose form.
2. Existing contacts might submit the form and the tooltip says “upon contact creation” and this would not be true as the contact already existed.

How can I trigger a campaign upon form submission?

It is upon submission actually 🙂  
If you let the campaign be restarted then every time a person submits the form will be restarting the campign.
