No-code communities help people develop their online projects without using code-level programming. Online services like Formsite are no-code tools that build online businesses and other processes. Using a graphical user interface (GUI), Formsite and other no-code services avoid the need for programming skills.

Formsite’s integrations search allows for browsing our native integrations and those provided by Zapier. Using one of Zapier’s 2,000+ services with Formsite lets form owners collect form results to start their custom process. One of the most popular tools available is Office 365, Microsoft’s suite of communication and document applications.

Microsoft Office 365 allows Zapier users to create contacts, trigger emails, and create new calendar events. Our Zapier integration connects Formsite with Office 365 to trigger actions after each new submission.

Send Notifications with Outlook using the Office 365 Integration

Form owners can send Notification emails using Outlook with the integration with Zapier. The steps begin with building the form, then connecting the accounts at Zapier, then making the Zap.

Start with the Form

The process for connecting Formsite to Office 365 starts with the form. Use the form builder to create the form, with Short Answer items for text-based questions like ‘Name’ and ‘Address’.

Be sure to use the ‘Email Address’ item to validate the formatting of email addresses. Use Radio Button, Dropdown, and Checkbox items for multi-select questions.

When the form is complete, click the View Form button to complete a test result. This test result provides sample data for Zapier during the setup process.

We receive many questions from customers and form visitors about data privacy and protection. Some ask if the data collected is secure, and others ask about programs for residents of certain areas.

For example, GDPR stands for General Data Protection Regulation and covers residents of the European Union (EU). CCPA is the California Consumer Privacy Act for customers residing in California. Privacy Shield provides protection for data between EU and Switzerland and USA.

Formsite’s data privacy policy makes it easy to follow these programs. See how Formsite protects customer information and all collected data.

Formsite’s integration with Zapier gives form owners ways to send form data to thousands of other services. Our integrations search area allows for searching by service name or type, then quickly enabling the integration. An example is Basecamp, awesome online project management software for keeping teams on the same page.

Basecamp lets teams view schedules, to-do lists, chats, contribute files, and so much more. See statuses and daily schedules, configure notifications, and set up recurring reminders. With Formsite, the productivity opportunities have never been greater.

Formsite connects with thousands of online services to make custom integrations. Using Zapier with Formsite lets form owners collect data then pass the data to continue the workflow. One of the most powerful tools available is HubSpot, software for online sales, marketing, and customer service.

HubSpot is a place to track online sales and marketing efforts to help grow your business. Their CRM system helps to control leads and contacts, too. Their customizable dashboard and report system is an awesome tool to use with Formsite forms.

Building the system with Zapier to connect Formsite with HubSpot is a snap.

Formsite’s new integrations area allows for browsing 2,000+ possible destination services. Using Zapier with Formsite lets form owners collect data to start their custom process. One of the most powerful tools available is Airtable, a database system for keeping track of anything.

Airtable is an online service that is like a spreadsheet and like a database, but also much different. When you first start with a new Airtable account, the templates seem to be familiar with columns and rows. The deeper you get, the more you see how to connect records to each other beyond normal spreadsheets.

Our Zapier integration connects Formsite with Airtable to create an awesome workflow process. Let's see how it works.

Formsite’s integrations let form owners create custom connections with other online services. As the form collects data, the integrations use the data to perform other actions. Use the new integrations search tool to find new services to use with Formsite forms.

The integrations search tool lets visitors view how other online services can connect with Formsite’s online forms. As a result, our built-in integrations plus Zapier’s most popular Zaps offer connections to over 2,000 services.

Surveys and quizzes can sometimes benefit from showing the form visitor how others answered. For example, consider a survey or voting form with a few options. The survey owner may want to display each option’s status after each result as a pie chart or bar graph. Formsite’s Results Reports let form owners show charts in real-time.

Quiz results can also display immediately to show how the quiz-taker performed. For instance, the Results Reports can show each question as a chart showing the results for each answer. Another option uses Scoring to calculate the overall score and a percentage to assign a grade.

Formsite’s payment integrations allow form owners to collect credit card payments with their online forms. Our Stripe integration is a popular way for form owners to collect payments online from credit cards. In addition to credit cards, Stripe payment methods includes support for other global processors.

These extra settings allow for methods and currencies not supported by the default integration. Targeted primarily to European customers, these settings enable electronic transfers and/or specific regions and banks.

Formsite now supports setting custom days and times for sending Scheduled Exports. Scheduling results exports lets form owners receive periodic exports of form results. Previously, all Scheduled Exports ran at times convenient to the servers. Now form owners set custom Scheduled Export days and times for maximum convenience.

Scheduling exports continues to provide monthly, weekly, and daily options. The new settings also allow for setting specific days and times for each export.
