Formsite provides security tools to help form owners protect their visitors and reduce the risk of invalid results. Some tools protect the data while others validate parts of the process. Examples include verifying the format of entered answers like dates and email addresses, and preventing duplicates. The CAPTCHA settings give form owners a way to prevent automated submissions, or “bots”.

Formsite’s email Notifications send emails after each successful result. The recipients can come from the form by the visitor, or defined by the form owner. Sometimes an item with a list of answers has separate recipients for each choice. In that case, the email routing items let the form owner assign one or more addresses for each choice.

Formsite lets form owners collect payments for their orders using one of the integrated payment options. PayPal also offers their advanced payment methods like Venmo, PayPal Credit, and Pay in 4. Form owners can also set up their own ‘buy now pay later’ method and offer the option on any order form.

Formsite forms expand and customize their use through connected services called integrations. These integrations include payment processors, file storage, and virtually any other online service. Occasionally they need attention and troubleshooting integration settings becomes necessary.

Many form owners use tracking scripts on Success Pages to track total submissions and other data. These scripts can simply record when the page loads or pass data through pipe codes for more extensive reporting. Other Success Page scripts perform equations showing scores as percentages, or other formatting uses.

Formsite’s Pre-populate link lets form owners pass data into form fields through the link. As one of the most used features, pre-populating allows for creating custom workflows and personalizing forms. Read on for tips on using the Pre-populate link and resources for more information.

Many Formsite account owners ask about adding Sub-users to the primary account to allow access to form results. Sub-user accounts have access to the form editor, settings, and results for specific forms or all forms. For allowing access to only the results or even filtered results, the Results Reports features are your best bet. Continue reading to learn more.

Formsite form owners who collect payments often find that some visitors do not complete the payments. Filtering completed payments lets form owners receive only those results with successful payments. Use with Workflow, Notifications, exporting, and most integrations to trim invalid results.

A frequent question we receive is how to make form updates without affecting form visitors. Some updates include deleting or changing choices, and those changes may impact Rules logic. See how to maintain and update live forms while causing the least impact.
