Complete Guide of Using Formify.pro to Collect Form Data
When you have custom form on your website, you will need to connect it with a CRM or host backend and develop a separate admin panel to collect the data.
This demands lots of time, money, and resources.
If you face the same problem, Formify.pro is the one stop solution for it. With Formify.pro, you can collect and store the form data without backend.
Here, we will discuss how to use it.
How to Use Formify.pro?
Here is the step-by-step guide to using this tool.
Step 1: Click on Register
Your first step in using this software will be registering yourself. When you will come to the homepage of Formify.pro, you will see the log in/register button on the right-hand side corner above.
If you have already registered, you need to log in.
Step 2: Register Yourself
As you click on the register button, you will get a sign-up form in which you can submit your information. Formify.pro doesn’t ask for too much information. You just need to give your first name, last name, email id, and country.
Once you enter these data, click on continue.
Step 3: Choose Your Plan
As you click on continue, you will be asked to choose the plan. If you want to first try this tool, you can opt for a free plan. Otherwise, you can choose a basic or professional plan according to your need. Also, note that you will have to pay less if you go for an annual payment.
Here, you can view the plans in detail.
Also, read the privacy policy. Tick the check box and click on the “Proceed to Pay” button. This will lead you to Stripe which is our payment partner. You can complete your purchase there.
Step 4: Get Your Temporary Password
Formify.pro is very caring about cyber security. As you complete the payment or choose the free plan, a temporary password will be sent to your registered email address. If you don’t find the password in the inbox, please check your spam or promotion folder.
Copy the password, press the “Continue” button on the pop-up, and you will be redirected to log in where you can enter your registered email id and temporary password.
Step 5: Build a New Password
As you complete all the above-mentioned processes, you will be asked to create a new secured password. Remember the password you use must contain at least 8 characters, one uppercase letter, one lowercase letter, and a minimum of one special character. You need to use this password onwards.
Once you complete this process, you will arrive at the main dashboard of Formify.pro where you can create different projects as per your selected plan.
Step 6: Create New Project
Once you arrive on the main dashboard, you can create different projects. Just click on “Create New Project”, and enter the project name or your website name.
Step 7: Add Forms
Once the project is created, you need to click on the “Add Form”. Give a name to a form, and enter the domain for which you are using this form. And if you want to redirect your users to other pages after they submit their data, give them its URL.
If you don’t want to bring the user to any other page, you can use our default thank you page which will load on the screen once the user submits their entries.
Step 8: Get The Generated Endpoint
Once you create the form, click on view and get the endpoint of the form. You need to place this endpoint in the action attribute of your form. While doing this, make sure your form uses method="POST". Finally, ensure that each input has a name attribute.
Example
Your form's endpoint is
https://api.forms.com/form_id
