Forms are used on every interactive Website on the Net to collect data from users & enable them to engage in useful ways with the Site. All developers need to construct their code in a manner which completes the process from form input to information that can be used as a communication tool between the user & the Site owner. That said, forms are a major ‘pain point’ for any developer, they are the single most hated aspect of developing applications, while also, the most unavoidable.
Getform, a Web based application, assists developers by offering a system that eliminates the need to process forms in order to store user’s data. The application collects information from forms published on any Website, & makes the data available in a variety of useable formats – downloadable info sheets, exportable inter-app compliant transports, shareable emails.
The app integrates seamlessly with Zapier, the most commonly used inter-app communication tool, meaning that collected information is instantly available on more than 1000 other connected applications, which Web developers might need to use.
Form redirects, on completion, take on two cloaks, depending on the payment plan selected – Web developers using the free form processing tool, must be satisfied with forms which redirect to a ‘thank you page’ on Getform’s server, while paid plan users can offer the entire process on their own website, via an Ajax communication feature, which uses Json to submit.
Getform supports file uploads of up to 25MB, per form, so images & other file types can also be collected, for example PDF attachments. The application handles all validation, spam elimination & data sanitizing so that developers can concentrate on more interesting elements & have the tedious task of form construction taken care of.
