I am not receiving email notification when responses are submitted. My collaborator emails are: theparksatcascadehoa@gmail.com brandish999@gmail.com
Login to Formesign > click on the form to open it > Edit page will be displayed > click Responses > In the Responses page, click on the response to view the details > check the Additional details section. Does it display the email address for the Email collaborators option? - By default, it will display the configure link that indicates that the emails have not been set up. - If the emails are configured and sent successfully, email addresses will be displayed. - Otherwise, it will display the error message or 📫 icon next to the email to indicate that the email was not delivered.
I'm looking to automate form filling on a webpage using a spreadsheet of data. Would need to fill in first name, last name, date of birth(MM/DD/YYYY format), select state from dropdown using state initials on spreadsheet, check box, and submit. Very basic and easy process. There's more that can be automated but I don't know if it's even possible, so mainly looking for the basic process described above.
Currently Formesign does not have the option to look up data from Google Sheets. You can only prefill answers in the form.
Hello! I want to hide pre-filled questions, but still be able to edit them via query params just like Google Forms do. Is it possible? For example, Google Forms pre-filled link looks like that: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdViB7phXHT60D65qHfK--A5rwlW9YB8joK1UPYyDv-6dZsew/viewform?usp=pp_url&entry.474072674=test-id&entry.939967952=test-sent-cra Here I can pass params like that: entry.474072674=test-id&entry.939967952=test-sent-cra
Hi Alexander, You can prefill answers in the form by passing values via url parameters similar to google forms. You just have to append the google forms prefill url parameters to the Formesign share link. Google Forms link https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdViB7phXHT60D65qHfK--A5rwlW9YB8joK1UPYyDv-6dZsew/viewform Formesign link https://formesign.com/public/103009116584885149503/home/form/1FAIpQLSdViB7phXHT60D65qHfK--A5rwlW9YB8joK1UPYyDv-6dZsew Append prefill url parameters https://formesign.com/public/103009116584885149503/home/form/1FAIpQLSdViB7phXHT60D65qHfK--A5rwlW9YB8joK1UPYyDv-6dZsew?entry.474072674=test-id&entry.939967952=test-sent-cra If you don't want to autosave responses, you can append &ff-flush=true to the prefilled url. With this setting, the values in the prefill link will override the existing draft if there is a partially filled response. https://formesign.com/public/103009116584885149503/home/form/1FAIpQLSdViB7phXHT60D65qHfK--A5rwlW9YB8joK1UPYyDv-6dZsew?entry.474072674=test-id&entry.939967952=test-sent-cra&ff-flush=true Please try this and confirm.
Hello. Hello, trying to figure out if this will work for our non-profit needs. We need to be able to send a link (to hundreds of people statewide on an ongoing basis) to a letter that they will be asked to read, and to sign if they are in support of it's message. We will ask them to type their first, name, date and zipcode, and then to e-sign the letter. We don't want to get an email everytime someone signs the letter, but we do want people to get an email with a copy of the letter and their signature. We also need to be able to periodically export data from all the signed letters/docs/forms into one sheet that has first, last, date, zipcode AND e-signature all in one row. Can this platform do this?
Hi Anna, you can create a form with the required fields and use Formesign to collect signatures. You can choose the preferred set up from the following options. 1. Send a confirmation email to form respondents with a copy of signed document 2. Receive notification emails for new responses (Skip this option since you don't prefer to receive individual emails) 3. Setup sync to drive option to automatically sync the signed documents to your google drive folder when the user submits the form 4. Sync form responses to google sheets. All the fields in the form are included as columns and each row is a response.
Frequently Asked Questions
Hello! Why do some say completed and others read PAID, I am not understanding the difference. Is there something I need to do?
Hi Katrina By default, there are four order status: Abandoned, Submitted, Completed, Trash. You cannot rename the default status, but you can choose to hide a default status. When you enable automated as well as manual payments in your form, the default order status will include Abandoned, Submitted, Paid, Completed, Trash. Abandoned orders If a user starts filling the form, but does not submit it, it will be displayed in the Abandoned status. These orders will be displayed only in the Neartail Orders page and it will not be included in Reports. Abandoned orders will have * prefixed to the order number in the Neartail Orders page. Submitted orders When the user chooses the automated payment option and submits the form, the order will be displayed under the Paid status. When the user chooses the manual payment option and submits the form, the order will be displayed under the submitted status. Once you verify the payment and update the payment status, it will be moved to the Paid status. These submitted orders will be recorded in Neartail and Google Forms. You can sync Google Forms responses to Google Sheets. Submitted orders will have # prefixed to the order number in the Neartail Orders page. The order numbers should be in sequential order. Trash orders You can move redundant orders to Trash.

Hello, I am getting two errors on my form, when fully submitted, here are two screenshots: 1. Right at submit: https://prnt.sc/C9idKb4uTbtI 2. Another error note, which also happens on submit: https://prnt.sc/d2hkzBekDrAv Thank you!
Submit failed: Not able to update in google forms https://prnt.sc/C9idKb4uTbtI When the user submits the form, the response is recorded in Formfacade and Google Forms. If there are any issues with submitting the form or recording the responses in Google Forms, we show an error message to the user and also send a notification email to the form creator. The submit can fail because there is an issue with the form, internet connectivity issue etc. The notification email will include the error message, draft id, link to the response (abandoned or submitted). If the draft id is prefixed with the *, it indicates that the response has not been submitted. If it is prefixed with a #, it indicates that the response has been submitted. If the error for response shows "Not able to update this response in Google Forms", then this indicates that the submit was successful and the response was recorded in Formfacade, but it was not updated in Google Forms. Google Forms might reject the responses if it fails any response validations (incorrect answers, missing answers for required questions) or if you have enabled any of the features that require signin such as limit to 1 response, collect email address - verified input, send response receipts, response too large etc. You might have also noticed that sometimes Google Forms throws a "Something went wrong" error without giving any additional details. Request entity too large error https://prnt.sc/d2hkzBekDrAv You have added 28 paragraph questions in your form. When the user fills the answer for these paragraph questions along with other required questions in the form, the resulting response exceeds the size limit supported by google forms. That's why you are getting the entity too large error. To fix this, you can add a response validation for these paragraph questions to restrict the max characters or you can enable the option to not record the responses in google forms. Login to Formfacade > click on the form to open it > Edit page will be displayed > In the Formfacade Edit page, click on the form title to select it > click on the settings gear icon > Form settings page will be displayed > click Advanced > enable the toggle button for "Don't submit to google forms" and click Save. When this option is enabled, the responses will be recorded only in Formfacade.
Does this add-on allow a Google Form to be embedded into a website if the file upload feature is part of the form?
Yes, you can use the Formfacade addon to embed a google form with file upload on your website. Google Forms file upload requires login. You must customize your google form using the Formfacade addon to convert this into a html file upload to allow users to upload files without login. You can subscribe to the Formfacade - Embed paid plan. This plan is suitable for occasional light use cases that require collecting files. You get a 10mb max size per file with a total file storage of 1gb. Only the form owner can access the files one at a time after they login with their google account. Formfacade - Embed https://formfacade.com/embed/pricing.html If your requirement is to collect large files and collaborate with your team, you should also subscribe to the file upload plan 10gb, 100gb or 1tb. You can increase the max file size to up to 1gb per file (depends on the plan), the number of files per file upload question, restrict file types, enable unlisted links to allow anyone to access the files, add collaborators to provide access to specific users and use our addon to sync the uploaded files to your google drive.
