• Zapier: Connect OpnForm to over 2,000 apps using Zapier. Automate repetitive tasks like adding form submissions to a CRM, creating tasks in project management tools, or sending follow-up emails—all without writing a single line of code.

• Google Sheets Integration: Automatically send form responses to a Google Sheets spreadsheet. This makes it easy to organise and analyse your data, collaborate with team members, or export information for further use.

These integrations make OpnForm a central hub for managing form data and automating follow-up actions, saving you time and ensuring smooth communication across your tools and platforms.

Once you've built your perfect form, OpnForm offers multiple options to share or embed it directly on your website or across different platforms. Whether you want the form to be seamlessly integrated into your site or shared via social media, OpnForm makes it easy. Here’s how:

Embed Your Form 

One of the most powerful features of OpnForm is the ability to embed your forms directly onto your website. This allows your form to blend smoothly with the rest of your site, providing a seamless experience for visitors.

To embed your form:

• Copy the HTML embed code provided by OpnForm.
• On your website, create a custom HTML block or code block in your page editor.
• Paste the code into the block and save the changes.

Share Link

If you want to share your form quickly and easily, OpnForm provides a unique shareable link. This link can be shared on social media, messaging apps, or even via email. It’s a great option if you don’t need the form directly on your website but still want people to access it from different platforms.

• Simply copy the form’s URL and share it anywhere online.
• Ideal for posting on social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, or sending via email to your audience.

QR Code

• Right-click on the QR code provided by OpnForm and save or copy the image.
• Use this QR code in print materials, presentations, or digital campaigns for easy, on-the-go access to your form.

By offering multiple sharing options, OpnForm ensures you can easily distribute your forms no matter where your audience is. However, embedding the form directly on your website using the HTML code is the most efficient way to provide a professional and integrated experience for your users.

OpnForm’s built-in analytics give you the power to track your form's performance in real time. Whether you’re using forms for lead generation, surveys, or e-commerce, having access to detailed analytics helps you understand how users interact with your forms, and more importantly, how to optimise them for better results.

What OpnForm Analytics Can Do

With OpnForm’s analytics, you can track critical form metrics all in one place, including:

• Total Views: See how many times your form has been viewed.
• Form Submissions: Track the number of users who completed and submitted the form.
• Completion Rate: Understand the percentage of people who viewed and successfully submitted the form. This is a key indicator of form effectiveness.
• Average Completion Time: Discover how long, on average, it takes users to complete your form, helping you gauge its complexity.

By tracking these metrics, you can gain insights into user behaviour and form performance, allowing you to make data-driven decisions that improve user engagement.

Visual Data for Easy Interpretation

OpnForm takes analytics a step further by offering visual representations of your data. The tool automatically generates graphs that display:

• Form Views vs. Form Submissions Over Time: This helps you monitor trends and identify patterns. For example, a sharp increase in views without a corresponding rise in submissions might indicate a problem with the form's design or questions.

• Date Range Filtering: You can select a specific time period to analyze how your form has performed during certain campaigns or promotional efforts.

In the attached image, you can see a real-world example of the Views and Submissions History graph. This graph allows you to visualise how many people have viewed and submitted the form on any given day. For instance, if you notice that a certain promotion increased views but not submissions, you might decide to tweak your form content or layout to boost conversion rates.

If you're an advanced user looking to take your forms to the next level, OpnForm offers powerful customisation tools that allow you to inject custom code into your forms. This Dev Mode feature gives you the flexibility to modify forms beyond standard options, making it ideal for developers or users with coding experience.

Custom Code Injection

One of the standout features of OpnForm is the ability to inject custom CSS and JavaScript directly into your forms. This opens up a world of possibilities for personalising the look, feel, and functionality of your forms.

There’s practically no limit to what you can achieve with custom code. You could:

• Add a custom CSS to change the styling of your forms, giving them a unique design that matches your website’s branding.
• Inject JavaScript to enhance form interactivity or add extra functionality, like pop-ups or animations.
• Integrate third-party tools like Google Analytics to track user activity and submission rates.
• Embed a live chat widget directly within your form, allowing users to get real-time support while filling it out.

How to Add Custom Code:

1. Open the form you'd like to customise in OpnForm.
2. Go to the Settings tab.
3. Locate the Custom Code section.
4. Insert your CSS, JavaScript, or any other script into the designated fields.
5. Save and preview the form to ensure your custom code is working as expected.

This feature is a game-changer for those who want total control over the design and functionality of their forms. Whether you're adding a custom analytics script to monitor your form’s performance or tweaking the layout with CSS, OpnForm’s Dev Mode gives you the tools to create a truly unique user experience.

Note: While the custom code feature is a powerful tool, it’s recommended for users with coding knowledge to ensure no conflicts or errors arise. If you need any help do not hesitate to get in contact and we will be happy to help and write some custom code for you

Creating and designing a form in OpnForm is simple, even if you’ve never built one before. With the intuitive drag-and-drop builder, new AI-powered assistant, and customizable design options, you can quickly create fully functional forms. Follow these steps to build your first form:

Step 1: Access the Form Builder

Once you’ve logged into your OpnForm account and entered your workspace, click on the option to create a new form. You’ll be taken to the form builder, where you can start adding fields and designing the layout.

Step 2: Choose a Template or Use the New AI Assistant ✨

In 2024, OpnForm introduced a powerful AI assistant that can help you build forms in a matter of seconds. Instead of manually adding each field, simply tell the AI what type of form you need—whether it's a contact form, survey, registration form, or something custom. The AI will automatically generate a form for you based on your instructions.

For example, you could type:

• "Create a contact form with name, email, and a message field."
• "I need a customer feedback survey with multiple-choice and rating options."

The AI will build the form, saving you significant time.

Alternatively, if you prefer to start with a pre-built form structure, OpnForm offers a range of templates designed for common use cases. Select a template and customise it to your liking, or start from scratch for a fully customized form.

Step 3: Add Form Fields

Using the drag-and-drop builder, you can easily add any fields the AI might have missed or customise an existing template. Available field options include:

• Text fields for names, addresses, or comments.
• Email fields for collecting user contact information.
• Dropdowns, checkboxes, and radio buttons for multiple-choice selections.
• File upload fields for users to submit images or documents.

Simply drag the fields you need onto the form and arrange them as you like.

Step 4: Customise Your Fields

Once your fields are in place, click on each one to customise it. You can:

• Change the field label to specify the type of information you’re collecting.
• Add placeholder text to guide users.
• Set fields as required to ensure you collect essential data.
• Apply conditional logic to create dynamic forms that adjust based on user responses.

Step 5: Design Your Form

OpnForm offers a range of customization options to ensure your form aligns with your website’s branding. You can:

• Adjust colors for buttons, backgrounds, and text to match your brand.
• Customize fonts to align with your site’s aesthetic.
• Upload your logo to maintain a consistent brand identity.

For advanced users, OpnForm also supports the injection of custom CSS to fully personalise the form’s appearance.

Step 6: Set Up Notifications and Integrations

After designing your form, you can set up how you want to be notified when someone submits it. Options include:

• Email notifications for immediate alerts.
• Slack or Discord notifications to keep your team informed in real-time.
• Google Sheets integration to automatically export form data for easy analysis.

You can also use Webhook and Zapier integrations to connect OpnForm with thousands of other apps, automating tasks and streamlining your workflow.

Step 7: Preview and Test Your Form

Before publishing, use OpnForm’s preview feature to test your form. Ensure that all fields are working correctly, the design looks polished, and notifications are properly set up. Testing helps prevent any issues before your form goes live.

Step 8: Publish and Share Your Form

Once you’re satisfied with the form, hit publish. You can:

• Embed the form on your website by copying and pasting the HTML code.
• Share the form via a direct link through email, social media, or messaging apps.
• Generate a QR code for users to scan and access the form easily.

With the addition of the AI assistant ✨ in 2024, building forms has never been faster or easier. Whether you use AI, templates, or the drag-and-drop builder, OpnForm gives you the tools to create and design forms that meet all your website’s needs.

OpnForm is not just a form builder—it’s a tool that can significantly enhance the functionality of your website. By incorporating OpnForm into your site, you can streamline communication with your audience, capture valuable data, and improve overall user experience. Here are some practical ways OpnForm can benefit your website:

Lead Generation

One of the most common uses for OpnForm is creating forms that help you capture leads. By embedding a lead capture form on your homepage or landing pages, you can collect essential information from potential customers, such as their name, email, and interests. With OpnForm's conditional logic and custom fields, you can create forms that qualify leads based on their responses, ensuring you gather high-quality data.

For example, you can set up forms for:

• Newsletter sign-ups to grow your email list.
• Consultation requests for potential clients.
• Event registrations or webinar sign-ups.

Customer Feedback

Understanding your audience’s needs is crucial for growth, and OpnForm makes it easy to gather customer feedback. Whether you want to run customer satisfaction surveys or collect product reviews, OpnForm’s survey and feedback form templates help you get actionable insights quickly.

You can use this feedback to:

• Improve your products or services.
• Address customer pain points.
• Gather testimonials for marketing purposes.

E-Commerce

For online businesses, OpnForm can act as a key tool for boosting conversions. With its ability to create order forms, payment gateways, and even product inquiries, you can collect orders or payment details without needing a separate e-commerce platform. By customizing forms with your branding, you ensure a seamless experience for customers when they submit orders directly from your site.

Use OpnForm to:

• Collect orders or reservations.
• Manage event ticket sales.
• Accept donations or payments through integrated payment forms.

Surveys & Polls

Engage your audience with interactive surveys and polls. This can be an excellent way to gather information on customer preferences, market research, or even fun interactive content to boost engagement on your site. Multi-page forms are especially useful here, helping you break up longer surveys into digestible steps to improve completion rates.

Examples of effective surveys include:

• Customer satisfaction surveys to measure their experience with your business.
• Market research polls to gather insights for launching new products.
• Event feedback forms to understand what worked and what didn’t after an event or webinar.

Automation for Better User Experience

With integrations like Slack, Google Sheets, and Zapier, OpnForm can automate much of the manual work typically associated with form submissions. For example, once a user submits a form, the data can automatically be sent to Google Sheets for easy tracking, or your team can receive instant notifications on Slack or Discord to take action right away.

This automation allows you to:

• Save time by reducing manual data entry.
• Respond faster to customer inquiries.
• Organize form submissions in one central location for easy analysis.

By utilising these features, you can turn OpnForm into a powerful tool for lead generation, customer engagement, and data collection. No matter what your business needs are—OpnForm offers versatile solutions to improve your website’s performance and connect with your audience more effectively
