Step-by-step forms

Good afternoon.

Today we would like to share with you another improvement, which we have launched in our web forms builder FormDesigner. We are talking about step by step forms.

For the user, a page-by-page form is no different than a multi-page form. That is, the form is broken up into multiple pages. On each page, the user enters his data. Use the Next/Back button to navigate between pages.

If on the first page you ask the user to enter their name and phone number/e-mail, when they go to the next page this data will be saved in the database and they will be available in your statistics. In addition, your integrations will also be triggered and the data will be transmitted there. Knowing your customer's name, you can set up a personalized form and already address them by name on the following pages.

With every new page you enter, your existing data will be updated with the new data entered in the form.

Activate Step-by-Step Form

In order to be able to activate the step-by-step form, you need to add some pages to the form first. After that you will have Parameters of pages available:
