šŸŽ„ Introduction to Customer Forms (w/video)

This guide introduces Customer Forms: what they collect, the main ways you can use them, and what a form looks like when you set it up and to customers.

Written by Costa Bontioti

šŸ“ Overview

Customer Forms collect information from your customers using Customer Fields. Customers submit forms during signup, registrations, and purchases, and the data they enter saves to their profile and throughout your account for you to review.

You can create as many of your own forms as you like. This guide introduces what forms are and the main ways you can use them.


šŸ’” What you can do with forms

Forms are flexible and can be used in a number of ways. Here are three of the most common.

Target specific registration or purchase types

Forms can be set to apply to particular registrations or purchases, so you collect the right information based on how a customer engages with your business. For example, you might collect detailed information from customers on a foundations course, a pre-natal class, or a personal training session, while collecting only minimal information from free trial customers.


Ask customers to resubmit periodically

Forms can be set to expire so customers complete them again from time to time. For example, you might collect a customer's medical status once a year to keep it current.


Store form data on the customer profile

When customers submit forms, they are setting values for Customer Fields directly. That data is then accessible throughout your account, on the customer profile, in exports, and elsewhere.
