Topic: Contact forms

How do you get contact form messages sent to yourself without web resources, and not just by populating the users existing email on phone,tablet or pc.

Re: Contact forms

When I was using WebPlus, I used Forms To Go and found it brilliant.

I have now switched to WYSIWYG Web Builder 20, which has forms built in, but I am thinking of integrating Forms To Go again.

Re: Contact forms

I was just looking at renewing the Forms To Go licence and their website seems to have been compromised, so I think maybe give it a miss!

Welcome to my merry little band, Peter! Thanks for joining us here.

Tectite FormMail is an option if your hosting package supports PHP. Setup is quite complicated, but Frank Browne (‘Frank B.’ on the old Serif forums) wrote a comprehensive script configuration guide which he kindly permitted me to share: you can read it here.

Re: Contact forms

If you’re happy to use a solution hosted somewhere other than your own website — and why wouldn’t you be, if you were happy to use Serif Web Resources (SWR)? — then Cognito Forms is worth a look. It’s free for individual users.

Hi Afred
I'm looking at that option for my forms at the moment.  I'm not entirely sure what that option entails.  Are you putting a link on your site that the customer goes to the Cognito Site to complete the form, or can you make the form appear on your web plus site and then be sent to your email?

Thanks for clarifying

Cognito Forms provides three options for embedding a form. If you choose one of those, visitors won’t have to navigate away from your site to fill it out.

Hi Ali,

Why would you use' forms to go' when WYSIWYG Web Builder has php built into the forms, if you want to use it.

That’s a good question, Joe, if somewhat moot now.

Because it had absolutely fantastic customisation features, the like of which WWB built-in forms do not have at the moment. But as Alfred has noted, it's now moot.
