Forms & Surveys
Extended Support for Custom Values in Form/Survey Email Notifications and Auto Responder
What’s New?
Custom Fields and Values for Email Notifications: We have extended our support to include custom fields and custom values in email notifications. This means you can now personalize your email notifications with more tailored and specific information, enhancing the relevance and effectiveness of your communications.
Reply-To Email Field: We’ve added a “Reply-To Email” field for email notifications. This feature allows the user who created the form to set a reply-to email address using a custom field like {{contact.email}}. When a form is submitted, the recipient can immediately reply to the customer’s email, streamlining communication and improving response times.
Setting Custom Fields and Values: When configuring email notifications, you can now include custom fields and values. This allows for a higher level of personalization in the emails sent to your recipients.
Configuring Reply-To Email: In the email notification settings, set the reply-to email address using a custom field (e.g., {{contact.email}}). This ensures that when a user submits a form, the email notification sent to the form creator will have a reply-to address set to the email of the form submitter.
Immediate Reply Capability: With the reply-to email field set, the form creator can immediately reply to the customer’s email, facilitating quicker and more efficient communication.
SMS Verification
This new functionality allows form and survey participants to verify their phone numbers directly within the form or survey, enhancing the integrity of the data collected and providing a more seamless user experience.
What’s New?
SMS Verification Button: A “Verify Phone” button is now displayed next to the phone number input field in forms and surveys.
Verification Code: Users receive a unique verification code via SMS, which they need to enter into the form to confirm their phone number.
Enhanced Data Accuracy: This feature aims to minimize errors and fraudulent submissions by ensuring that the phone numbers collected are valid and accessible by the users.
User-Friendly Process: Designed to be intuitive, guiding users through the verification process smoothly.
Verified Phone Field: In addition to the phone verification feature, we’ve introduced a “Phone Verified” field in form and survey submissions. When a phone number is successfully verified, it will be marked as “Yes” under the “Phone Verified” field, allowing for easy identification of verified phone numbers.
OTP Billing: Please note that OTP messages will be billed.
How It Works:
Users will enter their phone number in the designated field of a form or survey.
Upon entering a valid phone number, the “Verify Phone” button will become visible.
Clicking this button sends a verification code to the user’s phone via SMS.
Users must enter this code back into the form or survey to verify their phone number.
