Form Builder

Adding Form Elements

Form elements are the basic units of a form. They are the information your visitors will fill out. You can add form elements to collect text, emails, dates, multiple choice answers, numbers, and more. To add a new form element, open the Form section, under Form Elements, click Add Element. Then select the type of element you want from the emerging window.

Setting Up Email Alerts

You’ll probably want to receive emails when a visitor fills out your form. You can set this up in the POWR Editor in the Settings section. Under Notifications, click Email to Form Admin and enter your email address in the field provided beneath Send Submission Notification to:

Advanced Options 

Requiring Payments

POWR Forms accept payments through PayPal, which means customers can pay with their PayPal account, or with their credit card. You can accept payments through any POWR Form. Just go to the Payment section and switch the toggle to On the Require Payment option.

A new set of subsections will appear. Click into each section and fill out the necessary details to sell your product or service. The default settings will create a one-time payment, for selling a single product at a single price. However, you can also set up the form to accept donations or create recurring subscriptions where a customer pays you automatically every day, week, month, etc. You can also add pricing options with a multiple choice question (see above), so that customer choices will change the final price.

Connect to MailChimp

You can connect POWR forms to MailChimp, to easily create or grow your mailing lists. To connect MailChimp, go to the Settings section and under Integrations and click MailChimp. Next, click the Connect a MailChimp List and a new window will pop up for you to log into MailChimp and select the correct MailChimp list.

Once your list is connected, you’ll need to go through your Form Elements and enter the desired MailChimp MERGE tags in the box provided to send that information to the MailChimp lis connected.

Conditional Logic

Conditional logic is a tool that allows you to create smarter forms that respond to choices made by your visitors. New form elements are displayed based on a visitor’s selections to previous questions.

You can think of conditional logic as a tree, where each fork leads to a different set of branches. The rules you create determine which branch a visitor goes down, based on the choices they make. Currently, rules can only be made for an answer to multiple-choice types of questions. Conditional logic is an upgraded feature and is not available in the free version of POWR Forms.

Auto-fill feature in FormBuilder app

POWR Forms can be auto-filled with inputs saved to a browser (i.e. first name, address, email). However, this is not a feature of the POWR app itself.

At this time, there is not an autofill feature in the Form Builder plus app. If a form respondent has autofill settings enabled in their browser, the Form Builder app will recommend information saved from their autofill settings.

To turn off auto-fill in browsers please see this links below:
