Contact Forms can be a simple way to engage your visitors. The Contact Form widget allows you to build a simple fillable form. Any Contact Form Widget used on the site will store the responses right on the Dashboard. When you login, before you click on Edit Site, you can find the Form Responses beneath the Statistics. From the here you can select the form from the dropdown and view the responses as well as export them.
Form responses can also be set to trigger an email for New Submission Notifications and can be integrated to populate a Google Sheet.
This is a code that measures interactions with the website specifically this form. It helps track conversions and how those interactions are helps to meet goals you have setup in your analytics tool.
The Contact Form widget is a "Basic Form Editor" with very basic options. It does not connect to payment gateways, nor does it allow for logic-based questions. If you are looking for more functionality, consider talking with your account manager about adding on our Advanced Form Builder options to your RediSite.
It is highly advisable that you avoid collecting any sensative information with a Contact Form. You should keep you forms short and simple. Do not use the Contact Form for full-blown applications. Consider using Rediker's Admissions for secure online applications as well as our AdminPlus Online Forms.
