Question:
Can anyone give me the primary functionality differences between using the new Wix Forms App versus creating a custom form from scratch, just for a fairly simple Contact form? Trying to decide which to dive deep into and don’t want to waste time on a dead end…
Product:
Wix Studio + Wix Forms
What are you trying to achieve:
We’re playing with the new Wix Forms app (WixFormsV2?!?) and trying to decide if it’s worth really trying to dig deep to overcome some of it’s limitations, mostly on layout & styling, or just create a custom form from scratch where we’d have much more control over elements.
Some of the main functionality we would like to have:
- Form submissions are added to a collection for easy management
- Form submissions are sent to Inbox
- Email notifications can be sent to one or more recipients upon submission. Optimally, these would include the full form submission data so recipient could respond directly to user from email without having to go through Wix dashboard.
- [Bonus - maybe not mandatory]: Form submitters are added to Contacts, using Name, Email & Phone fields
- And are any Wix Forms app fields or items open to Velo for targeting?
If we could target fields, we could maybe add custom classes to them so we could just address styling issues directly in CSS (e.g, add our ‘.defaultButton’ class to the submit button). But unsure these items can be targeted.
