123FormBuilder vs. FormAssembly

If you have a lot of customer interaction with your site, where you need to collected specific, targeted, situational data, 123FormBuilder is an absolute winner. If your site is more information and perhaps leads to a software platform or other product or service, 123FormBuilder might prove unnecessarily robust for you. Something simpler and cheaper might make more sense for you. But in most cases where you're seeking to collect information from customers, I'd happily recommend 123FormBuilder.

Digitizing your company's physical paper transactions. Once digitized, your staff/users can easily access it with their mobiles or anything that has a browser. This gives them convenience and saves paper waste. Some scenarios I think are when some people would like to treat from assembly as a document signing platform like DocuSign or Conva.

• It integrates well with Salesforce. It allows for bi-directional communication which is critical for our form. To provide the custom with a good UX, the form dynamically responds to their input, saves their choices as records in Salesforce and then puts in them in the next step in the process.
• FormAssembly allows for custom scripts to be used (javascript, CSS and html). This has allow for our forms to align better with our branding and provide for a more robust and clean UX.
• We can communicate from one form to another using dynamic url variables. Due to the complexity of our forms this is huge. It allows for our customers to input less, save their info in Salesforce and they stay in a natural workflow regardless of how many forms we need to incorporate.

• Some employees are intimidated at first. After all, it is html.
• There is so much functionality that it can be easy for novices to get lost.
• Will there be more payment flexibility? parents use more of the bank to person payment options.

• The information coming from Salesforce to use in the choices for an answer does not always appear as needed. (API vs name).
• Ability for Admins to see and edit every user's forms. This would be useful in the event that someone is no longer with the institution.
• When a form is cloned, it would be nice if the connector were also cloned but not active. This would allow us to verify and turn on without having to rebuild everything.

I like the product, but I am no longer in control of the project where this product was being used. However, I would definitely use 123ContactForm on future products

FormAssembly continues to meet our needs, and the product functionality continues to grow, providing us with new opportunities to utilize the software. We've built many forms and associated processes on FormAssembly. It would require a large effort to migrate to another platform. We have invested a lot of time in learning FormAssembly.

Given how many sophisticated features appear in the form builder itself, the back-end management can feel strikingly skimpy at times. More dynamic or visually appealing confirmation messages/email notifications would realign these with the existing capabilities of the forms themselves. This is a small issue though because data capture is our primary priority in form fills and it is always excellent in Salesforce!

While it's not a true development package and misses some features like ingestion of external data for lists, etc... the product is fast, stable, easy to use, and will suit the needs of anyone needing online form functionality with SalesForce and other connectors available for your marketing needs.

I installed 123ContactForm myself and while I had some issues installing it I was able to visit their website and the troubleshooting information they provided in their faq section. They did offer other support if a user needed additional support, but I found the information provided on their website to be more than sufficient

Compared to JotForm or Woofoo, 123ContactForm offers a much better interface and better flexibility than the other tools. I have used JotForm only to get stumped by their inability to push the limits of the form. As for Woofoo, the level of ease of use in terms of their interface leaves much to be desired. Any updates made to their form was down using a WYSIWYG, where with 123ContactForm you can make the updates while building the form

When we were researching options 2 years ago, FormAssembly beat other form tools hands down based on Salesforce integration features. The ability to declaratively set up prefill and post-submission data connectors supporting complex hierarchical data relationships was huge there. We also valued the ability to authenticate Salesforce users on the form. This allowed us to ensure that only authorized individuals could make updates to their records (and not other people's records) via the form. Since we embed it so heavily into Salesforce, we often compare FormAssembly to Salesforce's native Visualforce and Lightning Component frameworks when deciding how to fulfill a data capture requirement. Unless something very custom is called for, we very often choose FormAssembly first for the flexibility it gives us to build and iterate in the early phases of a new program.

• 123ContactForm has been positive for my business. It has saved us money because we did not require any development I was able to do this myself.

• We used to use Joomla built-in forms on our site... oh wow, what an upgrade. FormAssembly is miles ahead. We've saved so much time - we get better, cleaner responses and our users don't have to waste time.
• Updating our existing client records using FormAssembly is a godsend. It's super easy to direct our clients to the proper places.
• We get creative, sometimes. We've built in a feature for our Excel reports that automatically pushes a response through FormAssembly, into SalesForce - so that when salespeople complete an Excel report, then can quickly/easily update SalesForce without logging into anything. Thanks for the workaround, FormAssembly!
