A Good Starting Place for an App (if you Already Use Jotform)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We have used Jotform Apps for several years, and were delighted to see them unveil Apps. We deployed our first app as a service for event attendees. Some observations: Easy to publish and access: The Power Web App platform used by Jotform makes apps simple to deploy. For our use case, this was preferable to publishing native apps in app marketplaces. Relatively easy to build: The builder interface, while slightly idiosyncratic, is effective. It works much the same as Jotform Apps' form builder--the familiarity is helpful. Limited power: Essentially, an App is a collection of links, pictures, and documents. These can be displayed as larger or smaller buttons. Links can point to Jotform forms, other pages in the app, or external URLs. Customization options for all of these items are limited. So, for instance, we displayed maps as pictures and a schedule as a PDF. Well enough, but this results in something like a mobile-friendly website more than a fully featured app.

Pros

  • Employs PWA platform
  • Serves as a wrapper for a form
  • Consistent with Jotform Apps forms builder experience

Cons

  • Limited content types
  • Limited options for app elements
  • Limited options for pictures displayed in app

Most Important Features

  • Integration with Jotform Apps forms
  • Easy to set up
  • Included in Jotform subscription

Return on Investment

  • This improved our engagement with attendees.
  • We used this to capture feedback that was important to our planning.
  • The ease of building apps made this possible. We wouldn't have been able to provide a natively coded app.

Jotform Apps Salesforce integration

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We implemented for a customer to use as an intake form and integrated to Salesforce. It was relatively reliable, however there are better integration options. Jotform Apps is a simple integration, when most of our customers require more complicated integrations (multiple objects, automations, conditions etc). Upon creation we may want multiple records created, where as Jotform Apps works best as a lead intake, in my opinion. The use case our customer was solving for was program enrolment (program intake). It is a easy integration to the contact object, however when additional custom objects are needed, it is a bit limiting compared to to other form tools where multiple objects can be created/updated/deleted in on submit action. The ROI initially would have been great for our customers, however when they need a more complex form tool, the configuration and implementation time is increased if they out grow the tool.

Pros

  • Easy Integration
  • Straight forward integration for standard objects

Cons

  • Too rudimentary for multi step integrations
  • Tool will be out grown

Most Important Features

  • Salesforce integration

Return on Investment

  • Reduces manual entry
