The embedded forms feature allows you to collect information from any existing form on your website that was created outside the platform into Connectif. This way, you can easily send all the data that is already being collected in your eCommerce to Connectif.

 

How to access?

You can access the embedded forms through the path "Content > Forms".

Interface

The main interface of the forms consists of 7 blocks:

1. Creation: to create new embedded forms.

2. Search: to search for forms by name.

3. Views: to toggle how the form list is displayed, such as cards or rows.

4. Filters: to filter the displayed forms based on their status and type.

  

This screen displays all forms, both those created in Connectif through web content and forms natively created on your website and integrated into the platform. You can easily distinguish between the two types using the filters.
