Preview Of What We Are Working On

Yesterday I got up to date with SureForms and all the powerful features our team is working on.

Here is a screenshot I snagged of the upcoming Conversational Form layout.

It’s as simple as turning the feature on and choosing a few preferences.

We now need to refine the AI Form Builder to write the help text in a “conversational form” way. For example, instead of asking for Name, it should say, Enter Your Name or something more conversational like that.

But that’s not all.

I also saw a demo of the enhancements to the form entry screen:

  • Add notes
  • Extensive logging
  • Edit form values
  • Resubmit form

We discussed how we will blend in SureTriggers to turn entries management into a full-blown business process automation tool.

A simple example is a registration form where you want to have manual approvals. Once the status is changed to Approved, a series of automated actions can then happen leveraging SureTriggers’s over 1,000 integrations.

This will be a game changer for agencies building robust solutions for clients and introduce a new revenue stream via SureTriggers, with our new focus on agencies.

Also demoed, conditional logic for webhooks! This powerful new feature will enable you to dynamically route form data based on conditions that you set.

Oh, and one more thing. To streamline the agency workflow, we want SureForms to work with popular CSS frameworks. We are going to start testing and working with the popular frameworks to ensure compatibility. This is for all the ACSS fans out there ! 🙂
