FormAssembly is an enterprise data collection and automation platform that enables organizations to capture clean, compliant data from the start. With the latest edition of the platform, FormAssembly Atlas, and its built-in AI assistant, Fai, forms and workflows build themselves, connect to Salesforce and other systems in just a few clicks, and ensure every record is structured, secure, and ready for automation or AI. In short, FormAssembly is designed to eliminate the manual work of…
Form Assembly allows for advanced data mapping, pre-filling forms with Salesforce data, and working with custom objects. FormAssembly excels in Salesforce Integration, as it is highly specialized and deeply integrated. Often considered the industry leader for Salesforce forms, …
FormAssembly has superior Salesforce configuration settings, but Jotform offers a much greater variety of systems integrations. We don't really use reports or Workflows in FormAssembly, but the Jotform Report Builder is frustrating at best. Workflows feel comparable from my …
It is easier to design a form through Formassembly and integrate the results with Salesforce. When compared with Docomotion, Formassembly is user-friendly. Additionally, the new feature in Formassembly that allows for designing signatures is beneficial.
Our website couldn’t handle self-hosting Formidable Forms as a plug-in on our website and would frequently crash. Titan Forms had poor communication and was difficult to schedule customer service. Formstack was self-hosted on our Salesforce, but was overpriced for our use case …
TargetX Forms is another option that I have. We decided to continue using FormAssembly due to the lack of features and flexibility available in TargetX Forms.
We have only used FormAssembly, once we were made aware of it by a consultant a few years ago. I checked the vendor recommendations against the Salesforce forums to see if it was recommended there and it was, plus I read the user-reviews on the AppExchange page. Once I got …
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 …
We considered a few others - Jot, conga, etc. We landed on FormAssembly mainly for the SalesForce integration. It's just so clean, and you get SO MANY options. The way that you can automatically create cases/leads (and do so conditionally) was huge for our support team. We've …
The big differentiator for me with FormAssembly has always been the Salesforce integration. I have yet to find an alternative form builder that makes building integrations with Salesforce any easier than FormAssembly. I like the look and feel of Typeform forms better than …
I think that FormAssembly does a good job of integrating with multiple platforms, making it appropriate for any use. I think that it is a little less user-friendly than Woobox, however.
We evaluated FormSpring, and Caspio among the products we were interested in. Considering that FormAssembly was available in an on-site version went a long way towards our decision, but frankly, it was just an easier product to use at a very reasonable price for what has the …
I was not the key decision maker in purchasing this product; I only provide administrator and user support for the product. FormAssembly works fairly well for our needs as an organization and we have not explored any other products for our business needs. If considering similar …

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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
