Likelihood to Recommend FormAssembly is an excellent tool for creating personalized web forms that integrate with
Salesforce . It is a very powerful tool and although it is user-friendly, there is a learning curve. It would be less suited for very simple forms that do not integrate with other systems, as there are probably simpler tools available for that purpose.
Read full review Microsoft Power Automate is the best tool to extend Microsoft services you already use. Hands down. Prototyping workflows is very easy in Microsoft Power Automate. It's also the best choice for sending custom cards through Teams and email. It's the easiest way to get data from Microsoft Graph.
Read full review Pros SalesForce integration is really nice. You can map to specific fields with form values, or you can use detailed formulas. You can also choose to bypass assignment rules on a per-form basis, and create customized logic for when cases are created, when leads are created/merged, etc. It's very robust. Form creation in general is very simple. They've gotten good over the years of creating an intuitive, drag and drop interface that's quick to edit. I like that you can also assign values to fields so conditional form building gets easy. I like that you can customize how responses are viewed in the response window. Choose what columns show up so you can find records with ease, and with just one glance. OR you can download everything to excel in a snap too.

Schedule flow helps to send alerts and triggers the flow at a specific interval of time to carry out the required task. Power Automate also be used to convert any file format to a specific file format and save it to the required location Read full review Cons It may not be Salesforce Lightning Experience compatible - at least for us - in terms of linking to Lightning Experience Notes Saving a form edit can be confusing depending on where in the form the edit is made It would be nice to add a background image so that the desktop browser doesn't have so much white-space around the form.

Workflows should have a longer lifespan in days, we have approval processes that take months and it's very annoying to fix if the instance is stopped. Better debugging and quick fix help Read full review Likelihood to Renew One major point for us is our migration to a completely Microsoft infrastructure. IN addition to that, the afore mentioned need to ingest external data resources means that we do have our eyes open toward the landscape so that we can fill these needs. This in no way indicates a move away from FormAssembly: their support is first rate, and so far the product has always stood up to the tests we've put it through.

Read full review Usability Power Automate has an intuitive interface that is easy for novices to use. It doesn't require programming knowledge, however having that experience will help troubleshoot potential issues if they do arise. There are advanced features that allow the use of "code-like" steps that will help power users get more advanced automations set up quickly.
Read full review Support Rating 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.

Read full review Implementation Rating I had to migrate from
Robocorp to Power Automate. The automation was using API and sharepoint. So it was better to use Power Automate instead of
Robocorp so we did the migration. in some areas the migration was easy but creating flows and making it smaller codes was difficult. Debugging the code was tough so we took lots of time.
Read full review Alternatives Considered 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.
