Overall Satisfaction with Formstack

Formstack is used across the entire organization, i.e., anyone who needs a form can request and get one. We handle event signups, requests for college services, feedback, and general questionnaires. Our users utilize both email to receive submissions but also the database export to further utilize submission data. Others use 3rd party integrations like ZenDesk and Mailchimp.

Formstack essentially replaced our IT department's role of creating custom forms and database solutions, so they can focus on more appropriate and important tasks.
  • Ease of setup - we can create something almost immediately.
  • Conditional logic - enables the shortest form possible to be presented to the user, so forms can be comprehensive, but users only see the fields they need.
  • Themes - allow us to make a form look exactly how we want them to look.
  • Embedding - forms easily embed into our website, making the presentation seamless.
  • Integrations - allow our users to harness submission data in the ways that they need.
  • Sometimes how to integrate with 3rd parties isn't super obvious.
  • ZenDesk
  • Mailchimp
Zendesk - the form capability is better than Zendesk's basic tool to capture trouble tickets directly from our website.

Mailchimp - we use form data that we later use to make segments in Mailchimp to tailor our messaging more effectively.
Our Registrar has a request form that has 26 separate scenarios, each with custom notification and confirmation emails. The notification emails go to at least 10 different employees in the Registrar. The ability to have a single form handle vastly different requests, provide both custom info inside of all emails, delivered to the appropriate employees is critical to their success as a department.

Our International Admission department has a pre-app form to capture interested international students as they begin our complex application process. The department is able to help guide them through that process by exporting their names from Formstack and comparing that list to an internal list of incomplete applications. They also integrate the form with Mailchimp to be able to communicate deadlines, important College information, etc.
