Gathering data is obviously a strong interest of ours here at Formstack. We not only like to create ways for you, our customers, to collect and manage data, but we also like to gather it ourselves. Whether it’s conducting customer case studies, participating in forums, or posting questions via social media – we are constantly gathering feedback from you about our product.
Integrated business applications have become the cornerstone of streamlining your processes as a small business. Using tools such as ours, along with our several integrations and payment processors, allows you to focus on other timley business matters – like schmoozing clients or planning company parties. You know, the important stuff.
There’s no arguing that integrating your business applications makes life a little less complicated. We have much love for our integration partners and hope that we’ve made form building a better experience for our users because of it!
The latest update to the Formstack form builder is something not seen to our end users, we switched our internal billing system from a “rolled-our-own” system to using Chargify. Chargify describes itself as “the easiest way to start collecting subscription credit card payments from your customers.” and we would agree. Chargify allows you to set-up, bill, and manage subscriptions. Best of all, Chargify supports several payment gateways.
In our two previous posts we discussed the beginnings of how we changed our name, and rebranded our form builder in two weeks. In this post I want to talk about the trademark research we did and the actual launch of our new website as it pertains to our rebrand.

It’s common for small work groups to need to collect data for projects. And most of the time, data needs to be collected and stored in a consistent manner so that it can be analyzed or included in another project or imported into another application. Data integrity is usually very important. For more than a decade, the default tool for this task has been the spreadsheet. And I am a big fan of the spreadsheet, don’t get me wrong. But there is a better way.
We are constantly playing with the Formstack form builder, so every once in a while we like to have a little fun and think of some creative uses as opposed to the standard surveys, order forms and the like.
There is a big piece of real estate that many people aren’t using when it comes to their online forms – the confirmation email. With Formstack you can quickly send anyone who submits a form a confirmation email.
Over the last few months, my pet project has been the Formstack iPhone application. I’m amazed by how popular the app has been, and even more amazed at the ways Formstack customers are integrating the app into their business workflow. I’d like to take a few moments to look at the three most popular ways the Formstack app is being used.
