Over the past few months, the Fillout team's been working on two exciting new initiatives that we can't wait to unveil (more on these soon π).
In the meantime, we still have a number of enhancements to share - details on all of these below. Let us know what you think!
β¨ Map PDF fields with AI and editor improvements
Fillout's PDF generation feature now automatically maps fields from your form, using AI. Click the β¨ icon to test it out.
The PDF editor also newly supports copy/paste and zoom in/out.
π² Current input formatting
The currency field type auto-formats large numbers with commas to make inputs easier to read.
πΌ Salesforce integration (Enterprise)
The native Salesforce integration is now available to all Enterprise customers. We're continuing to deepen the integration - let us know if you have any feature requests!
π New validation rules
Require a minimum number of files on the file upload field.
For long answer inputs, set a max number of characters and Fillout will display the number of characters in real-time.
π Home page improvements
Choose between grid and column view to organize your workspace.
Plus, disable and enable forms in one click, directly from the home page.
ποΈ Linear integration
Fillout now integrates natively with Linear, the leading project management tool for startups.
Create Linear issues from your Fillout forms to manage bug reports, new project proposals, internal requests and more.
π Fixes and improvements
Our team's been keeping busy since Fillout Launch Week, with an emphasis on quality-of-life improvements to existing features.
We also have several newly released native integrations - details on all the updates below!
π Google Drive and OneDrive Integrations
Allow respondents to upload files to Google Drive or Microsoft OneDrive with your Fillout forms.
Optionally create dynamic folders and add a prefix to each file name.
π cal.com integration
Fillout now integrates with cal.com, the leading open-source scheduling platform. Let us know what you think if you try it out!
π New PDF display options and improvements
Fillout's PDF integration now supports displaying multiple choice fields as plaintext, instead of checkboxes. We've also fixed a lot edge cases with more complex documents.
β¬ οΈ Set back button position
In your advanced theme settings, set the back button to appear near the next button, instead of the top left corner.
π Faster linked record pickers
Record pickers in Fillout now load ~ 2x faster when using the Airtable integration.
π« Microsoft Teams integration
Send form responses to your Teams channels. Optionally send to different channels based on the response and define custom messages.
If you use Slack instead, take a look at our existing Slack integration.
π¨βπ¨βπ¦βπ¦ Free, unlimited seats on all plans
In case you missed it, you can now invite your whole team to Fillout, for free. More on why we made collaborators free here.
π Fixes and improvements
Welcome to the last day of Fillout Launch Week. Thanks for following along!
We've saved the biggest update for last. Fillout now has native PDF and document generation features, plus an AI-powered tool to turn your PDFs into online forms. Here's how it works:
β¨ PDF to Form
Try out the upgraded PDF to Form tool. Upload a PDF or document with question fields to get started. The new tool is much faster and doesn't limit the size of your PDF.
Plus, Fillout generates a form that automatically fills your PDF each time a new submission is received.
π PDF workflows on existing forms
You can add multiple PDF workflows to existing forms, too.
Head to the integrations tab and choose Generate PDF. Then, map your form fields to any part of the document.
You can even map checkboxes, signatures and non-question fields.
You'll get a link to each filled document on the Fillout results page.
π§ Send filled PDFs by email
Include a copy of the generated PDF in your respondent and self notification emails.
β‘οΈ Upload filled PDFs to 3rd party apps
You can automatically upload generated documents to 3rd party apps, like Airtable, Notion, SmartSuite, GoogleSheets, Dropbox, and more.
β¬οΈ Let users download their PDF
Add a "Download PDF" button to your form to let respondents download the finalized PDF document after their submission.
Welcome to Day 4 of Fillout Launch Week.
Today we're introducing a new way to collect input in Fillout: voice. Voice is a convenient way to collect responses for long-answer inputs or data collection in the field.
Plus, with recent advances in AI, you get accurate transcriptions almost instantly, powered by OpenAI and Azure.
ποΈ Voice recording field
To get started, add a voice recording field to your form.
Your users will be prompted to record a message, along with the option to pause, resume, finish and restart their recording.
The voice recording field is available on all plans, including the free tier.
π Transcribe with AI (Business)
Enable transcription to automatically generate a transcript of every recording.
Provide a custom prompt to tailor the transcription style to your needs.
Transcriptions are powered by OpenAI's Whisper, hosted in the US or EU (Azure) depending on your plan.
β Send recordings and transcripts to 3rd party integrations
Send the raw audio file and/or transcription to your 3rd party services. For example, upload recordings to Dropbox, Airtable or even use them in Zapier/Make/Relay automations.
Welcome to Day 3 of Fillout Launch Week.
Today we released major upgrades to Fillout's developer features and tools to manage 3rd party integrations.
π€ REST API is now free
The Fillout REST API lets you access your form responses programmatically, without using the Fillout site.
It's now available on all plans, including the free tier.
πββοΈ View integration usage
On the Fillout integrations page, click "View usage" to see which of your forms are connected to each 3rd party service.
β API improvements
Return responses before/after a certain date, fetch in progress submissions, sort responses and even obtain an edit link for any form submission.
We've also improved the response format to make it easier to work with.
π Restrict integrations by workspace (Enterprise)
Limit who in your organization can access each of your 3rd party accounts. Set permission boundaries across teams or different clients.
π Build 3rd party apps (OAuth)
Create apps that integrate with Fillout accounts.
Third party apps let you or your users access Fillout responses via API. Once someone grants access to your application, you'll have API access to fetch forms, responses and even create webhooks. Learn more here.
β‘οΈ Our first OAuth integration: Relay
Relay is our new favorite tool for human-in-the-loop and AI-assisted automations.
They recently released a Fillout integration with our new 3rd party app framework.
Let us know which apps you want to see integrations with next!
Welcome to Day 2 of Fillout Launch Week.
Today we're introducing two powerful new field types to Fillout: the Subform and Submission picker.
These advanced fields enable a new set of data collection use cases.
π Subform
Subforms make it easy to collect repeated information in your forms.
For example, say you need your users to tell you about each of their family members.
With a subform, respondents can add as many family members as they need. Each entry opens its own customizable Fillout form.
The subform also lets users edit and resume in-progress submissions.
β Validation options
Limit the number of subform responses your users can add with validation settings.
π Submission picker field
This field lets respondents select from previous submissions of any Fillout form, without the need for a 3rd party integration.
You can even use the selected submission to pre-fill fields or dynamically show/hide parts of your form.
π Filter which submissions are visible
Lastly, set filters that determine which submissions a user can choose from.
For example, only allow users to select their own past form submissions by matching on their login email.
That's all for today! Stay tuned for the next Launch Week update tomorrow on LinkedIn or Twitter.
Today is day 1 of Filloutβs Launch Week. Each day this week, weβre announcing a major new set of capabilities in Fillout.
Today's theme is Login 2.0. Adding the upgraded login page to your form is more than just a way to verify email addresses. It also streamlines a lot of data intake workflows - more details below!
π» Resume submissions across devices
Adding a login page to your form automatically lets respondents continue form submissions across devices, like a phone and laptop.
π« Limit users to 1 response per email
Optionally restrict respondents to 1 form submission per email address. A custom screen is shown to users who already completed your form.
π§ Verify email addresses and "remembered" login
The login page now lets you verify email addresses, without connecting to a 3rd party integration.
If your respondents submit multiple Fillout forms, they'll only need to verify their email on their first submission.
π Let users edit past submissions
Enable editing past submissions to let your users see and update any of their prior responses, even across devices.
π Single Sign-On (Enterprise)
Add Microsoft, OneLogin, Google Workspaces, Okta and other types of SSO login to your form. Optionally pre-fill fields with custom SSO attributes. Learn more here.
β Limit submissions to specific domains
For internal-facing forms, limit submissions to only your company domain.
That's all for today! Stay tuned for the next Launch Week update tomorrow on LinkedIn or Twitter.
Firstly, a big thank you from our team to you for your support in 2023. This year was a big one for Fillout and we can't wait for 2024.
Below are the last feature updates of the year. As always, let us know if you have any questions and we wish you a happy holiday season!
π Add a "skip" button
Improve conversion rates by adding a skip option to any page.
π Rank dynamic options
For example, let users choose 3 options from a multi-select dropdown and rank the 3 selected choices by importance, with the "ranking" field.
πΌ Attio integration
If you haven't tried it yet, Attio is a powerful CRM tool that's been growing quickly in popularity.
We just released a native integration that lets you create and update Attio records with your Fillout forms.
π² View submissions by device
On your form analytics, view what % of respondents answered on mobile, tablet or desktop devices.
π Granular permissions for integrations (Enterprise)
Control access to integration accounts within your team. For example, limit an Airtable connection to only certain workspaces. Learn more.
ποΈ Intercom integration
Create new messages and leads in Intercom from a form. We've seen this be a helpful way to automate follow-ups on our own Fillout use cases.
π© New Sendgrid email features
The Sendgrid integration now supports sending custom emails without a template and creating/updating Sendgrid contacts.
π Fixes and improvements
I'm particularly excited to share today's Fillout update for two reasons:
Introducing the Fillout Conversion Kit.
What is it?
In short, the Conversion Kit helps optimize your forms and reduce drop-offs. It's particularly well suited for lead generation.
Because Fillout covers the costs for external services like Clearbit and Google Maps, the Conversion Kit is an optional paid add-on to Fillout.
Ok... but what does it do?
π Enrich and route leads
Enable enrichment to automatically gather industry, company size, revenue, role and more for each respondent.
Based on this data, you can intelligently qualify, score and route leads within the form itself.
π Recover lost leads
Inevitably, some people will start your forms and leave halfway through. Now, you can:
Notify your team whenever a prospect drops off.
Send a custom abandoned form email encouraging people to resume their submission.
π© Better data with smart email validation
Enforce valid addresses or company-only emails to improve data quality.
π Boost conversion with autocomplete
Autofill addresses, company size, industry, role and more to reduce friction.
Use dynamic form shortening to automatically hide known fields. Fewer questions = more conversions.
πΌ Optimize ad campaigns (Coming soon)
Send conversion events to LinkedIn, Facebook, TikTok, Twitter and Google Ads to optimize your campaigns.
We've been working on some major new initiatives these past few weeks at Fillout.
I'm excited to share some of these updates today and an even bigger update next week to wrap up the year.
π Page logic 2.0
It's now significantly easier to create multi-page forms with branching logic.
We've completely reworked "page logic" from the ground up - let us know what you think!
ποΈ Zendesk integration
Fillout now integrates natively with Zendesk, the leading customer service platform. Create tickets and leads based on custom form workflows.
π Preview mode "skip to page"
Skip to any page in your form while in preview mode.
Entering preview mode is also much faster β‘οΈ
π¨βπ» React embed library
For developers: we've released a npm package,@fillout/react, that makes it easy to embed Fillout forms on your websites and apps.
πββοΈ Conditional integrations
Post-form integrations, like Slack notifications, webhooks and more, can now be set to run only if a condition is met.
You can even create multiple versions of each integration that trigger in different cases.
πΌ Create HubSpot companies and deals
The Fillout + HubSpot integration now supports creating companies and deals, in addition to contacts.
