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.

πŸƒ Add a "skip" button

Improve conversion rates by adding a skip option to any page.

πŸ“Š 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.

πŸ’Ό Attio integration

We just released a native integration that lets you create and update Attio records with your Fillout forms.

πŸ› Fixes and improvements

New in Fillout ✨ The Conversion Kit

Shared by Dominic β€’ December 18, 2023

I'm particularly excited to share today's Fillout update for two reasons:

  1. These features are brand new to the world of form builders.
  2. Our team's been working on this for several months. We've been beta-testing on our own forms and have seen really good results.

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?

πŸ“† 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.

πŸ›Ÿ 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.

Form abandonment workflow

πŸ“© Better data with smart email validation

Enforce valid addresses or company-only emails to improve data quality.

πŸ”Ž 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.

Example scheduling workflow with smart routing

πŸ’Ό Optimize ad campaigns (Coming soon)

Send conversion events to LinkedIn, Facebook, TikTok, Twitter and Google Ads to optimize your campaigns.

New in Fillout ✨ Page logic 2.0, conditional integrations, Zendesk, better preview mode & more

Shared by Dominic β€’ December 06, 2023

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.

πŸ”€ 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!

πŸ›ŽοΈ Zendesk integration

Fillout now integrates natively with Zendesk, the leading customer service platform. Create tickets and leads based on custom form workflows.

πŸ”Ž Preview mode "skip to page"

Skip to any page in your form while in preview mode.

Entering preview mode is also much faster ⚑️

πŸ‘¨β€πŸ’» 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.

πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ 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.

πŸ’Ό Create HubSpot companies and deals

The Fillout + HubSpot integration now supports creating companies and deals, in addition to contacts.

πŸ› Fixes and improvements

  • Added the ability to delete themes. Themes in use by other forms will display a warning message before you delete them.
  • Improved right-to-left (RTL) support.
  • Added option to configure left and right labels on the "slider" field.

New in Fillout ✨ Progress bar, custom CSS, advanced designer, 2x faster loading & more

Shared by Dominic β€’ November 13, 2023

I'm particularly excited to share this update - our biggest upgrade to form styling since we introduced the theme designer just 1 year ago.

If you make client-facing forms or need a consistent brand image, these changes will have an immediate impact.
​
Let us know what you think here!

πŸ“Š Customizable progress bar

Boost conversion rates with a custom progress bar.

You choose which pages belong to which steps. Respondents can even click the progress bar to go back to previous pages.

🎨 Custom CSS

Custom CSS is now supported at the theme-level, so you can define your CSS in one place across multiple forms.

We also introduced stable class names to make CSS easier to write - more details here.

πŸ–ΌοΈ Advanced form designer

Get fancy with the advanced designer. Customize input rounding, form width, button types, padding and more.

⚑️ 2x faster load times

Fillout forms now open roughly twice as fast. We're continuing to improve performance in the coming weeks - stay tuned!

β™Ώ Accessibility improvements

We've made a number of improvements to make field inputs and validation messages more accessible to screen readers.

🎫 Share form with a QR code

Head to the share tab to generate a unique QR code for your form.

Fillout Launch Week Day 5 ✨ Workspaces v2 (now free) and multi-account support

Shared by Dominic β€’ October 20, 2023

It's the last day of Fillout Launch Week. We hope you've enjoyed following along 😊

For our last launch, we tackled one of the most frequent complaints about Fillout: managing lots of forms or multiple accounts.

πŸ—‚οΈ Workspaces are now free

Workspaces are like folders - an easy way to organize your forms.

We overhauled workspaces and made them available on all plans, including the free tier. Let us know what you think of the new layout!

πŸ‘― Join multiple organizations

If you're a freelancer or consultant working with multiple clients, you'll likely want to create separate Fillout organizations for each.

You can now join multiple organizations with the same email. Plus, easily switch between them in one click.

βš™οΈ Granular permissions (premium)

Fillout now supports adding collaborators to specific workspaces and with read-only access. This is a good way to make sure that only the right people can make changes to your forms.

That's a wrap for Launch Week! Let us know what your favorite update was or if you have any feedback on how we can improve Fillout.

Fillout Launch Week Day 4 ✨ Import your Google Forms

Dominic avatar
Shared by Dominic β€’ October 19, 2023

Welcome to Day 4 of Fillout Launch Week.

Today's launch is a bit different. Instead of adding new features, we wanted to make it easier to get started with Fillout in the first place.

Introducing the Google Form Importer: https://www.fillout.com/google-forms-customizer

You've almost certainly heard of Google Forms - it's the most popular form builder with over 1 billion users. Our new tool makes it quick and easy to import an existing Google Form into Fillout.

πŸ‘‰ Getting started

First, connect your Google Forms account and choose the form you want to import.

That's it! If you don't have a Fillout account, you don't even need to sign up to see the end result.

We also made specific pages for features that Fillout supports that Google Forms does not, like adding a signature field, protecting your form with CAPTCHA, accepting payments and 17 others.

Let us know what you think if you try it out and stay tuned for our final Launch Week update tomorrow on LinkedIn or Twitter.

Fillout Launch Week Day 3 ✨ Fully customized links

Dominic avatar
Shared by Dominic β€’ October 18, 2023

Welcome to Day 3 of Fillout Launch Week.

Today, we're introducing a way to fully customize your form links - for free!

πŸ”— Choose a share link "subdomain"

By default, Fillout form links look like "forms.fillout.com/t/sKWfR8LJnous".

That works if you're embedding the form or sharing it internally.

But if you're sharing the link with clients or prospects, you'll want to make the link look on-brand.

Starting today, you can choose a pretty URL, like "mybrand.fillout.com", even on the free plan.

If you want a fully white-labelled link, connect your own custom domain on the business tier.

🎨 Custom endings

Once you've chosen a subdomain or connected a custom domain, you can choose a "custom ending" for any form.

For example, you might make the URL of a holiday RSVP form end with "holiday-event".

If you want to customize the link preview that appears when sharing a link on social media, you can do that too.

That's all for today! Stay tuned for the next Launch Week update tomorrow on LinkedIn or Twitter.

Launch Week Day 2 ✨ A new way to send forms and track submissions

Dominic avatar
Shared by Dominic β€’ October 17, 2023

Welcome to Day 2 of Fillout Launch Week.

Today, we're introducing a new way to share and track your Fillout forms.

πŸ“­ Request form submission by email

Say you need to collect event RSVPs from everyone on your team.

From the Fillout "share" tab, just press Send by email. You can customize the email message and who it goes out to.

Your respondents will receive a formatted email, based on your form's theme.

They can come back to the form at any time and from any device.

πŸ“¦ Track completions

Each form is automatically linked to the person it was sent to.

You'll know which response belongs to whom and who still needs to complete the form - no need to ask for an email address.

πŸ“† Automatic reminders (coming soon)

If you need the form filled out by a certain day, set a deadline and enable automatic reminders. Reminders will go out to those who haven't completed the form ahead of the deadline.

⚑️ Automate workflows with Zapier

You can also trigger a form to send from Zapier. For example, send a feedback form when a customer unsubscribes from your service.

That's all for today! Stay tuned for the next Launch Week update tomorrow on LinkedIn or Twitter.

Launch Week Day 1 ✨ Powerful email workflows

Optionally include an edit link to let your users update their response later on from their email inbox.

🎨 Respondent emails include logo and theme

Respondent notification emails automatically respect your form's theme and, on premium plans, include your organization's logo.

✨ New integrations: SendGrid, Klaviyo, ActiveCampaign

We've added 3 native integrations with the most popular email tools.

Use SendGrid to send fully customized emails upon form submission.

Or, create and update contacts in Klaviyo and ActiveCampaign and add custom tags based on the form submission.

πŸ“© Send multiple custom emails, conditionally

The Fillout Pro+ plans now support adding multiple custom respondent emails per form.

You can send emails conditionally, e.g. only when someone chooses a particular option. Learn more here.

πŸ“¦ New "Send response" field

Add this new field type to a form ending page to give users the option to save a copy of their submission.

Optionally include an edit button in the email let users edit their response later on.

That's all for today! Stay tuned for the next Launch Week update tomorrow on LinkedIn or Twitter.

Shared by Dominic β€’ September 23, 2023

For the last two weeks, we've put a spotlight on the small details, the fit-and-finish.
