You spent a lot of time, energy, and money getting visitors to your website and convincing them to complete one of your forms. But what happens after they click the submit button?
You have to give them closure. They need to know that they submitted the form properly. You may also need to give them additional information or further steps to follow.
Most businesses have seen some major changes over the last couple of months, and those that have been lucky enough to survive this roller coaster ride are still be adjusting to the new norm - mainly working remotely.
After the initial disruption, most people have managed to settle into a personal routine, and have adapted well to their new ‘work from home’ situation. However, although your employees may have become more settled, by now it’s probably becoming apparent that your organization is lacking some key tools and strategies that are needed to ensure maximum productivity while remote working.
When you really sit back and think about it, contact forms are a bit magic - anyone, anywhere in the world could inquire about you or the products or services that you offer at any time. This sure beats the old ways of snail mail! Contact forms allow you to make more sales, provide better customer support and simply grow your business, making them indispensable and thus featured on almost every modern website.
Unfortunately, there is one thing that you need to keep an eye out for if you have a form on your website, and that’s compliance with privacy laws. Spoiler alert: there are many great solutions to help you with this compliance!
“My #1 recommendation for anyone new to remote working, or new to working from home, would be: stick to your routine. Get to sleep and get up at the same time of day as when you commuted for work. Work out at the same time. Get dressed in the same way as if you were going into the office. Keep a semblance of a schedule, so you are not easily distracted by "all the things" that could also be done.”
In the last couple of months, millions of people across the globe have had to adjust to the challenges of working from home. For some this has been harder than others, and as time moves on, many may find different issues or setbacks emerge. Change on this scale is never easy, but luckily the Gravity Forms team is here to help.
Hello Gravity Forms ecommerce users! We are introducing an important update to our Authorize.Net Add-On for Gravity Forms. We encourage to download this latest Add-On release.

The CLI allows users to manage forms, entries and notifications on the command line. It supports import and export for both forms and entries and will resend notifications for individual entries.
In 2020, the issues around consumer privacy and collecting customer data are paramount for websites and businesses across the globe. The bottom line is, if you display so much as a contact form on your website, then you need to invest in a privacy policy for your site. You also need a strategy in place to ensure that the policy stays up to date as new and future privacy laws go into effect.

We find popups on almost every site these days. From a user perspective, they’re rude and annoying. Most of us let out a brief snort when a new window appears in our face, interrupting our experience.
But as an entrepreneur and marketer, popups make sense. They grab the user’s attention in a way they can’t possibly miss. A popup might explain important information, link the user to a new page, and prompt them to complete a form.
On the 31st March, the newest version of WordPress was released - WP 5.4. Named after the famous American jazz trumpeter, Nat Adderley, WordPress 5.4 has some exciting additions and enhancements that focus on improving the block editor as well as privacy tools and the developer experience.
