Any information a person adds to Profile Fields will update their profile. They will receive an email asking them to verify any new information. Once they've verified it, their profile will be updated.
Custom Fields can be updated by using the Custom Field on the form. Only one file of up to 10 MB will be allowed, and it will replace any existing file in that field for that person.
-
If you want a person to be added to a workflow based on a certain response, add a Workflow Field and choose from your workflows.
The workflow will only be an option if it has at least one step.
-
Basic Fields allow you to customize the form to ask questions that won't be added to a person's profile. You'll have access to the answers from the Submissions tab. Files will be visible on the submission for 180 days.
All forms have the email address and name at the top.
Click the field to make any updates to it.
Some fields only need to be completed if another field is answered. Those fields will be connected on the form.
To connect those fields, click Add condition and choose which field to connect.
On the form, the condition will not show up until the connected field is answered.
Automations give you the power to automatically perform an action on people who fill out your form. Email them, add them to a team, event, or group, or even send them a mobile pass right when they submit their form.

As people begin to fill out the form, you'll see the number on the Submissions tab grow. Click any submission to view their completed form, or type a person's name to search for their form.
