Show HN: Customize your Google Form to suit your website
- QueensGambit 7y agoGoogle form is the easiest way to collect leads or run surveys on our website. But it looks out-of-place, especially inside an iframe. So, I have created this tool to convert the Google form into HTML form that matches the website. What do you think of this tool? Feedback please?
- rboobesh 7y agoWhat happens when a user submits the response? Does it redirect to the default Google page?
- QueensGambit 7y agoNo. It submits the response using AJAX and stays in the website that embeds the form.
- visionerdy 7y agoDoes this work only for public forms? Can I use it for internal forms that require sign in?
- vlab_mech 7y agoInteresting. Do you have a sample?
- QueensGambit 7y agoSure! Here is a sample Google Form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfMixfPiaLo7qTpspr2bh3Or3kG-i-do-xnSe_v7LNcQlosZA/viewform https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfMixfPiaLo7qTpspr2... When you use Formfacade, it looks like this inside your website: http://customer.formfacade.com/hunchera/index.html http://customer.formfacade.com/hunchera/index.html (See "Request Early Access" above the fold).
- vlab_mech 7y agoThis is awesome! Can't believe it is still the purple Google Form in the backend.
- dbm44 7y agoYou really should put that or a similar example on your landing page to show potential customers just what is possible
- QueensGambit 7y agoThat's great advice! Thanks! I have updated the landing page with screenshots - https://formfacade.com https://formfacade.com
- kinduff 7y agoVery good idea! Are you planning to support multi-page forms?
- QueensGambit 7y agoThanks! Yes. But, it needs access to parameters that are not visible in a public form. So, I plan to build it as Google Forms add-on.
- jaaajaa102 7y agoDoesn't allow choice button options though. Pretty much makes everything text fields is my only issues. But, still really great and neat none the less.
- QueensGambit 7y agoThanks! But, it should work with choice fields [1]. Can you please check if your Google Form is publicly available i.e. it doesn't popup Google Signin when you open it in incognito mode? [1] Sample form with selectbox and checkbox - https://formfacade.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdN-M-uIQN8FfjAZul_BQi0MKYARV_vqNKFejV0QFomAjtdGg/editform https://formfacade.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdN-M-uIQN8FfjAZul_B...
- jaaajaa102 7y agoSorry, meant to say scale type questions like 1 for dissatisfied and 5 for satisfied. You can see it on the google form, but not through formfacade. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdwITzptBor8Q9OQ733aCuQdcjB4IiHD9Zlrnjj8RFQv1Rrsw/viewform https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdwITzptBor8Q9OQ733... https://formfacade.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdwITzptBor8Q9OQ733aCuQdcjB4IiHD9Zlrnjj8RFQv1Rrsw/viewform https://formfacade.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdwITzptBor8Q9OQ733a...
- QueensGambit 7y agoAh! Got it! Thanks for pointing it out. Will fix it!
