The new 123ContactForm platform

Posted on May 25th, 2011 by Alexandra

  
Here it is: the new 123ContactForm engine
As promised, we have launched the new 123ContactForm engine. Our previous platform
has experienced a complete makeover, in terms of interface, functionality, usability an
reliability.
Interface design and structure. The 123ContactForm website is now shiny, colorful and
sexy (mostly due to that catchy pink shade). Clear and intuitive navigation provides
complete freedom of movement through sections and easy access to options and
functions.
Advanced fields. We have created 12 new form fields: Name, Date, Email, Time, Address,
Price, Phone, Website, HTML Block, File upload, Google map and Image, that will support
your forms in achieving their purposes. All fields can be customized according to your
needs and preferences.
Ajax form editor. The real-time form builder gives instant and centralized access to
form options and settings. Fields are added with the power of one click, allow for full
customization and can be dragged and dropped to rearrange the form layout. The
Settings panel comprises, among other features, the e-mail notifications that you can
set up for your forms, the rules that you may establish for fields and the applications
that can be integrated.
3rd party apps. 123 contact forms can now be linked to various applications: Google
Docs, Google Groups, SalesForce, WebHook, Yahoo Groups or MailChimp. You have the
possibility of keeping your submissions in Google Docs spreadsheets, sending leads to
SalesForce, adding email addresses to your MailChimp mailing list, Google group or
Yahoo group and sending your form entries to a custom script on your website.
New themes. Predefined themes come in a nice 32 options package. You may customize
a predefined theme or create a new one from scratch.
Payments with authorize.net. 123ContactForm supports a new payment processor,
namely Authorize.net. Paypal and Google Checkout are, of course, still available.
With respect to the submission limit that we have introduced for basic accounts, we
want to inform you that the service 123ContactForm provides is a SaaS (Software as a
Service) offered on a Freemium basis. The company is financed through paid accounts.
Free accounts allow users to receive all form submissions via email. However, only 100
submissions are available in the online interface. All submissions are saved in our
database and, once the account has been upgraded, they will appear in the Submissions
section.
We encourage users to upgrade their accounts, in order to sustain the infrastructure
costs (servers, bandwith). Besides having all limitations removed, upgraded users
benefit from a wide range of functions and options.

Here it is! We have launched the new 123ContactForm engine. Our previous platform has experienced a complete makeover, in terms of interface, functionality, usability and reliability.

    ChatMaster, you go to the Themes/Edit Themes section, duplicate an existent theme or create a new one and insert the URL of your logo in the Custom logo URL box.

    Without using this blog as a help thread, could you tell me why my default logo isn’t being removed, it’s below my custom URL logo. So it’s my old and new that’s there. ( To be fair if you could delete this and reply by email, that’d be great.. I feel like I’m spamming here )
