Created a form linked to google sheet, while checking tho output there seems to be a difference between the order for user in the dashboard, report and output in google sheet. if i understand correctly, it seems that the information that goes out in the report is the up 2 date one. it seems like the update of an order is missing out updates in the order summary for user and in google sheets (for both item removal and quantity updates) if you look into it please use extreme caution, as this is a test on a real order that is about to be finalized when i noticed the inconsistencies
You can edit a submitted order to update the order quantity for existing items or add new items or remove existing news. The updated order details will displayed correctly in Neartail Orders, Reports and the data exported from Neartail Reports to google sheets. Note: If you are syncing the google forms responses to google sheets, the items deleted from the order will not be removed from google sheets.
How can I stop email notifications to respondents when their order is moved to the 'Completed' column? I have emails being sent for a couple of other statuses, which I would like to keep, but I no longer want that particular status email to be sent.
Currently Neartail does not have the option to disable email notifications. This feature is part of the roadmap. If you would like to disable the emails for the Completed status, please share the link for your form and we will disable it for you.
hi (: what is the difference between combo, set menu, and meal plan?
Combo, Set menu, Meal plan are some of the most commonly used customizable products. So, we added Sold as Combo, Sold as Set menu, Sold as Meal plan as a product type with the predefined options / validations to make it easier to add these products. For example, if you would like to set up a Set menu that allows a customer to choose their preferred Entree, Main course and Dessert, then you will add these as three customizable options. Entree: Soup of the day, Garlic bread, Caesar salad Main course: Pan fried salmon, Risotto Dessert: Tiramisu, Cheesecake, Chocolate fondant Users will have to select one of each to place their order. To implement this, you will disable the allow multiple selection option and set the min, max selection to 1 for the each of the three customization options. This is the predefined configuration when you select Sold as set menu as the product type. Set menu order form template https://neartail.com/order-forms/restaurant/set-menu.html

hey, how can I make the question appear ONE by ONE.?
Hi Theo, Formfacade does not have the option to automatically show only one question at a time. The workaround is to split the form into multiple sections and add only one question per section.
I am not receiving email notification when responses are submitted. My collaborator emails are: theparksatcascadehoa@gmail.com brandish999@gmail.com
Login to Formesign > click on the form to open it > Edit page will be displayed > click Responses > In the Responses page, click on the response to view the details > check the Additional details section. Does it display the email address for the Email collaborators option? - By default, it will display the configure link that indicates that the emails have not been set up. - If the emails are configured and sent successfully, email addresses will be displayed. - Otherwise, it will display the error message or 📫 icon next to the email to indicate that the email was not delivered.
I'm looking to automate form filling on a webpage using a spreadsheet of data. Would need to fill in first name, last name, date of birth(MM/DD/YYYY format), select state from dropdown using state initials on spreadsheet, check box, and submit. Very basic and easy process. There's more that can be automated but I don't know if it's even possible, so mainly looking for the basic process described above.
Currently Formesign does not have the option to look up data from Google Sheets. You can only prefill answers in the form.
Cannot for the life of me figure out how to get this to work for my google form. your directions are not matching current configurations for google forms and everything I do on Formfacade seems to be broken and result in an error. I just want one (1) question on my google form to allow for submitting photographs without logging in. Why is this the most difficult thing I've done all week?
Formfacade might show a prompt to create a new form instead of converting the google drive file upload in the existing form if there are any [permission] issues. When you choose this option, the form will be created in the Formfacade service account and your email will be added as a collaborator. If you are trying to find this new form created by Formfacade in your google drive, then you can select the "Shared with me" option in the side panel > Filter by type (select Folder option) > You should see a Formfacade folder > open the folder to view the form. The other option is to login to Formfacade > list of your forms will be displayed in the Forms dashboard > click on the form to open it > Formfacade Edit page will be displayed > In the Edit page, click on the form title to select it > click on the settings gear icon > Form settings page will be displayed > click Advanced > click Launch to open google forms > The google forms will open in a new tab. You will have to use the Formfacade share link to collect responses. Otherwise, customization and file upload will not work. Please note that uploaded files will not be synced to your google drive folder. This option is not available in the free trial.

Hello! I want to hide pre-filled questions, but still be able to edit them via query params just like Google Forms do. Is it possible? For example, Google Forms pre-filled link looks like that: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdViB7phXHT60D65qHfK--A5rwlW9YB8joK1UPYyDv-6dZsew/viewform?usp=pp_url&entry.474072674=test-id&entry.939967952=test-sent-cra Here I can pass params like that: entry.474072674=test-id&entry.939967952=test-sent-cra
Hi Alexander, You can prefill answers in the form by passing values via url parameters similar to google forms. You just have to append the google forms prefill url parameters to the Formesign share link. Google Forms link https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdViB7phXHT60D65qHfK--A5rwlW9YB8joK1UPYyDv-6dZsew/viewform Formesign link https://formesign.com/public/103009116584885149503/home/form/1FAIpQLSdViB7phXHT60D65qHfK--A5rwlW9YB8joK1UPYyDv-6dZsew Append prefill url parameters https://formesign.com/public/103009116584885149503/home/form/1FAIpQLSdViB7phXHT60D65qHfK--A5rwlW9YB8joK1UPYyDv-6dZsew?entry.474072674=test-id&entry.939967952=test-sent-cra If you don't want to autosave responses, you can append &ff-flush=true to the prefilled url. With this setting, the values in the prefill link will override the existing draft if there is a partially filled response. https://formesign.com/public/103009116584885149503/home/form/1FAIpQLSdViB7phXHT60D65qHfK--A5rwlW9YB8joK1UPYyDv-6dZsew?entry.474072674=test-id&entry.939967952=test-sent-cra&ff-flush=true Please try this and confirm.
When i adjust the background of one form to be transparent for my website. It also changes the backgrounds of all the other forms that i share direct links to. IS there any way to adjust these individually for the different forms I have?
No, you won't be able to customize it for each form with your account. If you would like to customize the theme for each form, you will have to subscribe and create the form using different email accounts.
Hello, I want to ask. I'm using the free version. Is there a limited time to use that version and if that time runs out I can't use it again forever? and will the previously created website disappear?
Hi Farrell, When you install the addon/create an account, we automatically enable a 7 day trial. After the trial ends, you will be on the free plan. In the Formfacade free plan, you can use one form and collect up to 20 responses per month. You can view the submitted responses in Google Forms. If you would like to use the paid features such as customize UI, file upload, score calculations, redirect on submit, tasks etc or collect more than 20 responses per month, you will have to subscribe to the paid plan.
Can I make the payment terms at 7 days? Currently my customers will need to pay on order. This is for Stripe payments, Bank Transfer and PayPal.
Bank transfer: This is a manual payment method. The payment details are displayed after the user submits the form. If you prefer, you can add instructions in the Bank transfer setup that informs the user that they have 7 days to make the payment. When a user places an order, the payment status will be either marked as "Pending" (not paid) by default. If the user clicks on the Mark as paid button, the status will be updated as "Paid, not verified". Once you verify the payment, you can mark the order as "Paid". Stripe: By default, card payments are processed and the order is submitted only if the payment is successful. If you prefer, you can enable the on-hold feature. Neartail's hold payment feature allows you to get payment authorization when the user submits the form and then collect the payment anytime within the next 7 days. Login to Neartail > click ont he form to open it > Edit page will be displayed > In the Edit page, click on the gear next to the Place order (submit) button > Button settings page will be displayed > select Enable for the "Pay on approval with hold payment" option and click Save. These payment transactions will be marked as "Uncaptured" in Stripe till you collect it. It indicates that the payment authorization has been obtained, but the funds have not been captured yet. To collect payments, login to Neartail > click on the form to open it > Edit page will be displayed > click Orders > In the Orders page, click on an order to view the details > click Collect. Please note that the authorization will automatically expire after 7 days. Paypal: If you are using automated Paypal option, the payments will be collected when the user submits the form. The order is submitted only if the payment is successful. Paypal does not have the on-hold payments feature.

Hello. Hello, trying to figure out if this will work for our non-profit needs. We need to be able to send a link (to hundreds of people statewide on an ongoing basis) to a letter that they will be asked to read, and to sign if they are in support of it's message. We will ask them to type their first, name, date and zipcode, and then to e-sign the letter. We don't want to get an email everytime someone signs the letter, but we do want people to get an email with a copy of the letter and their signature. We also need to be able to periodically export data from all the signed letters/docs/forms into one sheet that has first, last, date, zipcode AND e-signature all in one row. Can this platform do this?

Hello, I am getting two errors on my form, when fully submitted, here are two screenshots: 1. Right at submit: https://prnt.sc/C9idKb4uTbtI 2. Another error note, which also happens on submit: https://prnt.sc/d2hkzBekDrAv Thank you!
Submit failed: Not able to update in google forms https://prnt.sc/C9idKb4uTbtI When the user submits the form, the response is recorded in Formfacade and Google Forms. If there are any issues with submitting the form or recording the responses in Google Forms, we show an error message to the user and also send a notification email to the form creator. The submit can fail because there is an issue with the form, internet connectivity issue etc. The notification email will include the error message, draft id, link to the response (abandoned or submitted). If the draft id is prefixed with the *, it indicates that the response has not been submitted. If it is prefixed with a #, it indicates that the response has been submitted. If the error for response shows "Not able to update this response in Google Forms", then this indicates that the submit was successful and the response was recorded in Formfacade, but it was not updated in Google Forms. Google Forms might reject the responses if it fails any response validations (incorrect answers, missing answers for required questions) or if you have enabled any of the features that require signin such as limit to 1 response, collect email address - verified input, send response receipts, response too large etc. You might have also noticed that sometimes Google Forms throws a "Something went wrong" error without giving any additional details. Request entity too large error https://prnt.sc/d2hkzBekDrAv You have added 28 paragraph questions in your form. When the user fills the answer for these paragraph questions along with other required questions in the form, the resulting response exceeds the size limit supported by google forms. That's why you are getting the entity too large error. To fix this, you can add a response validation for these paragraph questions to restrict the max characters or you can enable the option to not record the responses in google forms. Login to Formfacade > click on the form to open it > Edit page will be displayed > In the Formfacade Edit page, click on the form title to select it > click on the settings gear icon > Form settings page will be displayed > click Advanced > enable the toggle button for "Don't submit to google forms" and click Save. When this option is enabled, the responses will be recorded only in Formfacade.
Does this add-on allow a Google Form to be embedded into a website if the file upload feature is part of the form?
Yes, you can use the Formfacade addon to embed a google form with file upload on your website. Google Forms file upload requires login.

You can subscribe to the Formfacade - Embed paid plan. This plan is suitable for occasional light use cases that require collecting files. You get a 10mb max size per file with a total file storage of 1gb. Only the form owner can access the files one at a time after they login with their google account. Formfacade - Embed https://formfacade.com/embed/pricing.html If your requirement is to collect large files and collaborate with your team, you should also subscribe to the file upload plan 10gb, 100gb or 1tb.
