Overview

The WuFoo Form feature provides easy integration with WuFoo, a 3rd party form-building site that provides a huge array of features and customization options. This is a great feature to utilize if our native Email Form feature does not suit your needs. As the leader in form-building, WuFoo is constantly tacking on new features. Check out all that they offer in their Features page.

In general, email forms are a critical feature to provide in your apps. You can generate important info from your customers and have it sent directly to you via email, text, and more. With WuFoo, you can also view all form entries through their site, plus analyze the data you receive.
