Nurture New Leads With amoCRM and Wufoo Integration
By Kate Brennan · August 13th, 2012
What if you could automatically add leads into your CRM system directly from your website? amoCRM and Wufoo have integrated to help you do just this.
Instead of wasting time manually entering leads into your CRM, the Wufoo integration automatically adds contacts to your amoCRM system when someone fills out your Wufoo form! From there you can assign tasks to yourself (or others) to nurture your new leads.
So stop wasting time, get started with amoCRM and nurture away!
To Use This Integration
You’ll need an account on Wufoo as well as one on amoCRM. Wufoo has both free and paid plans and amoCRM offers a 30-day free trial.
Create a form on Wufoo that will capture your lead data. Basic info like name, email and phone number is easiest to collect from your potential leads, but you can capture whatever fields you need for your business specifically.
Follow these step by step instructions or watch the video below on how to integrate that form into your amoCRM account:
Thanks to Roman Feygenberg and the team at amoCRM for their work on this integration! If you’re interested in integrating your web app with Wufoo, check out our Ultimate Guide for Integrating with Wufoo.
Zapier Connects Wufoo to Dozens of Web Applications
By Kate Brennan · August 6th, 2012
One stop shops are similar to the proverbial unicorn - often talked about, but rarely seen. Zapier is doing its part to tame this mysterious creature.
The company bridges the gap between Wufoo and dozens of other web applications that we don’t yet integrate natively. For example, with Zapier, it’s easy to send Wufoo form entries to your AIM chat window, or to Zendesk to create tickets, or to Basecamp to create to do items and even to AWeber to build a subscriber list. Suddenly the notion of a one stop shop isn’t so far fetched.
Want to integrate one of your favorite web applications with Wufoo, but don’t have the engineering horsepower or time to get it done? There is most likely a Zap for that.
To Use This Integration
You’ll need an account on Wufoo and Zapier as well as one on the web application with which you want to integrate. Wufoo has both free and paid plans and Zapier has a 14-day free trial.
Create a form on Wufoo or start with a template from our form gallery.
Check out these written instructions and watch this video to see how easy it is to integrate that form with another app, like Zendesk, using Zapier:

Easy to use. Drag and drop interface. Customer engagement.

Planned Maintenance - Moving to the Monkey
By Ryan Campbell · June 19th, 2012Hey all, we’re planning to move our entire infrastructure over to the SurveyMonkey datacenter this Wednesday, beginning at 5:30pm PST.
This move will impact your forms in a few ways:
- From 5:30pm to ~7:00pm, you will not be able to create new accounts, new forms, or upload files. All other existing features and forms will work.
- The entire site will be offline for approximately 15 minutes. We anticipate this will start around 7:00pm - 7:30pm PST.
During the outage, your existing forms will show this downtime message. If you have any questions about the maintenance, don’t hesitate to send us a ticket.
We’re sorry for any inconvenience this causes — we hate bringing the site offline. We’re also really excited about the changes it will bring. Most importantly, we will have an entire in-house team handling networking, hardware and administration. We’ll improve our ability to proactively look at issues, and get thorough analysis when things go wrong. Additionally, the team has already begun optimizing our setup, so we’re anticipating everything will run faster and smoother.
Looking forward to seeing you on the other side.

Respond To Your Best Leads Immediately With Form Activate and Wufoo Integration
By Chris Coyier · May 23rd, 2012
Let’s say you run a web development shop and you use a “Request for Proposal” Wufoo form that new potential clients fill out. Now say it’s a Sunday afternoon. You probably aren’t glued to your computer watching for new submissions to this form. They can wait until you go through them Monday morning. But say one request comes through for a huge client with a huge budget and a time sensitive project. You might not want to let that one linger.
With this new integration, your Wufoo form can send data to FormActivate which will determine the importance of this new lead and act accordingly. FormActivate will literally call you on the phone and read aloud the most relevant information from the form submission. Then you can decide what you want to do. Call them or text them back, send it to voicemail, or ignore it. Never miss a vitally important lead again!
To Use This Integration
You’ll need an account on Wufoo and an account on FormActivate. If you are looking to just test this out, Wufoo has free plans and FormActivate has a free 7-day trial.
Now you’ll need to either create a form on Wufoo for capturing leads, identify one of your already-created forms you want to connect to FormActivate, or add one to your account from our gallery.
Then follow the written instructions here. This will guide you through the integration steps on FormActivate. Or for the more visually inclined, here’s a video walkthrough:
Big thanks to Brad Slavin and the whole team at Form Activate for working on this integration. This integration uses WebHooks, one of the many ways to integrate with Wufoo. If you are interested in integrating your web app with Wufoo, check out our Ultimate Guide for Integrating with Wufoo.
Keep Track of your Contacts with KarmaCRM and Wufoo
By Chris Coyier · May 22nd, 2012
KarmaCRM is a Customer Relationship Management web app that will help you keep all your sales leads and contacts “neat and tidy”. Wufoo users will feel right at home in KarmaCRM, with its bright and fun user interface. The idea is this: any Wufoo form you already use can be hooked up to your KarmaCRM account. New submissions to that form will be processed as normal here on Wufoo, but also pass that data to KarmaCRM, which will create a new contact for you there. Or, you could build a form specifically for capturing leads here on Wufoo and connect that.
To Use This Integration
You’ll need an account on Wufoo as well as an account on KarmaCRM. Both of our services have a free plan, if you would simply like to do some testing, as well as more robust paid plans.
Now you’ll need to either create a form on Wufoo for capturing leads, identify one of your already-created forms you want to connect to KarmaCRM, or add one to your account from our gallery.
Then follow KarmaCRM’s written instructions on how to complete the integration. Or for the more visually inclined, watch this video:
Big thanks to Gavin Thole and the whole team at KarmaCRM for their hard work on this integration! This integration uses WebHooks, one of the many ways to integrate with Wufoo. If you are interested in integrating your web app with Wufoo, check out our Ultimate Guide for Integrating with Wufoo.
Bring Your Wufoo Forms To Offline Mobile with Device Magic
By Chris Coyier · May 21st, 2012
Wufoo forms look and work great on mobile devices, but that device needs to have an internet connection if you want it to submit data. If you are in need of a way to use your Wufoo forms offline and have them submit that data later when the device is online, the new Device Magic integration may be the answer for you.
To use this integration:
You’ll need an account on Wufoo and an account on Device Magic. Both of our services have a free plan if you’d like to test it out.
Create a form on Wufoo or add one to your account from our gallery.
Follow this instructional video on how to integrate that form into your Device Magic account:
Thanks very much to the Device Magic team for their work on this integration! If you work on an app and would like to integrate it with Wufoo, check out our guide.
Save with Wufoo’s New Annual Plans
By Kevin Hale · May 14th, 2012
Hey, hey friends and friends of friends! Wufoo Team is checking in with some new plans for our devoted users who are in it with us for the long haul. On our plans and pricing page and under the Account Manager inside Wufoo, you can see that we’ve added a button to allow you to access our new annual plans!
Now you can conveniently pay for a year’s worth of service upfront and also save some money since the new annual plans offer a discount equivalent to about 3 months of service! So if you know that you’re going to need several forms active for a project for many, many months, then you’ll find these new annual plans to be budget friendly.
Many thanks to Chris Campbell and our brothers and sisters at SurveyMonkey for helping us rearchitect our billing system to accomodate these new annual plans. Please note that if you were manually setup on an annual plan by us in the past, there’s no need for you to make any changes. We’ll work with you and take of everything as you come up for renewal.
For users that want to or are currently being charged by invoice, we’re afraid these annual plans are just for users that are okay with being charged via credit card. Don’t worry, though. The ability to request invoice billing is the next phase in our billing improvements. Until then, happy form building!

The Current State of HTML5 Forms Updated
By Chris Coyier · April 11th, 2012About a year ago, Kevin and I attended SXSW to give a talk about HTML5 forms. Here at Wufoo, we closely watch the levels of browser support for HTML5 forms features so we can support them once they reach an acceptable level of maturity. Since we’ve done all that research, we thought why keep it to ourselves? I’m happy to announce that we’ve updated and redesigned all that original research and have it available for your reference.
Our support charts are now more readable and more specific about exactly what browsers support what features at what version. As soon as a browser lineage supports a feature, we color it green and mark the version. We’d like to see a field of solid green in the future!
We’ve also added Android to the charts. The default browser on Android devices is WebKit just like Mobile Safari on iOS, but there are differences in support levels. Documented support is based on the default browser that ships with the OS version (since it’s hard or impossible to update the browser without updating the OS).
Beyond generic value judgements of whether a browser supports the feature or not, we have a dedicated page for every single one of the individual features. For example, the progress element page shown above shows examples of the feature in use, the HTML syntax, browser support levels, screenshots of how it looks in supported and unsupported browsers, and a variety of notes regarding quirks on it’s usage.
We hope this resource is useful to you when working with your own forms outside of Wufoo. There is quite a bit of data here, so please forgive us if you find something amiss. We’d love it if you would report any errors.
