Hello, I just subscribed to a one-month plan to manage Christmas orders for my little shop. Everything is quite perfect, I really like your tool, but I face 3 small issues for now: 1 - from where is taken the "sender" name when confirmation mail is sent? It looks it take the first page title, right? Any way to configure something else more generic? 2 - Is there any way to empty the orders trash? I did several tests, that are useless now. 3 - I've added a field in my form, to pick up the order at my shop, an appointment field. Working perfectly but in my confirmation mail, the output is not so nice for my customers: 24/12/2024 | 1732391506524 || 08:00 | 1733568773363 * 1. Any way to have only date and time? Last question but not the least :) I would like to have only one month subscription for Christmas, then if it's working well, I'll take a year plan. So, for my month from December 7th to January 7th, should I wait the January 7th to unsubscribe or if I already stop my subscription, my full month is usable properly? Thanks, Bruno

What does it means that promotion say 'Scalable file upload for Google Forms100 responses / month'

Google Forms file upload option requires form respondents to login with their google account to view the form, upload files and submit. You can use Formfacade to collect files without login. You can choose the file upload plan depending on the max file size, total file storage and the expected responses per month. In the Formfacade 10g file upload plan, you get a max file size of 100mb with the total file storage of 10gb. You can collect a total of 100 responses per month.

I have embedded this form into a webpage, and it is working perfectly. I am using submission to trigger an event within Zapier - and the event includes uploading an image to shopify. When this was a plain google form this upload worked, now it is an embedded form the upload files because it says it has the wrong file extension. Could you offer any advice on this please. I also understand that a paid model will be required once I collect a large volume of form entries. Could you please give me more information about the pricing structure - I have seen that it is advertised as starting at 8$ a month, is this correct?

If you want to create a form with file upload, embed it on your website to collect responses, and use Zapier to upload the images to Shopify, you'll need to subscribe to the Formfacade Enhance Professional plan, which includes the embed and file upload features. After subscribing, you'll be able to enable unlisted links for the uploaded files, allowing you to use Zapier or Apps Script to access the files programmatically.

I created a form to take orders for merchandise, and after receiving all the orders, I made a few changes. Unfortunately, I accidentally deleted the color options and then added them back, which updated the form. This change has altered the order details for all previous orders. I need to retrieve the old reports or data to see which items each person originally ordered. Could you please help me access this information? Thank you for your assistance.

If you delete products from the form after collecting orders, the responses for that product will also be deleted. Once deleted, it cannot be restored.  If you have set up the sync to google sheets before deleting the products, then you can view the submitted orders in the linked google sheets. Similarly, if you have set up email notifications, you can view the orders in the email that you would have received for the submitted orders.

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.
