2FA, additional field types and more

Today's update includes new field types, additional security, improvements and bug fixes. Let's dig in...

Two-factor authentication

To add an additional layer of security to your account while logging in, we added the possibility to enable 2FA. You will need an authenticator app like Authy, Microsoft Authenticator, or Google Authenticator to enable this for your account.

Check the account settings to enable 2FA.

New field types

We added 3 new field types:

  • Image: For when you want to show an image on your form. This must not be confused with the "File upload" field, where users can upload files.
  • Embed: For when you want to embed an external resource to your form. This is mostly meant for videos hosted on external platforms. But you are also able to embed other media.
  • Spacer: For when you want to add a little bit more whitespace between form fields. We currently offer 3 different variations of spacing: small, medium and large.

Delay for redirects

It is now possible to set a delay (in seconds) before redirecting after a form was submitted. This can be useful if you want people to see the "Thank you" message before they are being redirected to the redirect URL you specified.

We also fixed the ~500ms delay that occurred before. If you have set a redirect URL and have not set a delay, you are being redirected instantly. Before the update, you would see the "Thank you" message show for a very short moment before being redirected.

Basic formatting for "Subtext"

It is now possible to add basic formatting, such as bold, italic and link, to the "Subtext" field.

Minor changes

We improved the "Connections" setup for forms. They are now available right below the form fields. It is now also much simpler to add / remove / manage connections.

Form connections

Some other, minor changes include the way how data is transmitted / stored. This mainly affects the "Phone" and "Country" field. The "Phone" field now correctly stores the selected country code and not just the entered number. The "Country" field is now stored as "Countryname (Code)", e.g. Germany (DE). Before it was stored as DE - Germany. You can now also set a custom placeholder for the country and dropdown fields.

Apart from those changes and additions, we also fixed a handful of bugs and UI glitches. More to come soon, stay tuned.
