We released a small but significant (at least to some of our customers) improvement today.

Previously, when embedding Deftform on pages other than your homepage (root domain), the response would not use the complete URL as referrer. Now, we show the full URL of any page where your form is embedded, making it easier to track form locations and improve your site analytics.

Please note that it's not possible to make this work for existing submissions, only for new ones.

Many of our customers noted (and partially complained) that webhooks are not sent in real-time, but with a delay. It has been like that ever since we introduced webhooks. This delay was on purpose and only lasted up to 1 minute.

But we get it, you want the data to be transmitted instantly and today we'd like to report that this is now the case. We hope you like this small, but for many, important change.

While we were at it, a bug has been fixed that would prevent webhooks from being sent if a prior webhook event in the queue had failed. Also, we now send email notifications to admins if an event failed and mark the failed endpoint with a warning (and the error message, if one was given).

We added some additional styling options so your forms can be further tweaked. Here is a demo of a wider form area, different font, no border radius and more: https://share.deftform.com/3F7jPn

Additional fonts

You can now select a different font if our default one (Inter) is too boring for you. For now, we added 10 additional fonts to choose from. We will likely add new fonts every once in a while.

If you want us to add a specific font, head over to https://fonts.bunny.net and pick the one you like. Let us know via in-product chat. Please note that we will not add fonts that are very hard to read.

Making form frame wider

We also added an option to make the form area wider. You can choose from 5 additional widths now.

Padding option for embedded forms

Due to popular demand, we also added an option to add padding to embedded forms. You can choose between 4 different values.

What else

We also added options to change the border radius for fields and buttons and also added an option to set the active color for checkboxes and radio boxes ("Single select" and "Multi select").

And last but not least, we added an option to upload a custom CSS file.

🔧 Small bug fix

A bug was fixed that would prevent Stripe products from being added due to the length of the product description.

Ever since Deftform launched in April 2024, it was possible to archive responses. Those responses could not be accessed anymore and our customers had no option to restore them in any way. It was planned to build this option soon after launch, but we were occupied with other things involving the platform. And zooom, almost a year has passed and we finally got to it... phew!

To be fair, many other, more important things were added in between.

In addition, responses can now be permanently deleted. Before that, only we as platform owner were able to fully delete those archived responses upon request by our customers (nobody ever asked us so far).

Today, we added an option to categorize and search forms.

Creating tags

To create tags, head over to the workspace settings. You can create as many tags as you want and rename them whenever needed.

Assigning tags

To assign tags, open any of your forms. At the bottom, you will see a new option to add a tag.

After you assigned tags to your forms, you can use the new filter on the forms overview page. We also added a search bar to quickly find a form by searching the title.

Save as favorite

You can also save a filter as favorite to quickly access the forms from within the main navigation.
