I need this desperately. Is there a work-around?
Great idea, just run into this problem when creating an event with limited spaces.
For this to work properly, I think it would have to be a custom checkbox field that allowed you to define a limit on the number of contacts that can have the value “yes”. That way, you could have a way for attendees to cancel and free up their spot on the list. And if they submited the form more than once because they “weren’t sure if their RSVP form went through,” they wouldn’t take up more than one spot.
I agree with all of the comments above. This is definitely a feature we would like to see in the future too. We’re running a referral promotion right now and would like to cap the number of unique user entries to 3x per day, for example.
Is there a current workaround?
I agree that this would be super beneficial, I’m currently trying to work out a way to manage each session that has limited availability, so was looking to integrate with a room/session booking software like yarooms, but HubSpot nor Zapier will help with this.
Agreed to all previous comments. I want to be able to cap the number of form submissions. This would be helpful for running the following campaign types through HubSpot:
- contests
- event registrations where capacity is limited
We need this badly.
@Hubspot when is this going to be implemented? Considering forms are linked to webinars, events etc it will be very useful to have.
I also agree that HubSpot should have this implemented. What I thought of doing is to create a Workflow that will send me a notification when the submissions reach a certain amount of number. After that I will manually turn off the form in the landing page and add a note saying we’ve reached the limit of attendees.
+1
My team also needs this. Although one manual workaround for small numbers would be to have the form submissions to be emailed to you via the notification. Under form > options > Send submission email notifications to ‘Email address’
This is still manual, but you could save the emails into an email folder to monitor submission numbers
I found other users voicing out this feature as well. It should be pretty helpful for event management too. Glad to see that the idea has been already submitted though!
This is something that is extremely necessary and useful!
I need this too, how do I upvote?
Edit: nvm, found a way to upvote.
We would also like to have this feature. It would be helpful if we could limit the same contact filling out forms twice. Now, 1 contact can subscribe to a form multiple times, which we would like to avoid for events and webinars.
We often have the situation that we have events with limited space. Therefore we have to close the landing page when the limit is reached.
I also agree.
However, I would take it a step further .
I use a form for multiple training classes -- one question is what class would you like to attend (a unique contact property I created), each option from the drop down is set up with its own workflow which adds the person filling out the form that has selected that class to be added to a specific list (registrants list) for that class. Once this list reach a certain number of people -- I would like that option from the dropdown menu to be hidden.
I think this will be a very useful feature for event management especially when customers wish to cap sign ups at a certain limit!
We have clients that need this functionality critically. Also, it would be ideal for the cap on form submissions to be an acceptable workflow trigger that would switch a LP template from form to text.
This is CRITICAL right now as many of our clients run events that are limited in attendance.
