Hi everyone,

 

I'd like to thank you all for taking the time to submit, vote and comment on this Idea.

My name is Jenny and I'm the new Product Manager of the Forms & CTA tool. 

We're currrently actively developing the functionality that allows you to easily unpublish a form - and will address the form submission limits as a natural next step. 

 

All updates will be relayed on this thread, so stay tuned!

 

Thanks

Jenny Mueller

We have a lot of customers using HubSpot for events. These events all have a limit when it comes to participants.

We have to manually keep an eye on the number of participants, which is isn't really working for us or our customers.

We would really need a way of making forms close (showing a text saying the event is full or showing a different form for getting on the reserve list) after a certain amount of submissions. Or when a list reaches a certain number of contacts.

This is critical! The biggest use case is event and limiting the number of submissions. Incorporating this functionality will enable marketing folks to NOT have to use tools like Eventbrite.

+1 we need that too. Either a certain number of submision or after a certain date / deadline.

The lack of this feature prevents us from implementing all our forms to Hubspot (including the ones where we could use Hubspot/Stripe payments). 820 upvotes also indicate a lively interest from other Hubspot users. would be great to get the feature.

Very much needed, otherwise it's awkward to work around when an event fills to capacity

Our organization needs this feature as well. It's surprising to me that this had been requested as far back as 2017 and it still isn't available in the HubSpot system.

We also would HIGHLY benefit from this!! We are having to go through Google Forms and integrate that with another platform.

I just attended a HubSpot Webinar talking about the events feature and all of the major improvements coming to it. If this is not something we see in those big improvements I'm going to be SEVERLY disappointed. This has been an issue for SEVEN years and we are still struggling with it. even a feature we can work into a workflow to flow into a waitlist would be a good work around. 

 

I'm going to upvote this and continue to preach that Hubspot is a great CRM but this is a feature we NEED.

This is a necessary feature!

This and would love if there was a way to have a controlling property for submission. So if they have "x" property filled out, they cannot submit again until that property is cleared.

We previously used Act-On, and when you build a form in their platform, there is an option to enter a date for the form to expire. Then you can redirect users somewhere else once the form has expired, such as to the "Contact Us" page on your website. We were convinced to switch to HubSpot, with HS reps saying that Act-On is antiquated, but that has not been the case. Act-On had many more capabilities, and now we are in a two-year contract with HubSpot. 


There should be an option in HubSpot forms to expire or unpublish them. We use forms for event registration. We need to either cap it at a certain number of people, and once that number is reached, we can say registration is closed (Act-On had this capability). Or, we need an expiration date or an unpublish button... something. Even though it would be preferable to have all the options. The suggestion to delete the form entirely is entirely unprofessional.

At the moment, the only way to handle this is by setting a notification when the list reaches a certain size. Disabling the form still has to be done manually, and there's no guarantee it happens in time. We'd really love to see this feature added! Many of our clients have asked about it.

Please do this - it would be great to even be able to unpublish/or make no longer live. We use hubspot for reigstration and it's frustrating not to be able to turn off the forms.

We are after this functionality as well. We have an event that we want to limit to 60 people but the only way to do that at the moment is to set up a list and regularly check it to see when it hits 60, then take  the form down.

It would be great if, when setting up the form, we could put in a limit of how many submissions it will allow

Hi @Sassika, in addition to a list, I also use a workflow to send me a notification every time someone submits the form, and then I have a link to the list, so that I don't need to guess when to look at the list. That's been our workaround for now, so I thought I would share. 🙂

This seems like a no-brainer. Please add this feature!

We're really struggling with the inability to cap form submissions for event registrations... both physical and virtual.
