Multi Step Forms - Possible??

解決

Hi is it possible to achieve a "multi-step" form through hubspot. The first part of the form would be the basics, First Name, Last Name, Work Email and Company Name. Once the user clicks "Next" we would ask them to fill in more details. If they leave before or after next we will capture their info and assign them to a lifecycle stage and if they finish the next step we will qualify them for a sales call. Is this possible, if so how can I achieve this? TYIA ハート

Multi Step Forms - Possible??

解決

hey I don't know if anyone's still looking for a solution to this. 

 

I wrote a how to + shared the code for creating 2 step forms.

 

However with this method you can chain any amount of forms if you want, it's just nicer to split the code into neat functions rather than what is done in the how-to.

 

hopefully this helps someone!

 

how-to:

code: https://gist.github.com/thesnappingdog/44e470c160e13d3208ad5cf613027a47

 

P.S. this works without hiccups except that... completing two step form counts as.. two form submissions 😄 

 

Edit: I made a multi step generator so nobody has to painfully copy paste code. see other reply for more details:

Hi @Jonnydk and everyone,

 

This is now possible in HubSpot and in public beta!

 


Forms

Multi-Step Forms

August 6, 2024
 

What is it?

Multi-Step Forms tackles the problem of form abandonment by breaking down longer forms into manageable parts, providing visitors with a sense of accomplishment and encouraging completion.

 

Why does it matter?

Website visitors are more likely to complete shorter segments of a form than a long, daunting single page. This incremental approach can significantly improve conversion rates.

 

karstenkoehler_2-1723005389356.png

 

How does it work?

You will be able to create forms with a single step, add a step, remove a step.

And move fields and moved contents between steps.

Multi Step Forms - Possible??

解決

Hey, this worked for me, thanks!

I'm kind of a developer, but not really. (lol) So I'm wondering, how much do I have to worry about the data array index changing in the future? I know it's out of our control and Hubspot isn't going to send out a user-wide email, but if this custom code ever stops working, it might be difficult to catch.

Also, if someone quits halfway through the forms, I know we can send them a reminder email to come back and fill it out using the HS automations, but is there a way to send them to the exact step on the original page? Otherwise, the workaround is to create individual pages corresponding to individual steps. Then updating the embed code to only include the forms from that point forward.

 

Thank you!

You need to insert your hubspot account portal ID and the relevant form IDs. Have you done that?

Multi Step Forms - Possible??

解決

Thanks for this - I'm running your code above (and have elongated it to 5 forms) and it's showing them sequentially front end (on my Wordpress site). However the data is only being captured in HubSpot for the first form submission – it's as though it's not linking the other 4 forms that follow to the Contact record.

I've replaced the $ (dollar sign) with "jQuery" as suggested by @thesnappingdog in his original article and have played aorund with both the original array level and your suggested depper array @squatchcreative.

 

Is there anything else I should look at to ensure that the email is being handed off correctly between forms?

(Evidentally, I'm not a JS pro, so appreciate the help!)

@SimonKay  It's impossible to troubleshoot your issue without seeing your code.  Were you having success with it working as 2 steps before you turned it into 5 steps? I would start there before you added to the complexity of the form.  Begin with two forms, use @thesnappingdog example, and see if that works.   Find out if it is handing off the email to the next form with just 2. If it doesn't, post that code, and any errors in your console when it doesn't work.  If it does work, try 3, and so on.  

 

My example and his example traverse down a Javascript array differently, so which one are you using?  Did you try the other?  Try outputting the email variable to your console log -- see what it says.  Is it blank?  Does it output the email correctly?  When you go to the 2nd step, inspect your email field.... did it place the email value in there for you?  You need to check all of these things to make sure you are actually passing the email variable.

 

Good luck.

I appreciate that, thanks @squatchcreative. Code below this.

I tried scaling from 2, to 3,4,5 forms. On all fronts, the form progressed through the sequence (i.e. on submit, I was able to see and complete the next form), however HubSpot is only recording the data submitted from the FIRST form. As though it's not attributing the following forms with that Contact – and therefore isn't passing the email variable.

I tried with both array options. I also altered the JS script link (as mentioned in the thread) and played with switching the "$" vs. "jQuery" variables (you'll see I landed on the latter in my code below, since this actually allowed the forms to appear one after another).

So it would appear the issue is the email hand-off.

 

Thanks for your help – much appreciated.

 

 

<div id="form-container"></div>
<script charset="utf-8" type="text/javascript" src="https://js.hsforms.net/forms/v2.js"></script>

	hbspt.forms.create({

I remember running into this problem as well when building the proto:

 

var incoming = $(form).serializeArray();
data.push(incoming);
form.find('input[name="email"]').val(data[0][0].value).change();

 

I think it started happening if i $(form).serializeArray multiple times, then the data var ended up having other arrays in it :S

that's awesome @squatchcreative @rwolupo ! I was thinking about this yesterday, and specifically how @squatchcreative you probably had to do a lot of copypasting with a 6 step form.. I'm gonna try to make a multi-step generator so that you guys only need to edit a formId array, target and portal id. 

 

At the end of the day hbspt.forms.create() just needs an object with info and it should be possible to make that programmatic (first step options, inbetween, last form options)

hey @Jonnydk @rwolupo @squatchcreative @elanashama can I ask you to be pilots for something.

 

Long story short, I made a generator that does all the work you'd have to do with my previous code. It will create as many steps as you have forms.

 

Now you just need to edit:

 

- forms = [form1, form2, etc]

- target = 'container id'

- portalId = 'your portal id'

 

It worked flawlessly for me on a Chrome browser, each steps' submission was recorded in the CRM. I tried with 3 forms, then with 4. It's written in more modern javascript so if this works well I could see what the code would be in old timey script.

Please see the README.md before implementing and please let me know if there's bugs / errors either here or on github 🙏

Hi @thesnappingdog ,

 

Is there a way to add a "previous" button to the second form, so that someone can go back to the first form? Also, when doing so, would the user lose all data inserted into the second form?
