Exciting new form builder tools and changes in policy & pricing.

The current version revolves around 4 important new tools and deals with important policy changes.


The new tools are:
1- SMS Alerts
2- Real-Time Email address validation
3- Private Forum
4- Field Masking


SMS Alerts
This feature allows the form owner to receive Sms alerts in addition to the ones he/she get via email. The purchased SMS’s may be applied to all active forms in the account.
Learn more about SMS Alerts.
Purchase bulk of SMS’s.


Email validation
Using this feature the form owner can make sure that the email address which is entered in his form is valid (is not a fake address/ is not incorrect). The validation takes place in real-time while the form filler is filling in the form.
Read more about email validation


Private Forum
A messaging system allowing the form owner and the form filler to exchange messages back and forth in the form of a private forum.
Read all about the private forum.


Field Masking
A regular textbox may be formatted to collect: alpha numeric data, numeric data, date (month, day and year) and time (hour, minute and second).

In addition to the detailed features the current version contains:
Open in grid bug fix- the checkbox, which was turned on by default, sometimes used to change to “turned on” even when it was defined as “turned off”. This was dealt with and the defaultive stste was also changed to “turned off”.


There have also been 3 changes in the FormLogix policy (see pervious posts):

An automatic account cleanup and termination policy.
According to this termination policy user accounts which are found to have no paid forms in them for the last *60 days will be terminated. Read all about it.

The 30 day trial period available for private use only.
due to massive abuse and spamming on behalf of trial version users we have decided to limit the trial version to private usage only. Forms created in this version cannot be used externally to collect data – only the forms owner is allowed to enter data in them.

Change in Policy and Prices


Policy - trial period available for private use only.
In the last 3 years we have been providing free forms, during this period many users were blocked due to form abuse and spamming. This situation became worse in the last few months forcing us to deal with it.

Due to this massive form abuse and spamming we decided to limit the 30 day trial version to private use only, making data entry in the form available to the forms owner only.
We wish to keep providing a free trial version and we will keep on doing so for private usage only.

New - FormLogix 60 days account cleanup policy starting on October 17th

On October 17th FormLogix will start applying an automatic account cleanup and termination policy.
According to this termination policy user accounts which are found to have no paid
forms in them for the last *60 days will be terminated – this procedure will be
performed automatically, without a notification to the account owner.

‘Terminated’ means that all forms and data will be deleted without an option
to restore them and that the account will be closed.

*60 days - 60 days previous to cleanup date, checked at any given time and starting with 60 days passed the user’s registration date.
