Wizards make it easier to configure what happens to the data when a user submits your form and what the users see after submitting the form. Configure Form Actions (what the user sees) and Document Actions (what happens to my data) on the associated tabs in the Settings wizard.

Info
  • Form and Document Actions functions for workflows are very similar to those for forms. The term "Form Actions" used on this page also refers to "Workflow Actions".
  • Forward to PayPal is not available in workflows, but can be configured following this documentation.
  • Document Actions that happen in between steps are known as Activity Doc Actions. See the Email & Webhook documentation for details.

...

The wizards help guide you through the configuration process. Many of the wizards allow you to use form controls as templates to dynamically create what the users sees rather than hard coding this. See the section on UsingTemplatesinForm/Doc/ErrorActions1069515353 for full details. Hover over any field in the wizards for a helpful hint.

Display Message when User Submits Form

After the user submits the form/workflow, the browser will display a standard frevvo page with a text message. For example, the message might say, “Thank you for completing our form.” You supply the specific text in the Message field. This option works best for relatively brief messages. It can be tricky to enter or edit large amounts of text in the wizard's Message field, so for verbose messages consider creating a simple HTML page for your message and choosing the Forward User to your Web Page wizard.

The message can be customized, using the wizard's control dropdown, with values the user enters into the form. For example, if your form contains a fields named firstName and lastName, you can set your message to "Thank you {firstName} {lastName}". Now when a user submits the form the controls templates {firstName} and {lastName} will automatically be replaced with field values "Thank you, Joe Smith". See UsingTemplatesinFormUsing Templates in Form/Doc/ErrorActionsError Actions for full details.

Another useful message is to display a link back to the form. For example the display message:

...

Workflows do not have a corresponding "Forward to PayPal to complete Payment" action. However, you can configure either the Workflow Action: Forward users to a webpage of your choice or a link control in an individual step to connect to PayPal from a workflow.

The wizards help guide you through the configuration process. Many of the wizards allow you to use form controls as templates for dynamic behavior. See the section on UsingTemplatesinForm/Doc/ErrorActions1069515353 for full details. Hover over any field in the wizards for a helpful hint.

See DocURIWizards1069515353 below for details on using the wizards to configure doc URI settings. Please also refer to the processing submissions tutorial.

The wizards help guide you through connecting your forms/workflows to various destinations. Many of the wizards allow you to use form controls as templates to dynamically configuring wizard parameters. For example you can dynamically set the email address to send the data to instead of hard coding an email address. See the section on UsingTemplatesinDocAction/DocURIWizards1069515353 for full details.

Info

Doc action wizards are single select. If you set up one of the wizards then configure an action using a second wizard, the information configured on the first wizard will no longer display. This is as designed.

Let's say you want to send an email after your form/workflow is submitted but you are also using the Filesystem connector to save your submissions to a directory on a local server. You configure the Filesystem connector wizard to do this. Then your configure the Email data to a specified address wizard to send the email. If you return to the Filesystem connector wizard, after configuring the email wizard, the information that you entered on the Filesystem connector screens will no longer display. In this situation, you can use the email wizard on the AdditionalEmailWizard 1069515353 tab to configure your email

...

Note
The form's save property controls whether or not your form submission data is also stored in frevvo's submission repository

...

When the form is submitted, frevvo POSTs the document set to the specified URI and ignores any returned XHTML or redirect. This option may be used for additional processing of data. Use PostDatathenForwardtoWebPage1069515353 if you want to both submit data to your URI and forward to a web page or display returned XHTML.

...

Set up the Save to Google wizard. Then use the AdditionalEmail1069515353 tab to configure the email to the IT department.

...

An email notification is sent to all tenant administrators or the workflow administrator(s) (if configured) when a Form Action post, DOC URI or DOC Action fails and the submission does not reach it's intended destination. When the form/workflow is submitted, the user sees the message "Thank You! Your submission has been received." and then the appropriate admin is notified via email. The email is sent when the following Form/Doc actions are configured in a form/workflow:

This is not applicable to the email doc action since it is asynchronous and the notification would fail if the service were unavailable. Refer to each topic for more information.
