Wufoo forms integration
Use Wufoo forms to collect information
Forms allow you to collect information from intranet users. You could use forms to collect vacation requests, conduct a survey, or find out what your colleagues plan to bring to an upcoming potluck lunch. Using Wufoo, you can create forms customized to your organization's branding, add various field types for collecting different types of information, and receive notifications about new form entries.
Before you can embed Wufoo forms on intranet pages, several things have to happen:
- You or someone in your organization creates a Wufoo account at www.wufoo.com
- The intranet administrator enables Wufoo integration on your intranet, using information from the Wufoo account that was created,
- The intranet administrator allows users to embed Wufoo forms. (If your intranet administrator does not allow this, only administrators will be able to add Wufoo forms to your intranet.)
Access Wufoo forms on your intranet
Wufoo integration allows intranet users to be able to add Wufoo forms to intranet pages. A specific Wufoo account is integrated with the intranet so that forms created under that account are accessible for embedding on intranet pages. The ability to add forms to intranet pages can be allowed for all users or restricted to administrators only.
Enable Wufoo integration
- Go to the Admin Panel: Integrations section > Wufoo page.
- Click enable.
- In the Wufoo subdomain field, enter the subdomain you use to access your Wufoo account. (eg. if you access your Wufoo account at http://acme.wufoo.com, your subdomain is acme.)
- In the Wufoo API token field, enter your Wufoo API key. For more information, see Finding your key.
