   A good beginners tool to start your digital transformation.

   One of our customers said: Our small mining operation needed to go from paper based process to digital forms. At first, Google forms allowed us to use this Web-based platform that lets individuals and businesses of all sizes build customizable forms to conduct surveys and generate real-time response charts.

   We saw that a small sample of our field workers quickly adopted the new way of working.

   Step 1: accomplished.

   Now unto step 2.

   How do we deploy this unto our whole team? We needed email notifications, offline response collection when without wifi on the field. Our CIO and his director of operations needed deep data and trends analysis as well. Our inspectors, when doing their audits, needed to capture approx. 25 high definition pictures, some audio notes and a video which wasn't really possible with google forms.

   So, we can 100% credit the use of google forms to our transition towards a paperless process, but as we navigated saashub.com a little more, we were able to discover a world of alternatives. We strongly suggest to start using google forms before undergoing a big implementation plan towards such enterprise level inspection tools like nspek or even cheaper solutions like prontoforms.

   I am not sure if we would start with google's solution first if we would to do this digital transformation all over, but it did allow us to discover it's limits pretty quickly.

   At some point, we needed custom fields and functions, and none of us was able to code, so the nSpek training that comes with the application definitely sets it's self apart, giving us full autonomy.

• Ask HN: Why is hosting a contact form so difficult?

  This is just for my personal website. It is mostly the SPAM. I started with the usual simple `contact.php` that emails me when someone fills the form. Then for the longest time, Wufoo[1] (a hosted service) took care of my contact form but I could no longer deal with the spam. I tried Formspree[2] as the free tier API works good enough for my personal use. Then stop dealing with it due to spam, again. I remember... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• A list of SaaS, PaaS and IaaS offerings that have free tiers of interest to devops and infradev

  Formspree.io — Send email using an HTTP POST request. The free tier limits to 50 submissions per form per month. - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago

• Sending files from form submission to webhook?

  I built a form-to-email service like Formspree or Getform. My API accepts form submissions from the client, parses the request with formidable, and then sends the fields via email to the user. Any files submitted with the form are sent as attachments to the email. This way I never store the fields in my database or the files in something like AWS S3. Source: 9 months ago

• Contact Form

  Pretty vague question without too many details. I’ve used formspree on small websites with pretty good success. Even works on static sites https://formspree.io. Source: 10 months ago

• Easiest way to collect emails on landing page?

  I am looking for 3rd party services , something like formspree.io but a more generous free tier. Source: 12 months ago
