We created Candu Forms to allow you to easily capture data about your users or feedback from your users in your existing product without having to use another third-party tool. You can build onboarding surveys, feedback surveys, or contact forms using a combination of common input fields like checkboxes, select lists, and text areas.

Common Use Cases for Forms

Some everyday use cases for Candu Forms:

  • Sign-up Flows/Onboarding Surveys

  • Product Feedback Surveys

  • Registration Forms

You can then use any data captured via your Forms in Segmentation to personalize user experiences based on their answers and drive self-serve activation, conversion, and retention rates.


Use Case: Sign-up Flows/Onboarding Surveys

Use Forms in your sign-up flow into your product to capture key user information from the get-go.

Ask questions such as:

  • Their primary use case for using your product

  • Their role

  • What industry they belong to

  • What existing tools do they already have

This information will help you better understand how to set your users up for success with your product and decrease their time-to-first-value during activation.

Alternatively, once a user has signed up, you could create a banner or button with an onboarding survey nested in an overlay to gather key information like the below:

Use Case: Product Feedback Survey

Capture how your users find certain features or new releases in a scalable way by creating a quick survey (why not nest it inside a Candu Overlay? πŸ‘€) - this will be an easy, timely way to capture critical qualitative feedback in-app.

Creating Forms

You can start creating Forms in the editor under Components > Forms, where there are several pre-built forms and templates, or you can start from scratch and build your own!
​
Once you get results, you can use this data in Candu Segments, export your results into a CSV file, or use Webhooks to sync your results with the rest of your tech stack, such as your CRM, email tool, or data warehouse.
