We often find ourselves looking for efficient ways to streamline the workflow, in a pursuit of higher productivity.\\\n\\\nOne powerful combination that can significantly impact your workflow is the integration of Slack with Formester, providing you with real-time submission notifications that keep you in the loop without overwhelming your inbox. \n\n## Simplifying Integration with OAuth\n\n![Oauth home page, allow formester to send slack messages](https:\u002F\u002Fformester-strapi.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\u002Fscreely_1701079975753_c31f49d699.png \"Oauth home page, allow formester to send slack messages\")\n\nOne of the standout features of this integration is the utilisation of OAuth for secure and straightforward permission management. With just a single click, you can grant permission to enable the exchange of messages between Formester and Slack. This means no lengthy setup processes or complex configurations – just a simple integration that increases your team's efficiency.\n\n## Real-Time Submission Notifications\n\nImagine being instantly notified on Slack every time a submission is made on your form. This real-time update ensures that you are always aware of new entries, allowing for swift response times and improved collaboration. Whether you're managing a team, overseeing a project, or simply staying organised, staying informed in real-time can make all the difference.\n\n## Customisable Notification Settings\n\n![Enable\u002Fdisable slack notification with single click](https:\u002F\u002Fformester-strapi.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\u002Ftoggle_notification_76a1aed8f3.png \"Enable\u002Fdisable slack notification with single click\")\n\nAcknowledging the importance of flexibility, the integration offers customisable notification settings. If, for any reason, you need to temporarily pause notifications or if you prefer a more selective approach to receiving messages, you have the power to tailor the integration to your specific needs. This ensures that you stay in control of your communication channels without feeling overwhelmed.\n\n## Improving Cooperation Among Teams\n\nYou're encouraging collaboration as well as process simplification when you integrate Slack with Formester. With real-time notifications, your team can collaborate more effectively, staying on the same page. This integration serves as a catalyst for better teamwork rather than just being a technological addition.\n\n## Steps to integrate slack\n\n### Step 1: Navigate to Formester Integrations\n\n![Select a desired form on which you want to integrate slack notification.](https:\u002F\u002Fformester-strapi.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\u002Fforms_home_784f027ada.png \"Select a desired form on which you want to integrate slack notification.\")\n\n![Click on the integration menu for a list of integrations tools.](https:\u002F\u002Fformester-strapi.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\u002Fbuilder_2d33fcc5ef.png \"Click on the integration menu for a list of integrations tools.\")\n\nNavigate to a form for which you want to turn on the slack notification. Inside form click on the integration section.

This can be used to collect personal information as well as\nquestions about the client's goals, project preferences, experience, skills\nand budget.\n\nIt helps you gather information about the client, understand their needs, plan strategies based on this information and document progress along the way. Having such detail is essential for you to provide the best service possible.\n\n![How to create an impressive intake form in five easy steps](https:\u002F\u002Fformester-strapi.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\u002Fhow_to_create_an_impressive_intake_create_impressive_intake_form_877608c6bb.png 'How to create an impressive intake form in five easy steps')\n\n## Pro tips for producing an effective intake form\n\n### 1. Start with a compelling introduction\n\nThe introduction of your intake form is the most important part. It’s where you should get straight to the point and explain why this form is important to you, as well as what information you need from your client in order to best serve them.\n\nIn addition to providing an overview of your organization or yourself, it’s also a good idea to explain what exactly will happen if they fill out your intake form and how that would benefit them (or others). This might sound like an obvious statement, but many people forget about this step!\n\n### 2. Use a personalized and friendly tone\n\nYou can make your intake form take on an impressive appearance by using a personalized and friendly tone. This will help you create a more comfortable environment for the client, and they're much more likely to fill out your forms if they feel they're in good hands. When writing the questions, try not to use complex jargon. This could get some clients frustrated.\n\n### 3. Provide a reason for them to fill out the form\n\nIt's essential to explain why your intake form is necessary and how it will benefit the client. If you can show them that their information will be used in a way that benefits them, they are more likely to fill out the form.\n\n### 4. Sometimes remember less is more\n\nThis is the most important thing to keep in mind when creating your intake form: asking for too much information will just make you look like a data miner or potential spammer! In other words, ask only what's needed to provide the service or product that you're offering.\n\n## Basic questions to consider\n\nIt is natural that when you first consider to include an intake form in your website, blog or share it across your social media accounts, you might be at a loss. That’s when it's ideal (and even a safe bet) to include the most obvious and basic questions. You could ask:\n\n- Your client’s name\n\n- Their age\n\n- Their gender\n\n- Phone number\n\n- Email address\n\n## Go deeper\n\nOnce you are done with the basics, it’s time to consider asking questions that will help you to get to know your client in detail.\n\n- Ask the scope of the project they would like you to undertake or the service you can provide.\n\n- It’s also advisable to check with your client if they have worked with any other businesses who provide the same services such as yourself. (This may help you know your competitors).\n\n- If a client has been referred by another provider or organization, it will be helpful to ask them questions about their previous experiences with other providers. (This gives you insight into what kind of services they expect and how best you can offer them the best experience).\n\n## Winning points in a nutshell\n\n- Keep it simple, use a single page, and make it easy to read.\n\n- Don't make the client scroll; use graphics and images when needed.\n\n- Use conversational language rather than complex terms.\n\n- Be upfront about how you’ll use their information, who will have access to it, and what they can do if they have concerns or need assistance.\n\n## How to Create an Impressive Intake Form in 5 Easy Steps with Formester\n\nLet’s assume you run an online digital company that offers services such as content writing, digital marketing, graphic designing or website creation. As you get more and more customers, it is becoming a hassle for you to keep track of new clients reaching out to you.\n\nTo streamline the process, you finally decide to use a simple client intake form that helps you ease out the rush and filter data. Here’s how you can create a form in six simple steps using [Formester](\u002F).\n\n### Step 1: Set it up\n\nAfter you sign up for formester, you will reach the forms page. Here, click the 'create form' button. You can then start including the name of the form (example: New Client List), the URL (ideally your company website) which your customers will reach after they fill the form, the email that has to be alerted when a client enters his\u002Fher details. You can then opt for ‘Drag & Drop’.\n\n![Form accepting details like form name, redirect url and type of service for creating new form](https:\u002F\u002Fformester-strapi.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\u002Fhow_to_create_an_impressive_intake_create_new_form_page_39aebb90d6.png 'Form accepting details like form name, redirect url and type of service for creating new form')\n\n### Step 2: Ask the obvious\n\nFormester has a simple drag and drop feature that lets you quickly use it without any assistance. It’s always crucial to start your form with the most basic and obvious questions. Asking for their email addresses or phone numbers will help you reach them out.\n\n![Form builder being used for quickly creating form intake with name, email and phone number fields](https:\u002F\u002Fformester-strapi.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\u002Fhow_to_create_an_impressive_intake_ask_the_obvious_761439e9e4.png 'Form builder being used for quickly creating intake form with name, email and phone number fields')\n\nYou also have the option to add titles to your form. Clicking on the ‘heading text’ box allows you to add your own words. Give an appropriate title based on your target clients or theme of the services you provide.\n\n![Updating form heading with an appropriate title](https:\u002F\u002Fformester-strapi.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\u002Fhow_to_create_an_impressive_intake_add_relevant_form_heading_60d15b40a7.png 'Updating form heading with an appropriate title')\n\n### Step 3: Simplify\n\nYou also have the option to include ‘multi-choice questions’. This is ideally used to filter the type of clients you receive. The left hand side of the dashboard helps you rearrange the choices or even choose the on\u002Foff option for ‘required’ questions.\n\n![Left sidebar showing toggle button to mark question as required](https:\u002F\u002Fformester-strapi.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\u002Fhow_to_create_an_impressive_intake_make_it_easy_for_them_2889e944c1.png 'Left sidebar showing toggle button to mark question as required')\n\n### Step 4: Go long for more\n\n‘Long text’ box helps you include questions that require longer answers. This is suitable to understand and gather a quick picture of what your client expects from your services.\n\n![Taking in longer answers is made easier with the long text box on the intake form](https:\u002F\u002Fformester-strapi.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\u002Fhow_to_create_an_impressive_intake_go_long_for_more_0a72e03abe.png 'Taking in longer answers is made easier with the long text box on the intake form')\n\nAlso consider including a question that allows you to understand the goals of your clients. This ensures you to offer services that suit their needs.\n\n![Including the question \"What are your goals for the project?\" to better understand the client's objective](https:\u002F\u002Fformester-strapi.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\u002Fhow_to_create_an_impressive_intake_go_long_for_more_699dd723fd.png (Including the question \"What are your goals for the project?\" to better understand the client's objective))\n\n### Step 5: Publish!\n\n![The form is published and the URL is copied](https:\u002F\u002Fformester-strapi.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\u002Fhow_to_create_an_impressive_intake_publishing_form_after_creation_3e609c3c02.png 'The form is published and the URL is copied')\n\n","blog\u002Fblog\u002Fcreate-impressive-intake-form.md",1200,{"text":96},"6 min read",{"title":98,"author":7,"authorImage":8,"authorProfile":9,"coverImg":99,"coverImgAlt":100,"createdAt":101,"description":102,"featured":14,"jsonld":103,"keywords":104,"metaDescription":105,"metaImage":106,"metaTitle":107,"publishedAt":108,"slug":109,"updatedAt":110,"__hash__":111,"body":112,"id":113,"coverImgWidth":25,"coverImgHeight":26,"readingStats":114},"Best Formstack Alternatives (Free & Paid)","https:\u002F\u002Fformester-strapi.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\u002Fan_illustration_of_formstack_alternatives_e1d807f198.png","an illustration of formstack alternatives","2024-09-02T00:51:23.315Z","Find the best Formstack alternatives.
