SureForms: More than a Form Plugin

There are countless form plugins in the WordPress ecosystem, and most users have found a go-to option. However, SureForms brings a fresh approach to form building, standing out for its simplicity, lightweight design, and seamless integration with other tools in the Sure family of products, particularly SureTriggers.

In my walkthrough of SureForms’ features, I’m going to showcase why it’s a compelling option for anyone looking for an intuitive form builder… but also an amazing tool for creating no-code web apps for your website.

SureForms enters a saturated market of WordPress form builders, with many users already using tools like Fluent Forms, Gravity Forms, or WPForms. So why consider SureForms? If you’re content with your current setup, there may not be a reason to switch. But for those curious about a fresh take, SureForms offers a lightweight, streamlined form-building experience that integrates deeply with other Sure products.

Unlike more cumbersome form builders, SureForms prioritizes ease of use, offering a more natural workflow in the WordPress block editor while maintaining strong flexibility and features. For many users, this lighter footprint could be a game-changer.

Building Forms: From AI to Scratch

SureForms allows users to create forms in two ways: building from scratch or using AI-generated forms.

Building from Scratch

If you’re familiar with the WordPress block editor, you’ll find SureForms’ interface very intuitive. You simply add blocks for various form fields, such as text boxes, email fields, multiple-choice options, and even sliders or time pickers. The ability to customize each block is seamless, allowing for easy adjustments without needing to leave the familiar WordPress editor interface.

1. Add Blocks: SureForms offers an extensive variety of form field options. You can easily add a text field, multiple choice questions, or more advanced elements like a slider or time picker.
2. Customization: Each block has customization options on the right-hand side of the editor. For instance, you can change labels, set default values, and apply conditional logic based on user input.
3. Design Flexibility: You can tweak the layout and design of your form to match your website’s look and feel. SureForms even pulls colors from your WordPress theme, making it easy to stay on-brand.

AI-Generated Forms

SureForms also offers the ability to generate forms using AI, though it’s important to note that this feature is a starting point rather than a full solution. The AI-generated forms can give you a basic structure based on a specific industry or need, but you will likely need to refine and customize the form to fit your exact requirements.

For example, if you’re creating a form for a photography business, SureForms’ AI will generate fields like package options and event details, offering a good base but requiring some tweaking to meet your needs fully.

Integration with SureTriggers: Taking Forms to the Next Level

SureForms’ most impressive feature is its deep integration with SureTriggers, which allows users to connect their forms to a wide array of tools and services. This feature is ideal for automating tasks, such as sending data to a CRM, triggering workflows, or even integrating with AI platforms like OpenAI and Google Gemini.

With SureTriggers, you can automate processes like:

• Sending form submissions to a CRM like HighLevel.
• Creating complex workflows by connecting different apps together.
• Using AI tools to process form data in real-time, such as converting currencies or generating personalized content, then sending it back to SureForms.

Sneak Peek: No-Code Web App Capabilities

SureForms is poised to take the no-code movement a step further by allowing users to create web app-like experiences directly from forms. This functionality is still under development, but my early look at these features was exciting. Users will soon be able to integrate SureForms with AI tools to generate responses based on user input, turning a basic form into a dynamic web app, as well as chaining multiple apps together to create complex application-like experiences.

Example: Currency Converter Web App

In my video, I demonstrate a currency conversion form built using SureForms, integrated with Google Gemini via SureTriggers. Users input their data, and the form returned real-time conversion results based on the current exchange rate. This is just one example of the types of dynamic, real-time tools you could create with SureForms.

That by itself is novel, but not completely unique to SureForms.

Take it up a notch.

Future Potential: SureForms as a Hub for Complex Integrations

The real power of SureForms lies in its future potential to integrate with a variety of tools, enabling users to string together complex workflows without ever leaving WordPress. From simple data collection to building multi-step web apps, SureForms has the flexibility to grow alongside your needs.

Imagine if you had a SureForm that asked where you wanted to go, what you budget was, how many travelers you had with you, favorite foods and types of places to stay, and then it could return a response to you as a downloadable PDF that contained links to book lodging at the best rates, recommended food, and what you should budget based on when and where you’re traveling. That’s like 5-6 different apps all chained together to provide a downloadable response. Incredible!

Conclusion

SureForms is more than just another form plugin for WordPress. With its lightweight, no-code approach, deep integration with SureTriggers, and potential for future development into web app functionality, it offers something truly unique in the form-building space.

For anyone looking for a form builder that is easy to use, integrates with a variety of tools, and has the potential for powerful automations, SureForms is worth considering. And with its upcoming features, it could be the solution that moves beyond basic forms into creating full-fledged interactive web experiences.
