Top 10 Jotform features for managing your form data

Here at Jotform, we know that data management tools are essential. That’s why we’re always developing new features that help our users spend less time on tedious tasks and focus more on what matters.

Let’s take a look at 10 Jotform integrations and tools that will make handling your data a breeze.

1. Digest Emails

Instead of receiving a notification for every submission, you can receive a summary of your form submissions daily, weekly, or monthly. You can also choose which questions will be part of your digest. This helps reduce clutter in your inbox.

2. Field Manager

Our Field Manager integration gives you a shortcut for changing form fields. You can use Field Manager to delete multiple fields, change the order of your fields, or clone fields to another form, all in one place.

This is a great alternative to making changes by toggling between different forms, which can be a hassle.

3. Data import

You can seamlessly transfer data from a spreadsheet to Jotform Tables, whether it’s from an Excel or a CSV file. Jotform even has a Report Builder that lets you generate a visual report of your data directly from an imported file.

4. Webhooks

The Webhooks integration helps you send notifications about form submissions to a URL of your choosing. All you have to do is copy and paste a link to set it up. We have a guide available to walk you through the steps.

5. Spreadsheet integrations

If you’re already using a spreadsheet program, you can use a Jotform integration to sync your form with it.

We have multiple integration options, so if you want to incorporate Google Sheets, Airtable, or Microsoft Excel, you can easily have the best of both worlds.

6. Auto-Delete Submissions

You can automatically delete submissions when you transfer submission data elsewhere. This is great if you have sensitive data you want to keep on only one platform or you want to make space. You can also schedule deletion periods for even more convenience. Check out our help guide for more info. 

7. Filtering submissions

Jotform makes it easy for you to find submission data by letting you filter your search. You can easily add multiple search filters in Jotform Tables, Jotform Inbox, and Jotform Report Builder to find what you need instead of scrolling through entries.

8. Cloud storage integrations

We know that backing up your data is important, so we’ve set up integrations with some of the most popular cloud storage platforms, including Google Drive, Dropbox, and OneDrive. With these, you can immediately store your data and give yourself some peace of mind.

9. Input masking

Our input masking feature helps ensure that answers in your form are consistently in a specific format. 

For example, if you’re collecting phone numbers, input masking can restrict respondents to entering numbers only.

10. FTP form integration

If you prefer to store data in your own server, our file transfer protocol, or FTP, form integration helps you transfer submissions and files from Jotform.

All you need to do is type in your FTP credentials, choose the folder destination, and select some options. Once your credentials are saved, your submission data and files will automatically be forwarded to your server.
