Import Forms From Another Account as Zip Files

I've downloaded 10 forms from another Jotform account as a ZIP.
How can I upload them in my current account?
I need them as quick as possible and can't rebuild all of them :(

Hi HSE.swiss,

Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. I'm an AI assistant here to assist you.

To upload your forms from a ZIP file into your current Jotform account, unfortunately, Jotform does not support direct uploading of forms from a ZIP file. Instead, you will need to import each form individually using the form import feature if you have the form URLs or use the Jotform Import tool if available.

Here’s how to do it:

1. Open your Jotform account and go to My Forms.
2. Click on the Create Form button.
3. Select Import Form.
4. Choose the option to import from a URL or upload the form file if you have individual form files.
5. Repeat this for each form you want to add to your account.

Unfortunately, there is no bulk upload for multiple forms from a ZIP file at once, so importing forms one by one is necessary.

Give it a try and let us know how it goes.

Hi HSE.swiss,

If you'd like to have the same forms from another account, the only options that are available are either by cloning the forms in your account using their direct URL, or transfer the forms from the other account to your account.

Cloning an Existing Form From a URL is easy. Let me walk you through it:

1. On your My Workspace page, click on Create on the top-left side of the page.

2. Select Form from the assets, and then click on Import Form.

3. In the next window, click on From a Web Page. 

4. Paste the form link into the Enter URL field and click on Create Form.

After cloning your form, it will open in Form Builder automatically. You can now edit it the way you want and publish it. But if you'd like to transfer the forms instead, the owner of the account where the forms belong to should do the transfer.

Note that when transferring a form, all its submission data moves with it, and the receiving account becomes the new owner. There are a few things you need to be aware of:

• If you're using a custom URL, it’ll automatically update from https://form.jotform.com/{yourUsername}/{your-custom-url-slug} to https://form.jotform.com/{New_Owner_Username}/{your-custom-url-slug}.
• The transfer can’t be undone unless the new owner agrees to send the forms back.
• It's not possible to transfer forms to or from HIPAA-friendly accounts.

Now, let me show you how to do it:

1. On your My Workspace page, click on your Avatar/Profile Image in the top-right corner of the screen.

2. In the window that opens, click on Settings.

3. Then, click on the Data tab on the left.

4. In the Transfer Form section, click on Transfer Form.

5. Next, enter the Authentication Code that is sent to your email address, and click on Verify.

6. In the window that opens, tick the box next to the name of the form you want to transfer.

7. In the New Email Owner’s Email Address field, enter the email address of the account that you want the forms to be transferred to.

8. Now, click on Transfer Form.

Keep in mind that you can only send one form transfer at a time. You can also cancel the current transfer request. Let me show you how:

1. While you are still on the Data page, click on the View Details button in the Pending Transfer section.

2. Then, click on Cancel Request.

3. Finally, click on Yes, Cancel.

Once the forms are transferred, the owner of the account receiving the forms will get an email notification. From that email, they can click on the View Transfer button, then click on Accept to complete the transfer. Check out the screencast below:

Don’t forget that the form(s) you’re transferring shouldn’t be connected to Jotform products like Jotform Apps, Jotform Store Builder, or Jotform Workflows. If they are, remove those connections first.

Reach out again if you have any other questions.
