5 Things You May Not Realize You Could Do with JotForm

2. Custom Sender Email Address
If you’d like to be able to keep the line of communication going between you and a form respondent, you can use your email address (or an email address of your choice) to send autoresponder emails, which is set to [email protected] as a default.
This can come in handy when form respondents may have follow-up questions. Here’s how it works. Once your customers complete the form, they are sent an autoresponder email that thanks them for sending their message directly from your email address.
It’s a more personal touch, and makes it much easier for the form responder to follow-up with you directly with additional questions. This is a great way to streamline your communication flow.
3. Collect e-Signatures
There are many times when a company needs to collect signatures online, such as for officiating contracts and signing agreements. It is an unnecessary and tedious process to ask someone to print out a document, sign it by hand, then return it via fax or email.
It’s far more efficient and effective to have the document signed online, which is why JotForm offers e-signing services like Docusign, Adobe Sign, and JotForm’s own E-Signature widget that can be added to any form.

A form URL can be set to look something like this: http://forms.mycompanydomain.com/form/1234567890. In order to accomplish this, just follow these easy steps!
