What's New in Zoho Forms

What's New in Zoho Forms

 Hey there,

We've been heads-down shipping this quarter. Because every update we ship is about making your forms do more, with less effort from you.
This quarter too, we expanded what Zoho Forms can do. Here's everything that shipped.



Spotlight Forms

Some long forms just cannot avoid being long... but users find them overwhelming to fill in and abandon them. Spotlight Forms is the solution for your long forms which focus on one field at a time as respondents scroll, reducing drop-offs, and making the whole experience feel intentional. It is your form with the distractions stripped away.

Zoho Sign field to get signatures, right inside your form

No redirects. No extra tabs. No "please sign this separately" awkwardness. Zoho Sign field lets respondents sign directly in the form, and you get legally binding, compliant signatures sitting right alongside the rest of their submission.

Zoho Vertical field for industry-specific workflows 

If you're working inside a Zoho Vertical, you know how painful manual data mapping can be. The new Zoho Vertical field eliminates that. Your form data flows directly into the right module, structured and ready to act on, the moment someone hits submit.

Unsplash backgrounds

Pick from millions of stunning Unsplash photos to dress up your form. Beautiful editorial-quality photos, straight from Unsplash, right inside the theme builder. 

100 new card form themes

One hundred professionally designed themes from minimal to bold are now added to your card form's themes gallery. Apply to your form in a click!

Autofill for org users

Stop asking what you already know from your people. Name and Email can be auto-filled for logged-in users in your organization.

Progress bar

Progress bars are no longer limited to multi-page forms. A visual indicator now shows respondents exactly where they are in all your forms for more completions.

Connect your whole stack

Microsoft Power Automate Integration

Your Microsoft tools and Zoho Forms can talk to each other. Trigger workflows, sync data, fire off notifications across your entire Microsoft ecosystem automatically, every time someone submits your form. 

Push attachments to Zoho Projects

Uploaded files and images from your form land directly in the Documents section of the right Zoho Projects task. No looking for the task and re-uploading.
