This includes customized surveys, event-registration forms, support requests, and lots more. Pros of the form builder include the ability to work seamlessly with the world’s number 1 website builder and a user-friendly interface. But how does the plugin work and how do they measure up against other competitors? Perhaps most importantly, what do integrations look like? Keep reading to find out!

How to Set Up Ninja Forms for WordPress

If you are using WordPress, you might be interested to find out how to set up the plugin! You can learn to do so in a few simple steps! Check them out below:

And it’s that simple! You don’t need to be a technical expert or developer to set up these nifty WordPress forms!

Ninja Forms versus Gravity Forms

What Ninja and Gravity Forms have in common is that both are plugins for WordPress, empowering you to build forms easily and intuitively. So what are the pros and cons of each tool? And which one has the edge? Well, from the perspective of usability, the forms’ drag-and-drop tools and easy-to-understand UI from Ninja provide a better experience than Gravity Forms. Similarly, the plugin can be kinder on your wallet (given they have a free version) than Ninja and Gravity Forms also uses fewer resources, enabling better website performance. On the other hand, Gravity Forms has a wider range of features, a more extensive list of integrations, and superior customer support.

Both are solid options for WordPress but when choosing the right form builder for your organization, it’s best to know exactly what your requirements are so that they match your selected tool. To take an example, if saving money is your goal then a free version of Ninja might make sense, but if you are after a wide array of add-ons and integrations then Gravity Forms will be a better option for you!

Forms for Salesforce with a WordPress Plugin

Does the WordPress plugin work with Salesforce? Yes, they have an addon for Salesforce, which allows these two systems to work fluently together. This means you get to enjoy the user-friendliness of the form builder while also reaping the rewards of being able to draw on the rich data mine of the globe’s leading CRM. But how does this integration really work and what does it allow you to do?

Ninja Forms’ Salesforce Integration

The WordPress plugin has an addon for Salesforce and requires no code to give you the ability to work with multiple objects and fields from Salesforce in your form! Simply follow these steps:

Ninja’s Salesforce integration also empowers your organization to map your Salesforce to your form. This really comes in handy when you want to map specific fields in your Form to Salesforce fields. It is important to bear in mind that Ninja’s Salesforce addon does not work with all editions of the plugin so be sure yours qualifies before trying to use it.

Ninja Forms HubSpot Integration

HubSpot is one of the most popular tools for optimizing marketing and Sales strategy. And the good news is that Ninja has the ability to integrate with HubSpot using an add-on. You of course need to first download and install the HubSpot plugin. After this, authenticate HubSpot and enter your Plugin license. After following this relatively straightforward process, you can make use of HubSpot in tandem with Ninja. For example, you can add a HubSpot action to your form and map a field from your form to HubSpot!
