Introducing the HIPAA Forms Native Form Builder

This has been a highly requested and much-needed option since Caldera deprecated and abandoned their free form builder. While Gravity Forms is a great form builder, we understand the frustration of needing a paid form builder to use our HIPAA Forms plugin.

A Familiar Experience

Since nearly all of our users currently use Gravity Forms, we've kept the UI similar in our new native builder, so you can jump right in.

Import Your Gravity Forms

We've also built an import feature that migrates your Gravity Forms directly into the native builder. It even carries over your HIPAA Forms per-form settings.

New: Captcha Support

We couldn't use Gravity's built-in captcha option. That's because we override the normal submit process to prevent PHI leaks. We also encrypt the form data and store it in our API instead of your vulnerable WordPress MySQL database.We've always used a honeypot and a non-traditional submit button to block bot submissions. Now a true captcha adds one more layer of security against bots.

A Note on Add-Ons

The native builder is designed specifically for our HIPAA Forms system. It doesn't have the large, robust add-on options that Gravity Forms has.We don't directly support most Gravity add-ons. Some work with our system, but many others don't.

Important: If you use a Gravity Forms add-on in a HIPAA form, don't migrate that form to the native builder. You'll lose that add-on's functionality.

More New Features

• Quiz feature built into the native builder
• Custom JavaScript field for anyone who needs custom JavaScript in a form
• Identifier options in the builder UI, so you don't have to add classes to fields by hand like you do in Gravity Forms
• Better "Who can see this submitted form" settings, with a much improved UI for choosing specific users
• "Selected user" field that can go in the form itself

The last two are advanced, edge-case settings. Our own builder lets us build features like these on purpose, instead of relying on hacks and workarounds.

Should You Migrate?

We have no intention of removing support for Gravity Forms. However, we're at the mercy of their updates and changes.Gravity doesn't warn us before making changes that can break our integration. When that happens, we have to scramble to release a patch. Their core structural changes have caused issues and downtime for our users before.
Because of this, we highly encourage migrating your forms from Gravity to the native builder.
