Customize your email response notifications (+ fixes)

Customise your email response notifications (+ fixes)


Whirr now has the ability to customise the email that's sent to you and your members when you receive a new form submission.

To get started, head to the Settings tab inside the editor. Choose a subject line, email message, embed form fields and click 'Save notification settings' when you're ready to roll.

With this update, we better support our international users who would like to translate the message to their native language.

While we're at it, we also fixed a few bugs we found from our early access of the new Custom Domains feature:

  • Custom domains are now the correct link in the post-publish menu buttons (e.g. Copy to clipboard) when you assign the domain to the form
  • Updating your workspace settings no longer causes visual glitches where the upgrade buttons reappears for paid users
  • Resolved issues with form submission and navigation when using custom domains
  • Fixed embed issues when using custom domains

As well as some experience improvements:

  • Custom domains now automatically validate against your DNS after adding and every few minutes, to save you the extra clicks


If you have an idea for a future update, we'd love to hear it! You can submit your feedback on our portal here. If you encounter any issues or have questions, reach out to us via our in-app support chat- we'll be happy to help!

New In-Editor Settings Tab

The in-editor settings have been revamped for more control and customization and given their own screen.

Meta Tab (Improved)

We've enhanced the Meta tab with even more customization options. You can now add favicons to your projects, ensuring your forms look sharp in browser tabs. Plus, see live previews of how your form will appear in social media cards and search engine results—tailor your content for maximum visibility.

A step towards more advanced analytics for your projects

Data tab: new recent engagement chart

Gain deeper insight into your form performance with the new recent engagement chart. Track sessions and submissions daily over the past 7 days to quickly spot trends and understand user behavior.

Styles

Editing styles is now faster! Access your form's style settings directly via the new droplet icon in the navbar for quicker adjustments on the go.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where custom meta tags were not saving correctly, ensuring all your SEO and social media details are locked in.
  • Improved editor performance and reduced memory consumption, leading to faster loading times and a smoother form-building experience.

Whirr continues to evolve, making it easier than ever to build, customize, and deploy forms that work for you.

Improved data tab

Our improved data tab now prominently features four key metrics for your projects, available on any plan.

Now at a glance you can easily see:

  • Your project's total response count
  • Sessions, which represents how many visitors you've gotten on your project
  • Calculated conversion rate
  • Average time to complete, the time it takes on average to submit a form project

These data points help you better understand and optimize how users engage with your projects.

We also improved the overall response table for a better experience.

GDPR and privacy update

Your privacy is important, so we updated our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy to more clearly outline where your data is stored, what we collect, why, and more.

In addition, we published a guide to GDPR compliance for your online forms. In regions like the EU and UK, ensuring that your forms comply with GDPR is crucial for protecting the data rights of your users. This guide can help you understand the requirements and best practices for creating GDPR-compliant forms.

Easier in-app templates and changelog access (+ bug fixes)

This week we added access to our template library directly into the app. Check it out on the templates page to get started on your new projects — even faster.

In-app templates tab

We didn't stop there. Now you can stay up to date with these changes without leaving the app. See these changelog posts in the in-app help center located at the bottom right of Whirr.

Bug fixes

While we were shipping, we were also squishing bugs that some users reported.

  • Fixed block edit menus not always appearing when clicking the drag handle
  • Fixed a font loading issue for published projects on mobile devices
  • and more improvements

Get started, with templates

Now you can save yourself even more time by building your forms based on one of our free award-winning designer's templates.

Also, new users find themselves with even more guidance with our new empty state guide. In every new project you will now see a simple summary of how to use our doc-style form builder. So now out of the gate you know how Whirr lets you create beautiful forms in the same way you write.

For anyone who gets frozen by a blank canvas, no need to worry because the "Start with a free template" button is there to save the day.

On top of templates, the new empty state guide, and other visual changes we've also published a Report Abuse form to proactively combat potential misuse.

And of course, squished some bugs.
