February 18, 2021 Published Airtable App for Formito

It was a lengthy process, but it's done!

Following our attempt to reach more organic users through marketplaces, we created an app for Airtable. With this app, users can turn their Aittable into a chatbot and collect responses. Responses automatically add to the table.

The SDK is super easy to work with and they have their UI components which make app development a pleasant experience, but the review process was quite lengthy! I submitted the app in early December 2020! It took more than 2 months to review and publish the app, while they mentioned that the review process would take 2 weeks!

You can install the app from https://airtable.com/marketplace/blkxFRsccm8ZcLDeG/formito

Let me know if you have any questions.

January 28, 2021 Monday.com App Approved 👍

Monday launched their own marketplace and I thought it's a good place to submit an app and get some users. The review process was a little long. It took over a couple of months with a lot of change requested, but finally, it's online 🎊

The app is converting a board into a Formito chatbot. Give it a try if you have a Monday account: https://monday.com/marketplace/92

December 11, 2020 My add-on is on Google Workspace Marketplace

I created an add-on for Formito.com and published it on Google Workspace Marketplace. After installation, it can turn your Google Form into a chatbot and collect responses.

I hope this could be a good channel for acquiring new customers.

If anyone is planning to go this direction, I'd say creating an add-on is pretty easy. I created my first add-on without any previous knowledge. They have pretty good documentation where you can get started quickly. I read the parts of docs that were necessary for creating an app for Google Forms and jumped into coding. The coding part didn't take me more than a couple of days.

The review process was also easy and super quick. My add-on got approved in about a week with a couple of revisions. I submitted apps to other marketplaces and the review process easily takes a month or two! If you want to speed up the review process, create your Google Cloud Project once your add-on is in a good shape and you know which scopes you need during OAuth. Then, submit your OAuth screen for verification and continue tweaking your add-on. If you submit the add-on before your OAuth screen verified, the add-on review process suspends until your OAuth screen verifies.

My add-on didn't have much UI as it's sending API request to another service. But I highly suggest using jQuery and a Material UI kit for designing your add-on as they highly speed up your development.

November 19, 2020 Formito is on ProductHunt today! 😻

Finally, I launched Formito on ProductHunt. I’ve been developing this product for more than a year as a side project and completely redesigned it recently.

I didn’t launch this on ProductHunt as I wasn’t sure that if it’s the right move and I can get enough upvotes to potentially acquire some users, but the time has come.

I hope it goes well and Formito ends up being in the top 5 products of the day.

Also, there’s a 30% discount! Check the first comment in PH for more details.

November 13, 2020 Brand new create page

We got a brand new create page where users can browse templates and converter tools. Now it's much easier to:

  • Create a blank chatbot
  • Start from a template
  • Or convert a table or form to a chatbot!

You can check this out at https://app.formito.com/create

Stay tuned, we're adding more actions and converters in November.

November 5, 2020 Launched logo maker tool on ProductHunt

Instead of blogging for content marketing, I decided to build a few free tools for Formito which could bring some traffic and backlink. I created a Favicon builder a few weeks ago, and I’m adding a Free Typography Logo Maker to the list of tools today.

I launched it on ProductHunt today. Would love to hear your feedback and support.

October 20, 2020 Launched my favicon builder on ProductHunt

I decided to create some free tools to increase traffic to my website. I started with a free favicon maker where you can create letter-based favicons easily. I made it on the weekend and decided to launch it on ProductHunt today.

Here's the post on PH: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/free-favicon-maker

October 17, 2020 Released Payment Block [beta]

Created a payment block where people can accept payment directly from their chatbot!

1️⃣ Connect your Stripe account
2️⃣ Add a payment block
3️⃣ Set a price and currency
4️⃣ Ready to go!

So excited to see what people make. They can easily run a business with Formito.com which was the initial goal.

September 28, 2020 Quietly launched version 2.0

I've been working on the next version of Formito.com in the past 4 months. Mostly, changed the tech stack from PHP/MYSQL to a serverless alternative (Nodejs/Firestore). It removes some limitations I had in adding new features which require changing the database structure.

It doesn't come with a lot of new features, but tons of improvements and a new chatbot builder is in there. Basically, I redesigned the whole product. I guess people are going to love this one.

Would love to hear your feedback.

September 9, 2020 First yearly subscriber

I got my first yearly subscriber, this feels great!

The subscriber was using the app during 14-day trials and reached out by asking a few questions about features and integrations. Eventually, he upgraded his plan to Standard right after the trial period.
