JotForm is a San Francisco-based online form building company.[2] JotForm's software creates forms with a drag and drop creation tool and an option to encrypt user data.[3] As of 2015, JotForm had 2 million registered users and 7,000 form templates.[4] The forms can be integrated on external sites including MailChimp, PayPal, Stripe, and Salesforce.[5]
History
JotForm was founded in 2006 by Aytekin Tank.[4][6][7] In 2011, JotForm released Wishbox, a feedback tool that annotates screenshots.[8][9] By 2012, JotForm had over 700,000 users and published over 2 million user forms.[10] JotForm released an Adobe Document Cloud eSign Widget in June 2015 for embedded esigning into forms.[11][12]
In April 2016, JotForm announced that its software was available on Weebly.[13] In December 2016, the company partnered with IFTTT to integrate an "Applet" to create forms in other applications.[14][15] Tech Times recognized JotForm online form integration on Slack as one of the "Best Productivity Apps" of 2016.[16]
Controversy
In February 2012, the United States Secret Service shut down the JotForm site as part of an undisclosed investigation of user-created forms. After two days, the site was back up.[2][17][18]
