When to Import a Contact Form
When you have multiple websites that need the same form, you can save yourself hours of work by importing it. These are just a few reasons why you might want to import a form:
- Customized Forms. Use the same custom form across multiple websites so you don’t have to keep re-making the same form over and over.
- Moving Domains. Don’t waste time recreating your forms when you switch domains. Instead, export the ones you want and then import them into your new domain.
- Restore a Backup. If your website crashes you can restore your form from an exported backup rather than re-create it from memory.
- Save Time Developing. If you are a developer that creates forms for clients, you can build them in your staging environment and easily import them into the live website using the WPForms importer tool. The same is true for DIY users that want to test their forms before pushing them live. This prevents your site from crashing and saves you tons of time.
- Switching Form Builders. Maybe you’ve switched away from an expensive form builder on one of your sites to WPForms in order to reduce SaaS bills. Or perhaps you compared Gravity Forms vs Ninja Forms vs WPForms and decided to switch. You’ll want to import forms from your other WPForms site onto the new one.
