Hi,\u000aSorry for the delay, it looks like your comment slipped away.\u000a\u000a\u003E 1. Ability to send querystring parameters in the URL. Currently you limit to storing in hidden form fields. But can I then \u0022copy\u0022 that hidden form value to another element, such as a read\u002Donly textbox, thereby getting me the functionality that I want with a workaround?\u000aWe are aware of this feature, we will consider it after the current roadmap.\u000aThe current functionality is described here: https://aidaform.com/help/how\u002Dto\u002Duse\u002Dquery\u002Dparameter\u002Dhidden\u002Dfields.html\u000a\u000a\u003E 2. Email notifications. I really like the way Cognito Forms does this. You have both Confirmations (to the end\u002Duser) and Notifications (for me, etc). Both allow you to put in dynamic placeholder text, and more. Any uploaded attachments in the form can be added to the notification. Is this in your roadmap?\u000aYes, those features are also on our list and will come at some point.\u000a\u000a\u003E 3. Templates. This is a big one. I currently take the data that someone enters, do calculations, then at the end, Cognito allows the user to download a PDF. This PDF was made from a Microsoft Word template file, where I was able to customize the entire document, It really does an amazing job. I am curious if this is in your roadmap?\u000aWe have a custom PDF file notification on the list, as this is really useful for quizzes. Is it what you mean?\u000a\u000a\u003E 4. Zapier support is coming, that is good. But the Google Sheet direct integration is a good workaround, because that integrates with Zapier. From there, I can populate my mySQL database.\u000aDirect Google Sheet integration is available, and Zapier is coming in March 2020 :)\u000a\u000a\u003E 5. I see all of the comments about Report Abuse text.\u000aUnfortunately, additional agreement is the only suitable way for us at the moment.\u000aJust drop us a line at support@aidaform.com \u002D we did it for many users, it\u0027s quite fast and easy :)\u000a\u000a\u003E I do think that you need to offer the ability not to use your templates or create some very basic ones. With Cognito Forms, I usually embed my forms in another site. Then I try to match the font and color scheme the best I can. Simple background colors, etc..\u000aWe have already added the fonts, and all the rest you mentioned is on the way!

\u003E 6. I would really like the ability to restrict the domains where these forms are embedded in. Also have the ability to not display at all if not embedded within the specified site. I don\u0027t want someone to be able to \u0022View Source\u0022, copy the URL in the iFrame tag, then access it directly.\u000aI passed the ideas to the development team. They will consider, these are interesting thoughts. Although you are the first one who contacted us about such concerns :)\u000a\u000a\u003E What about AMP?\u000aPlease contact us at support@aidaform.com with more details.
