A Vudoo form is an element you can add to an overlay. Use them to engage viewers, capture user data or get sign ups to a database or subscription. You can create either a Vudoo form or Salesforce form.

To create a Salesforce form, you must be a Salesforce customer and use the Vudoo integration within Salesforce. To learn more, click here. 

To create a Vudoo form, go to ‘Interactions’ on the edit panel to the right of your video. Choose ‘Add a checkpoint’ and click the blue ‘Create overlay’ button.

When you’re within an overlay, select ‘+ Add element’ and choose the ‘Vudoo form’ option. At the top of the edit panel, you will see three tabs: Settings, Fields and Action.

Settings

Under this tab you can set up your form.

  • Name your form—this will be helpful when looking at the video analytics. 

  • Enter the email address where any form submissions should be sent

Fields

This lets you select four types of fields with different purposes:

  1. Short text field Use this to add a single line of text

  2. Long text field Add a bigger block of text

  3. Dropdown list Add a dropdown menu

  4. Disclaimer Add a checkbox disclaimer

  • Add as many fields as you need for your form

  • As you add each field, it will appear in the editing panel under ‘Edit form fields’. This is where you enter the information and action for each field

  • You can also use ‘Edit Form Fields’ to re-order (using the cross symbol) or delete (using the bin symbol) your fields.

Editing short text fields

Editing disclaimers

  • Pop up The disclaimer will pop up within your overlay. Enter the text that should appear in the pop up. Select ‘Return’ when you’re done. 

Action

This tab lets you customise the call-to-action button and action.
