Taking full advantage of n8n's new multi-page form functionality, it's easy to build impactful forms to serve your business.\n\n### How it works\n* Our flow begins with a form trigger to capture a newsletter signup and the user's email is captured into a google sheet. Google Sheet is used for demonstration purposes but this could be any database.\n* Multi-page forms allow you to continue the onboarding experience with a short survey. 3 form nodes are chained to capture more details from the user which update the same row in the google sheet.\n* Finally, a form ending node shows a customised completion screen for our user.\n\nCheck out the example sheet here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15W1PiFjCoiEBHHKKCRVMLmpKg4AWIy9w1dQ2Dq8qxPs/edit?usp=sharing\n\n\n### Need Help?\nJoin the [Discord](https://discord.com/invite/XPKeKXeB7d) or ask in the [Forum](https://community.n8n.io/)!\n\nHappy Hacking!\n"}, "typeVersion": 1}, {"id": "8035269e-224f-4036-9e8a-9447cfa87252", "name": "Notify New Signup!", "type": "n8n-nodes-base.slack", "position": [240, 160], "webhookId": "1a9cb618-a2fd-4ee8-b3cf-4140b65d55c1", "parameters": {"text": "=A user signed up to the newsletter!", "select": "channel", "blocksUi": "={\n\t\"blocks\": [\n\t\t{\n\t\t\t\"type\": \"section\",\n\t\t\t\"text\": {\n\t\t\t\t\"type\": \"mrkdwn\",\n\t\t\t\t\"text\": \"{{ $('Sign Up Form').first().json.Email.extractEmail() }} *just signed up to the newsletter!*\"\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t}\n\t]\n}", "channelId": {"__rl": true, "mode": "name", "value": "#general"}, "messageType": "block", "otherOptions": {}}, "credentials": {"slackApi": {"id": "VfK3js0YdqBdQLGP", "name": "Slack account"}}, "typeVersion": 2.2}], "pinData": {}, "connections": {"About You": {"main": [[{"node": "Your Interests", "type": "main", "index": 0}]]}, "Sign Up Form": {"main": [[{"node": "Capture Email", "type": "main", "index": 0}]]}, "Capture Email": {"main": [[{"node": "Notify New Signup!", "type": "main", "index": 0}]]}, "Your Interests": {"main": [[{"node": "Join Beta Testers", "type": "main", "index": 0}]]}, "Capture More Info": {"main": [[{"node": "Show Completion Screen", "type": "main", "index": 0}]]}, "Join Beta Testers": {"main": [[{"node": "Capture More Info", "type": "main", "index": 0}]]}, "Notify New Signup!": {"main": [[{"node": "About You", "type": "main", "index": 0}]]}}}
