Show HN: Create and collect forms directly from email

Re:Show HN: Create and collect forms directly from email by Irregardless on Friday December 14, 2012 @08:49AM (#4920874)

How do I check the formatting before it's sent? How do I add a company logo or change the styling (colors, fonts, etc.)? Do I have to go back and forth through email if corrections are necessary? How do I send out a test survey then delete the results from my data set so they aren't included with the real one? Can I track who failed to respond and needs a follow-up email?

I'm (unfortunately) the one who gets stuck creating and sending out surveys for my company whenever it's necessary, and those are just a few questions I have after glancing at your demo. Right now, I can't see any situation where this would be preferable to SurveyMonkey. It might be acceptable for a quick and dirty internal survey, but I couldn't consider sending a questionnaire to our vendors or clients without having full control over the format and styling. Either that or I'd need to see evidence that your final product will be professional looking -- including some screenshots of a finished survey would help with that.

Thanks for the feedback, those are all very good points.

Because we were looking for something to create forms fast and collect data inline from emails, we created this initial version and decided to share it already. So although it's currently still lacking features like rich formatting and email list management, we're curious to see if people like the concept, and if there's enough uses already for this first version. It's all still pretty basic, so currently to make changes or start a new survey after a "test" run, you'll need to send a new email to [email protected]. It can be used already in combination with services like MailChimp though, e.g. for more email list management.

Anyway, thanks for checking out the demo, and we hope to add more functionality soon.
