Use Drupal webforms to create new users with the CMS User extension

3 years 6 months ago

People are at the heart of any organization, whether it’s volunteers, students, or clients, and getting the most out of your technology can help organize them to better accomplish your goals.

Drupal websites have leveraged the power of webforms through the CiviCRM Webform module to gather user information, for scheduling and other automated jobs. The one thing missing — user account creating.

Summary of the 2nd video con about the future of caldera

3 years 6 months ago

Yesterday we had a second video call about the future of caldera. Main question was how can we collaborate together whilst supporting clients who are currently using caldera and who can not migrate easily within a short time.

Most of us had clients who are using Caldera Forms plugin and those forms are not easily rebuild in another tool (if there was another tool available, more on that later).

Introducing Webform CiviCRM - contains newly released video/tutorials 🎉

3 years 7 months ago

Imagine you have a ‘contact us’ or 'sign-up for our newsletter' or 'register for our next event' form on your website. How much time would you save if each webform submission would be automatically recorded in your CiviCRM database? What if you could automatically dispatch emails, renew memberships, add contact tags, etc. as that data is being saved? Full website CiviCRM integration provides organizations with an opportunity to optimize their workflows and significant time savings.

How many members did we have on this date? How many times has this member renewed? How to report on historical membership data

3 years 7 months ago

Do you manage memberships for your organisation? If so, there's good chance you have been asked to generate a report for your membership data to find out:

"How many members did we have at 1 January 2021?"

"How many times has this specific member renewed?"

And probably even more toe curling questions that are quite challenging or seem impossible to solve
