Why does it use Tablesome instead of Elementor Collections?
Because Elementor Pro has the default form collection option, you may want to know why you must use Tablesome to save the form to submit. Tablesome is better than Elements. The reasons are as follows:
There is no import option: If you migrate from the old site to the new site, the Elementor form cannot be migrated because it cannot be moved because the Elementor form cannot be moved because the Elementor form cannot be moved because the Elementor form cannot be migrated because the Elementor form cannot be relocated because the Elementor form cannot be relocated because the Elementor form cannot be relocated because The Elementor form is submitted without any guide. Assuming that if you used to have a form database with another plugin, you cannot add it to the Elementor database.
API export uncondition When connecting to the external tool with API, you may not want to send each form to submit. You may want to apply some conditions for \”True\” or \”False\” to send it through the API.
Export Question:
Some users complain that when the data is exported, certain data is not exported correctly.
It is impossible to stop repeated submission and spam sender: In the collection, you may receive many repeated submission, and you may receive thousands of garbage garbage. Submit the mail form. There is no way to stop this.
Can’t display at the front end
If you want to submit a form at the front -end display form at the WordPress, there is no option. You must manually export it as a CSV file, and then use other tools to display it on the WordPress page and posts.
Limited 3-party connection
Elementor does have some 3rd-postyTools, such as some email marketing services, but lack of some important and useful integrations, such as Google Sheets, Salesforce, Zapier, NOTION, etc.
So Tablesome is much better in many aspects than Elementor Collections. The coolest thing is that it is free!
Therefore, be sure to use Tablesome to submit Elementor Form to the database.
