Available blocks include Welcome Screen, Thank You Screen, Short Text, Long Text, Email, Name, Number, Dropdown, Date, Website, Statement, and File (which helps your users to upload a file). The Opinion block, which is great for surveys, is only available in the pro version.

The plugin integrates seamlessly with tools such as MailChimp, Constant Contact, GetResponse, HubSpot, Google Sheets, and Zapier.
- Manage your form entries – Quill Forms comes with a reports dashboard that offers you access to all of your form submissions.
