Sitecore XM Cloud Forms We always need to capture User Inputs from our websites, it is the basic need of marketers to capture information and that is done using forms. With the earlier versions of Sitecore Platform, we used to install an external module named Web Forms for Marketers (WFFM) on top of the Sitecore installation for forms building as it was not present out of the box. With the release of Sitecore Platform 9 and later versions, forms were an integral part of it. We can use Sitecore Forms to construct web forms to record information provided by the user and can capture that for later use. This detail is basically stored in the Sitecore database and can be extracted through reports. With the release of Sitecore XM cloud, it follows headless architecture and there are no CD servers available, therefore no place to capture the user inputs. And hence there is a need for some SaaS solution to fill out that gap. Composable Forms Builder is available with Sitecore XM Cl...
