This module lets you create online membership forms for people who want to join your organization. Once the form has been completed and submitted, a contact record is automatically created in your Kananas workspace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can create as many online membership forms as needed to adapt the information requested to each activity, section or member type. For example, each section of your association or club can have its own form with specific fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The newly created contact record is automatically assigned the status defined in Settings<\/strong> > Options > New contact<\/strong>. If the selected status is \u201cActive\u201d, the person automatically receives an email with login credentials for their personal member area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At price level, you can specify Type, Category and Tag values so that the contact record is automatically updated according to the membership option selected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each new membership request also generates a notification and an information email in Kananas. You can then review the request, validate the contact record and contact the future member if additional information or formalities are required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can add all the fields from your Kananas database to your form and define whether each field is required or optional. To add fields, simply drag and drop<\/strong> them into the form. To change their order, click and drag the field to a new position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you need to collect information that is not available in the list, you must first create it in your custom fields<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also request the upload of documents<\/strong>, such as a medical certificate. To do this, drag and drop the \u201cdocument upload\u201d field from the right-hand column. You can rename the field once it has been added to the form. Please note that only one document will be collected per \u201cdocument upload\u201d block.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To upload a photo that will be used as the contact\u2019s profile image, the document field must be named photo<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The paragraph<\/strong> block allows you to insert text into your form, for example to provide instructions on how to complete certain fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By clicking the Preview<\/strong> button located at the top right, you can view your membership form exactly as it will appear on your website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
