Product updates

Custom API Connectors

• You can now connect Feathery to any API to fetch live data for validating or displaying in your form. These connectors can be used in any of your logic rules based on form events. Our Custom API Connectors run in a secure server-side context. Setup is as simple as defining the API's base URL and any allowed endpoints.

Advanced logic & custom API integrations

Feathery’s new Logic feature allows users to write custom Javascript code that runs at various points in the form lifecycle, such as when a step is submitted, field value is changed, and more. This allows users to create advanced functionality to:

• Send data to custom APIs or query APIs for data. Using this data, users can dynamically update field values, field options, set errors, and more.
• Create complex logic for validating field data, showing/hiding elements, setting styles, and more.

We’re launching a UI for this feature soon, which will allow users to access the same functionality but without writing code.

Feathery AI quick edit features

Feathery AI (coming soon)

Via a simple prompt, generate an entire form customized to your needs that you can edit from our dashboard directly. It’s currently in private beta and will soon be free to use for everyone.

Stripe updates + availability on free tier

Introducing Feathery 2.0

Feathery’s biggest update yet. We’ve launched a massive improvement to the way you design your form by breaking out of a grid-based model.

• Instead of needing to click repeatedly through the hierarchy of your form, the builder now intelligently detects which element you’re attempting to select. We’ve seen build speeds more than double from this improvement.
• We’ve removed the constraint that previously required each element to first be added to an individual empty container. All elements can now be dragged and dropped into the editor freely and directly.
• We’ve added CSS support for padding & margin, alignments, and more. This gives you the ability to replicate any design a developer could build using code, while reducing time to build by up to 90%.

Improvements & Fixes

Forms.work

The Feathery team has compiled a breakdown of 10 best-in-class onboarding flows around the web. If you find this resource helpful, let us know and we’ll continue expanding it. You can also submit your own form at https://forms.work for us to analyze and feature!

• Allow manually destroying rendered JS form instances with .destroy()
• Fixed bug where calling renderAt multiple times on the same div would leave the original instances in place

Improved signup and login flows

Feathery’s new LoginProvider component wraps your core application, so if your user isn’t logged in, they’ll only be able to see your login form. This allows you to easily display your sign up/in form to users and only show your core application after they log in. Benefits include:

• Automatic logout after a period of time
• Easily add onboarding steps & questions, which are only shown until they’re completed
• Event listeners to run custom logic when the user logs in or out

You can use our SaaS Signup & Onboarding template or another login template to get started.

Expanded template library

We’ve launched 10 new templates, including new signup flows and financial applications for auto, business, personal, and home loans. Some of our new templates are inspired by best-in-class flows like Better, LendingTree, and LendingClub.

Multiple sequential actions

When interacting with an element like a button, text, or container, you can now configure multiple actions to run in sequence. For example, clicking a Next button could update a field value, validate and submit the step, and then navigate to the desired next step.

Improved payment flow functionality

In addition to in-form payment collection, Feathery's native Stripe integration now also supports using a prebuilt Stripe checkout page for payment collection.

You can now configure the products and associated purchase quantities (fixed or based on field value) directly on the button that triggers payment collection.

Payments and information updates can now be configured to update an existing Stripe customer based on a Stripe customer ID or an external customer identifier.

Custom form translations

You create your Feathery form in a particular language, but you may need to serve the same form to international audiences of different languages. Rather than rely on Google Translate's default translation, it's now easy to create and maintain your own custom translations that are automatically applied based on the user's preferred language. Docs

Drag-and-drop step connections

Your form steps can now be rearranged and reconnected by dragging and dropping them in different orders from the form designer’s flow view, much like building a slideshow.

Protect steps requiring authentication

Once you’ve set up an auth integration like Firebase or Stytch, you can now require the user to be logged in before accessing certain steps of your form. The protected steps can be configured directly when you’re setting up your integration. You can also now directly configure which steps the user is redirected to when they log in or log out.

New visual and flow editor UX

Now when you click into a Feathery form, you’ll be presented with the visual editor rather than the flow editor. It has a slideshow view of the steps and their connections, allowing you to easily create, edit, and remove steps without having to toggle between two views. Within the visual editor, you can now copy/paste and drag to move containers and elements around.

The flow editor still exists as a secondary tab you can navigate to when you need to adjust navigation rules. There’s now a clear target for dragging connections from, and the flow for creating a new rule has been streamlined significantly.

Comprehensive and intuitive conditional logic

Conditional logic in Feathery has been expanded with a much wider range of operators for intuitively setting up rules for navigating between steps, validating submissions, and hiding/showing elements. You can also now create multi-value comparison rules.

Additional login capabilities

Our Stytch integration now supports SMS authentication in addition to Google OAuth and magic link authentication. All of our auth integrations now support the ability to configure a “logout” click action on button elements.
