Security Nonce Method – Select the method that is used to add a nonce field to the form. Note that Localized might cause problems if the page’s HTML is cached.

Form Actions – (Save To Database/Send To URL/Mailchimp/HubSpot/Open Off-Canvas) – Select actions to apply when the form is submitted. Multiple selections can be made.

Save To Database – You can view and manage form submissions by going to Form Entries section and selecting the form from the dropdown list. In general, storing form data in a database table is a convenient way to manipulate the data and create stats, perform analysis, etc. The database table can be easily exported or connected to an automated script that can perform all sorts of data analysis for you.

Send To URL – Depending on the script running on that URL, submission data could be caught and processed, either by a custom script, or through a dedicated URL provided by a newsletter service supplier. Also, it allows you to show a custom success page, with Call To Actions, etc.

Submission Method: Post – Appends form-data inside the body of the HTTP request. There are no size limitations, and the data is not part of the URL, thus it is more secure.

Submission Method: Get – Appends form-data into the URL in name/value pairs. It has a limit of a few thousand characters, so it is not the right option if you send sensitive data. It is convenient, though, for creating bookmarks and for extracting the data (which the site owner has to do).

Custom Headers – If you are using this form to integrate with a third-party API, you can use custom headers to implement authentication or pass-on any extra headers the API requires.
