Accept Directory Submissions Through Form Builders

Let visitors and contributors submit listings to your directory through the form builder they already use. EmbedDirectory connects with JotForm, Typeform, and Tally — each submission lands in your approval queue, and nothing goes live until you say so.

No coding required. Setup takes a few minutes.

How It Works

1. Connect your form builder to EmbedDirectory via webhook
2. Someone fills out your form
3. The submission appears in your dashboard for review
4. You approve, edit, or reject it — approved entries become live listings

This approval-based flow is the same across all three form builders. The difference is in the form experience your contributors see and the features available to you.

Which Form Builder Should You Use?

JotForm — Templates, Power, Flexibility

JotForm has the largest form template library and supports advanced features like conditional logic, multi-page forms, and file uploads. If you need complex submission forms or want to start from a pre-built template, JotForm is a strong fit.

Good for: Business directories, vendor registration, service provider databases

Typeform — Polished, Conversational Experience

Typeform's one-question-at-a-time format creates a clean, branded submission experience. Logic jumps let you ask different questions based on previous answers. If you want submissions that feel more like a conversation than a traditional form, Typeform is ideal.

Good for: Member directories, community listings, application-based directories

Tally — Free, Fast, No-Fuss

Tally offers unlimited forms and submissions on its free plan. The interface is minimal and Notion-like — you can have a form connected to your directory in minutes. If you want the fastest path from form to live directory without paying for another tool, Tally is the way to go.

Good for: Team directories, resource libraries, startup MVPs, simple listing submissions

What Happens After Setup

Once connected, your workflow looks like this:

1. Submissions arrive — new form responses appear in your Submissions dashboard
2. Review and edit — you can modify any field before publishing
3. Approve or reject — only approved submissions become live listings in your directory

You can connect one form builder at a time. If you need more advanced automation — like creating or updating listings programmatically from any app — check out the Zapier integration.
