Webform

By jrockowitz on 26 April 2004, updated 31 March 2021

The Webform module provides all the features expected from an enterprise proprietary form builder combined with the flexibility and openness of Drupal.

Webform is the module for making forms and surveys in Drupal. After a submission customizable e-mails can be sent to administrators and/or submitters. Results can be exported into Excel or other spreadsheet applications. Webform also provides some basic statistical review and has an extensive API for expanding its features.
