I am brand new, just signed up. Built my first input form. One of the fields I want to capture is the user’s website address. I am surprised that softr is requiring the “http://www.” at the beginning of the field.
It feels like I haven’t been required to type that when I’m giving my website address in, like, 10 years. Am I missing something? Or being unrealistic?
The reason I’m concerned is because my users may not be very Internet savvy and the error message that simply states “please enter a valid url” doesn’t tell them to add “http://www.” at the beginning. They will get frustrated and leave. I got frustrated, and I built the form! It took me a while to figure out how much I have to add to make it acceptable.
I second @MarkSchofield and try changing the field type to a line of text. If you are mapping this form field to an airtable URL field type, there is no need to enter or reformat your links with ‘https//www’ to be clickable. However, if you need the standard https…format then an extra formula field will be required.
