Hi everyone, I'm Carlos, an Elementor Pro enthusiast, and I'm excited to show you how to limit the number of form submissions on your website. Today, I'll walk you through this technique step by step using Elementor Pro and Dynamic Content for Elementor. This strategy is especially useful when you need to manage an event with limited seats and need to collect information from attendees. So join me on this adventure to learn how to do it!
Step 1: Preparation
To get started, make sure you have the two key plugins installed: Elementor Pro and Dynamic Content for Elementor. If you don’t, don’t worry, I’ll show you how to do that while we create a form that limits the number of submissions.
Step 2: Creating a Counter Field
The first step is to create a counter field that tracks form submissions. This counter is a native feature of Dynamic Content for Elementor. Set the counter to start at zero.
Step 3: Defining Actions per Shipment
Now, it is crucial to set what actions should be taken each time a form is submitted. In this case, we want the counter to add one on each submission, so we set this specific action.
Step 4: Hide and Disable the Field
To keep the UI clean, we've hidden the counter field and disabled it. This way, visitors won't see or interact with the counter, which is critical to maintaining a smooth user experience.
Step 5: Setting the ID and Sending Limit
Another important aspect is to define an ID for the counter field, which will make further configurations easier. Then, we enable the “Max Submissions” option and set the maximum number of forms allowed. In my example, I will set a limit of two forms.
Step 6: Customizing the Boundary Text
To improve user experience, we have customized the text that will be displayed when the submission limit is reached. This provides clarity to users when they can no longer submit forms.
Step 7: Testing and Verification
Now, let's test our setup. After updating the form, I'll send out a few test forms. When I try to send the third form, you'll see that the system displays an alert indicating that we've reached the submission limit.
Conclusion
In summary, we have learned how to limit the number of form submissions in Elementor Pro using Dynamic Content for Elementor. This technique is essential when you need to manage events with limited seats or any other situation where you want to control the number of form submissions. Follow these steps and provide a more organized user experience on your website with Elementor Pro!
