The Office of Digital Education at the University of Colorado recently transitioned from building Request for Information (RFI) forms in Formstack to Webform on https://online.cu.edu/. Not only did this eliminate the Formstack licensing costs, but it allowed us to build a solution that inherits information from the Program Pages the forms are placed on. We were able to reduce number of forms from 170 in Formstack to 4 Webforms that inherit values from the pages they are placed on. Being Drupal native, Webforms load substantially faster than Formstack or Slate forms improving the site’s Google Core Vital Score and PageRank. As part of this project, the University of Colorado took over the maintenance of the Webform Pardot and Webform SHS modules on Drupal.org. This session will cover how Requests for Information forms pass the UTM values of the initial page visits to Pardot, how we use Content Moderation Workflow states on Taxonomy terms to test new Programs in a draft state and how we do end to end testing and monitoring of the production Drupal/Pardot integration and what we're doing to optimize Webforms for the mobile users that make up 70% of this site's traffic.
