Office 365 Contact Us Form

There is an app in the SharePoint App Store from Microsoft for free that you add to the site. You can then add the webpart to a page and you get an interesting Contact Us page. It posts to a list which you can then set up to alert you by email.

It is interesting to see that it access a form on a different site and then posts back to your list. I am new to Office 365 so this may well be normal.

And here as an update is the step by step guide:

  • Manage your public website
  • Click the cog and select Site contents
  • Add an app
  • Select SharePoint Store on left
  • Search for “contact us”
    • Select the Contact Us Form and confirm it is “from Microsoft Corporation” and it is free
    • Click Add It
    • You will need to log in to a Microsoft account
    • Accept the dialogs and trust the app
    • Allow the app to download and it will be available to add to your site
  • Edit the page that you want the new form on
    • Click in the page where you would like the form
    • Select the Insert tab
    • Click to insert App Part
    • In Parts select Contact Us Form
    • Click Add
    • Let the form load
    • Edit and change the form if required
    • Edit the rest of the page if required
    • Save and Publish the page
  • When someone enters there details it goes into a list. To access this list and get email alerts:
    • On the Contact Us Form click “Contact Us Form”
    • This will show you how many answers
    • Click Contact Us and you will see the list of contacts (and the fields that could also be used.
    • On the menu click LIST, Alert Me, Set alert on this list
    • Enter the email address you want to receive the alert and click OK. You may not be able to send this to external users.
