    I don't see record types in the dropdown of the JotForm integration screen? Is it supported?

    Could you provide us more information on Record type in SalesForce? On my salesforce developer account, I'm unable to find this Record type. If you can provide us with a more information along with a screenshot, we will be glad to help you further by forwarding the request to our backend team. 

    We will wait for your response. Thank you!

    Record types define the page layout and thus the available fields. I need it because my form is built in such a way to support two types of records that I have under my salesforce contacts.

    What I've seen using other form builders is that I would add a hidden field and populate that hidden field with the Record Type ID.

    Well, you can add a textbox field then hide it in the form. You can add the Record Type ID as the default value. But I don't think that will do it since the integration doesn't support it yet.

    Couldn't get that to work... didn't know if there was any other workaround?

    Hi there,

    We are terribly sorry for the long wait, but we'd like to inform you that this feature is now available.

    You may select the record type after you have chosen the object (Lead/Contact/Account) you want JotForm to create.
