== Frequently Asked Questions ==
|
||
|
||
= Is Cognito Forms cloud-hosted? =
|
||
|
||
Cognito Forms is a subscription-based service and we host all of the forms and data collected securely on the Microsoft Azure cloud platform, which is PCI (DSS) Level 1 and HIPAA compliant.
|
||
|
||
= How do I create a form? =
|
||
|
||
In order to create a form, you need to create a Cognito Forms account through the plugin. Once you design your form, you can embed it onto a post or a page by using the Cognito Forms icon, the orange cog, that shows up on the editor toolbar. We'll automatically add the short code for you.
|
||
|
||
= Now that I've built a form, can I receive a notification every time my form is submitted? =
|
||
|
||
Yes – in fact, our forms default to sending an email notification to the email address belonging to the owner of the account.
|
||
|
||
You can further customize that email notification to be sent on behalf of your website domain, contain custom content, show details from the entry, or go to multiple email addresses.
