Capture leads, feedback, and other data from your website using forms designed in Power Apps and Dynamics 365.

What are Power Apps Forms in DataPress?​

Power Apps Forms allow you to display Dataverse (Dynamics 365) forms on your WordPress website and submit user input directly back to Dataverse.

With DataPress, you can:

  • Render Dataverse forms on public or protected pages
  • Create new records from form submissions
  • Update existing records using table binding
  • Display data in a read‑only mode

Key concept: Form Registration​

To use a Dataverse form on a WordPress page, DataPress introduces the concept of a form registration.

A form registration acts as a proxy between WordPress and Dataverse. It defines:

  • Which Dataverse form to display
  • How the form handles submissions
  • Which attributes are required or optional
  • Which form‑level settings override global defaults

How forms are rendered on the website​

Forms are embedded into pages using the Twig templating engine.
