Mailchimp is a marketing automation tool designed primarily for sending targeted promotional campaigns to increase awareness and drive engagement. These tools provide limited support for signup forms and creating surveys.
Formesign is designed specifically to easily create secure prefill links to populate answers in Google Forms and automatically send personalized emails from your Google Mail. This makes it easier to collect responses and reduce data entry errors.
