Where does the google form come from?

• Each student provides their own google form into db
• Google forms are generated with club and responses are sent to contact email
• One big form will all club options that is read and distributed by ClubCompass

How should this be implemented?

• google form: g form -> spreadsheet (questions regarding above)
• embedded form: form -> send directly to contact email
• other service: form -> dataset
  • bridge the gap between two options

Google forms is easy but doesn't make filtering options simple and is also hard to integrate with application. Implementing an embedded form is time consuming but may lead to greater scalability. The issue with embedded is that anybody could submit a response whereas in google forms you need an account.

Proposed solution:

• in house form in cc for club application
• applications are recorded in db and shown on dashboard
• option to send emails with formatted information to presidents

[paul-bokelman]

Revised solution:

• get form link from each club president
• integrate into cc

Reason: building an in-house application system will take too much time and won't be completed by deadline. The in-house system will be delayed until after the initial launch of CC.

Current data is not available so integrate functionality and test with data when ready.

• apply button goes to form
• contact email banner
• redirect back to cc?
• basic form template for presidents <- assigned to Nik
