In October at [NeetoForm](https://www.neeto.com/neetoform), we focused on a Trash where you can restore deleted forms and submissions, accepting payments through PayPal, and building and managing forms from your AI assistant.

Here's everything we shipped in October 2026 in NeetoForm.

## New features 🚀

#### Trash for forms and submissions

Earlier, deleting a form or a submission removed it right away, and you couldn't get it back. Deleted forms and submissions now [move to Trash](https://engage.neetoform.com/changelogs/trash-for-forms-and-submissions), where you can restore them or delete them permanently. Items stay in Trash for 30 days. A form in Trash stops accepting submissions, and its public link stays reserved for it.

#### Accept payments with PayPal

Forms can now [accept payments through PayPal](https://engage.neetoform.com/changelogs/accept-payments-with-paypal) with the new PayPal element. You connect a PayPal account once for the workspace, and every form in the workspace can collect payments with it. Respondents pay with the PayPal button on the form, and the amount and transaction ID are saved with the submission.

#### Build and manage forms from your AI assistant

Earlier, an AI assistant connected to NeetoForm could mostly read your forms and submissions. With the [NeetoForm MCP server](https://engage.neetoform.com/changelogs/build-and-manage-forms-from-your-ai-assistant), assistants such as Claude can now build a form, add conditional logic and automation rules, change its settings and theme, share it, and work with its submissions. A preview shows the form inside the assistant as it takes shape.

## Enhancements ✨

#### Send emails from your domain, set up once

Earlier, [Send emails from your domain](https://engage.neetoform.com/changelogs/send-emails-from-your-domain-for-every-form) was set up separately in each form's settings. It's now set up once in the admin panel, and every form in the workspace sends its emails from that domain.

#### Automatic redirect to your custom domain

Once your [custom domain](https://help.neetoform.com/articles/custom-domains) is active, anyone who opens a form on your NeetoForm subdomain is taken to the same page on your custom domain. Links you've already shared keep working, and search engines get your custom domain as the page's address.

#### Question descriptions in PDF and Excel downloads

[PDF and Excel downloads of submissions](https://help.neetoform.com/articles/how-to-download-submissions) have a new "Include question descriptions" option. In a PDF, each description appears below its question. In Excel, it's a note on the question's column header, so the sheet keeps the same rows and columns.

#### Conditional logic rules that read as a sentence

On the [conditional logic](https://help.neetoform.com/articles/conditional-logic-in-neetoform) page, each rule now reads as one sentence, such as "If Email contains @example.com then show Phone Number", and disabled rules are dimmed. The editor has If and Then headings, and add and delete buttons sit next to each row. Existing rules work the same as before.

#### API updates

- [API] [List forms](https://apidocs.neetoform.com/api/forms/list) now accepts a search term and a sort order, and list submissions can be filtered by submission date.

- [API] A new request [returns a form with its questions](https://apidocs.neetoform.com/api/forms/show), and another returns a short text outline of the form.

- [API] The [API](https://apidocs.neetoform.com/api/introduction) now covers what you can do in the app, from questions, conditional logic and automation rules to themes, discount codes, custom domains and team members.

## Bug fixes ⚒️

- The Unique ID element no longer gives a new submission a number that an earlier, deleted submission already used.

- Removing a discount code on a payment form now shows the full amount again, including in the Manual UPI QR code.

- File upload questions that allow JPG files now accept .jpg and .jpeg files on submit.

- Question labels that contain the \< and \> symbols now show in full in the form builder and on the public form.

- Strikethrough and underline now show in notification emails, the same as in the email preview.

- The Heading element no longer appears inside an outline box in submission emails.

- Double-clicking Next on a one question at a time form no longer skips a question or submits the form.

- Pressing Enter in a Short text question on a one question at a time form now moves to the next question.
