Thanks! I have another question.

How can I set the text on my on my submission fields to be right-aligned? 

[NailDyanC]

With that question, you can go to Styles → Form/Details → Source → Fields then add this code:
text-align: right;

Thank you, this post is so helpful and a source of good reference. Can I ask a question, how can I convert existing HTML Forms to work with Caspio? Is that possible?

Hi, 

Yes that is possible. If you want the advantages of a web database, but have a few forms that you cannot upgrade to DataPages, you can change these older forms to submit data directly to Caspio Bridge.  This way all of your data is submitted to a central location for easy access.  You will adapt your form to pass the data to an intermediary DataPage that will submit the data to the database.  From the intermediary DataPage you have all of the options that Caspio Bridge provides for destinations and triggers including notification emails.  You can use this technique whether your original form uses the GET or POST method. 

You can check this link for reference: https://howto.caspio.com/tech-tips-and-articles/advanced-customizations/how-to-convert-existing-html-forms-to-work-with-caspio/

I hope that helps.

I would advise you to create the submission forms in Caspio instead of sending data as parameters since you are adding an unnecesary layer for the data processing.

Creating a submission form in Caspio is very easy, just follow this article: https://howto.caspio.com/datapages/forms/submission-forms/
