Adding a Contact Us page to an Integrated Portal

The Apigee Integrated Developer Portal is a quick, simple to use portal that you can use to document and manage access to your APIs, and foster your app developer community.

It offers a rich set of features such as self-service registration, auto-generated API documentation and audience management.

It's a fairly common scenario to want to add a mechanism for app developers to communicate back to the API provider, for example, to request support or provide feedback.

There is no out of the box functionality in the Integrated Portal to do this. However, it is really easy to add such a feature to an Integrated Portal, leveraging the powerful Google Forms tool.

Here are the steps you'll need to take in order to add such a "Contact Us" page.

Create a form in forms.google.com, it's very intuitive and offers lots of options for entering information

Click on Send (Top right button). Click on the "Embed" tab ("<>"), this will generate an iframe element. Copy it. If you want your form to be responsive, change the fixed width attribute to 100%

Optionally configure to send emails notifications when a response is received (Top right icon in the Responses tab). Forms also supports a script editor, if you want to do more sophisticated things
