Nosto's Direct Uploader allows you to collect content and assets from your audience via an embeddable form that can be added to any website.

The fields available within the form are completely customizable and can be changed to suit your brand's requirements.

To configure a GoConnect visit Discover > Direct Uploader and click the Create New Direct Uploader button.

Configuration of fields is done under section two - Upload Form.

Descriptions of each of the respective fields are available below:

  • Show Progress Bar
    Direct Uploaders split these fields over several screens. This field allows you to choose if you want to show end users how much progress they have made.

Each field (except reCAPTCHA) can be configured as optional or required.

In addition to the out-of-the-box options provided, you can also add custom fields to your Direct Uploader. The process is more technical, as it requires HTML, CSS, and possible Javascript knowledge.

For any further questions or queries, please send an email to support@nosto.com and our support team will get back to you.
