Extensions to the WFFM Conversion Tool to support popular Sitecore Forms modules on the Sitecore Marketplace

The latest release of the WFFM Conversion Tool is now available on its GitHub repository and it offers an exciting new feature among the new introduced changes. This version introduces the ability to extend the conversion capabilities of the tool to support the conversion of Web Forms For Marketers (WFFM) items to custom Sitecore Forms items added by using Sitecore modules available on the Sitecore Marketplace.

WFFM Conversion Tool: the new automated solution to convert Sitecore Web Forms For Marketers items and data to Sitecore Forms

Last year the Sitecore Web Forms For Marketers (WFFM) module was officially deprecated with the release of Sitecore XP 9.1. Sitecore Forms has become the only supported option for content authors to build marketing forms in Sitecore. While this was not a disruptive news for any new green field website project, this announcement had a relatively big impact on existing Sitecore web applications that used the Sitecore WFFM module, and wanted to upgrade to the latest version of Sitecore. The only upgrade option was to manually recreate the marketing forms using Sitecore Forms, spending a good amount of time and leaving the saved WFFM forms data behind.

Well…Until now!
