Oh, the dog days of summer are almost over. For some, the month of August marks the return to routine as kids go back to school and Pumpkin Spice returns to the shelves. For those of us at Saturday Drive with school-age children who have returned to in-person schooling, it means quiet homes.
This month we released the highly anticipated Ninja Forms CiviCRM add-on and finished our latest build cycle. Update announcements are coming soon 🙂 Sign up for our newsletter to hear it first!

🥳 Nico celebrates his 3rd year as an Engineer for Ninja Forms / Saturday Drive
You might not know this, but Nico got his start in programming as a part-time support agent answering support requests for CalderaForms. As he developed his skillset, he became one of their key developers.
In 2019 Nico joined Ninja Forms as our first non-US team member. He resides in France with his wife and two beautiful kids.
We are highly honored to have Nico on our team. He is a talented engineer and a great teammate. Thank you for all your hard work and many contributions.

At this time, our CiviCRM add-on gives you the ability to create contacts from any WordPress form to capture the following data: contact type, email address, phone, IM(s), Website(s), and Address(es). https://ninjaforms.com/docs/civicrm/. In time, we will be adding more features, depending on the popularity and growth of the add-on. So if you see a feature you would like, send us a feature request so that we can add it to our roadmap.
