I know there are many documentations on this already and wanted to thank the Sitecore Documentation team for a detailed document page on this topic. Please read the official document here.
We had a request of having a registration form where once the user submits the form, the user must be created in the Sitecore User Manager so that user can login to the front end site.
I can’t share the exact code but can share the hardcoded code for testing purpose.
- Create a Registration Form using Sitecore Forms.
- The fields which are expected are (Full Name, Email, Password, Confirm Password, Comments).
- Now we have Save Data as submit action but it won’t help hence we need to create custom submit action.
- Create a class file and copy the below code. The execute method is the main method to write your business logic.

5. To make the above code you might need to add Sitecore.ExperienceForms NuGet package.
6. Once the code is built and published, go to Sitecore Content Editor.
7. Go to /sitecore/system/Settings/Forms/Submit Actions.
8. Add a new Custom Submit Action under it.
9. Publish the setting item.
10. Go to the Launchpad >> Forms.
11. Open the Registration Form and click on the Submit button.
12. Expand the Submit actions section and should be able to see the new Custom Submit action.
This should help you to create custom submit actions based on your custom requests.
Thank you.. Keep Learning.. Keep Sitecoring.. 🙂
