Questions for Tobi/Seyi:

1. How can we access the backend of this form and get the emails sent to us when someone signs up?
2. What does the user see once they sign-in through LinkedIn? And do they need a full name and email?
3. We need to encrypt the data and make the signatures immutable. Once you’ve set up the form, please confirm this is possible.
