Forms let you collect information from the people who scan your QR code or visit your landing page. You build a form the same way you build a landing page — a block-based canvas with a live mobile preview — but a form's canvas is limited to question blocks plus a header, a submit button, and an optional skip button. ## Navigating to Forms From the left sidebar, click **Forms**. This opens your forms list, showing every form's name, response count, linked QR codes, and creation date. The sidebar also shows a **Lead List** item under Forms, tagged **Legacy**. Lead List is the deprecated predecessor to Forms — it still works, but new forms should use the Forms builder described here. ## Creating a form From the forms list, click **New Form** in the top right. Pick one of six templates: * **Blank form** — start from an empty canvas * **Contact form** — Full Name, Email, and Message * **Feedback survey** * **Customer satisfaction** * **Event registration** * **Lead capture** New Form template picker showing six template cards: Blank form, Contact form, Feedback survey, Customer satisfaction, Event registration, and Lead capture The Contact form template's three questions are **Full Name**, **Email**, and **Message** only — there is no phone field. If you need to collect a phone number, add a **Phone Number** question block yourself. Selecting a template opens the form builder immediately, with the template's blocks already on the canvas. Form builder showing the Contact form template with Form Header, Short Answer (Full Name), Email, Paragraph (Message), Submit Button, and Skip Button blocks in the left BLOCKS list, and a live mobile preview Every form — regardless of template — is built from the same six-slot shape: a **Form Header**, one or more question blocks, a **Submit Button**, and an optional **Skip Button**. See [Skip button & form gates](/forms/skip-button-and-gates) for how Skip actually works. ## Adding and reordering questions * Click **Add** above the BLOCKS list to open the question picker. * Drag the handle on the left of any block in the BLOCKS list to reorder it. * Click a block to select it and edit its Content/Design fields in the right panel. * Select a block and click its trash icon to delete it. The picker groups blocks into four tabs — **All**, **Blocks**, **Questions**, and **Content** — and reports how many are still available to add (form-level blocks like Form Header, Submit Button, and Skip Button can only be added once each, so they drop out of the count once used). Add a block picker showing 17 blocks available across All, Blocks, Questions, and Content tabs, with question types including Short Answer, Paragraph, Email, Phone Number, Number, Multiple Choice, Checkboxes, and Dropdown visible ## Question types The Questions tab offers 16 question types: | Type | When to use | | ------------------- | ------------------------------------------ | | **Short Answer** | Single-line text (name, city, code) | | **Paragraph** | Multi-line free text (feedback, comments) | | **Email** | Validated email address | | **Phone Number** | Phone number input | | **Number** | Numeric input with optional min/max | | **Multiple Choice** | Single selection from a list of options | | **Checkboxes** | Multiple selections from a list of options | | **Dropdown** | Selection from a dropdown menu | | **Linear Scale** | Rating on a numeric scale (e.g. 1–5) | | **Date** | Date picker | | **Time** | Time picker | | **Star Rating** | Rating using star icons | | **Emoji Rating** | Rating using emoji faces | | **Like / Dislike** | Thumbs up or thumbs down rating | | **File Upload** | Respondent uploads a file | | **Signature** | Digital signature pad | The **Content** tab has one additional non-question block, **Description** — a rich-text paragraph with formatting, links, and images, for adding instructions or context between questions. ## Form settings The right panel has two tabs at the form level: **General** and **Submit**. ### General | Setting | What it does | | ------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Form name** | Internal label shown in the dashboard's forms list — not shown to respondents | ### Submit Configure the submit button label, a receiver email for response notifications, and after-submission behavior (show a message or redirect to a URL). There is no separate "Skip" tab in form settings. Skip is a canvas block, not a settings toggle — see [Skip button & form gates](/forms/skip-button-and-gates). ## Saving changes Changes auto-save as you edit — the header shows a live **Saving…**/**Saved** indicator. The primary header button reads **Create Form** before the form's first save, and updates to **Update Form** afterward. ## Linking a form to a QR code A form only starts collecting responses once it's linked to a QR code. Open the QR code's **Settings** tab and turn on **Capture Leads**, then choose **Capture using Forms** and link your form. The [Skip button & form gates](/forms/skip-button-and-gates) page covers this flow — including the display style, timing, and expiry rules — in detail. ## Where to go next * [Skip button & form gates](/forms/skip-button-and-gates) — configuring the Skip button and how a linked form gates your landing page. * [Viewing & exporting responses](/forms/responses) — the response viewer, analytics, and export. ## Related * [Viewing & exporting responses](/forms/responses) — where a form's submissions end up once it's collecting data. * [Skip button & form gates](/forms/skip-button-and-gates) — linking this form to a QR code and configuring how it's gated. * [Page Builder overview](/page-builder/overview) — the block-based landing page editor this form builder is modeled on.
