Create your first form

This guide covers how to create a form, add components, and publish it.

Start a new form

You have two options:

Start from scratch — Click the New form button in the top right corner of the dashboard. You’ll get a blank canvas ready for building.

Use a template — Browse the Templates page to start from a pre-built design. Useful for contact forms, surveys, and registrations.

Tip

Templates save time, especially when you’re getting started. You can always customize everything after.

When you create a new form from scratch, you’ll see an empty canvas with the message “Start by dragging a component here”.

Add your first component

The left sidebar shows all available components—text inputs, dropdowns, checkboxes, ratings, and more. To add one, drag it onto the canvas.

Try adding a Short Answer component:

Customize each component

Click any component to select it. The settings panel opens on the right, and you can start customizing.

Edit directly on the canvas

For most things—questions, descriptions, placeholders—you can edit right on the canvas. Just click and type.

Use the settings panel for more options

The right panel gives you everything else. What you can customize depends on the component:

• Choice components — Add, remove, and reorder options
• Number inputs — Set min/max values and validation
• Email and phone — Built-in format validation
• All components — Toggle required, add descriptions, set placeholders

Tip

The best way to learn is to explore. Drop different components onto your form and see what each one can do.

Preview before publishing

Click the Preview button in the top toolbar to see exactly what your users will see. Test the flow, check that validations work, and make sure everything looks right.

Publish your form

When you’re ready, click Publish in the top right corner. Your form will be live and can accept responses.

Remember to publish

Every time you make changes, you need to publish again. Unpublished changes stay in draft mode—your users won’t see them until you hit Publish.

Tips for better forms

Keep it short. Every extra field reduces completion rates. Only ask for what you actually need.

Write clear labels. “Your email address” is better than “Email.” Help users understand exactly what you’re asking.

Group related questions. If your form is long, use multiple pages to break it into logical sections.

Test like a user. Fill out your own form. If anything feels tedious or confusing, your users will feel it too.

Ask yourself: “Would I actually complete this form?” If the answer is no, simplify.

Next steps

Once your form is published, you can view and manage responses.
