Forms & Lead Capture

Build forms with the field types you need, collect submissions, get notified by email, and export to a spreadsheet.

Forms let visitors send you information — a contact message, a sign-up, a question, or a file. You build a form by adding the fields you want, place it on a page, and then manage everything that comes in from one place. You can also be notified by email each time someone submits.

Building a form

Add the fields your form needs. Each field can be required or optional, and can have a placeholder, help text, and a translated label. Available field types:

Field typeUse it for
TextA short answer, like a name.
EmailAn email address.
Long textA longer message or note.
DropdownOne choice from a list.
CheckboxA yes/no tick, or several tickable options.
RadioOne choice from a small set shown together.
NumberA numeric answer.
DateA calendar date.
File uploadLet visitors attach a file.
PhoneA phone number.
Web addressA link, such as a portfolio.
PasswordA hidden, masked entry.

Forms check entries before accepting them — for example, an email field must contain a valid-looking email — so the information you receive is cleaner.

What happens after someone submits

For each form, you decide what the visitor sees and who gets told:

  • Success message — the thank-you text shown after submitting.
  • Redirect — send the visitor to another page after they submit.
  • Email notifications — email chosen recipients each time the form is submitted.

How to create a form

  1. Go to Admin → Website → Forms and click New Form.
  2. Click Add Field for each piece of information you want, and pick its type.
  3. Mark fields required or optional, and add placeholders and help text.
  4. Set a success message and, if you like, a redirect.
  5. Add the email addresses that should be notified on each submission.
  6. Click Save, then place the form on a page using a Form block — see Pages & blocks.

Managing submissions

Everything visitors send arrives in one place. Each submission can be new, read, or archived. You can:

  • Open a submission to see all its details.
  • Mark submissions as read or archive them.
  • Bulk delete submissions you no longer need.
  • Export to a spreadsheet for your records or follow-up.

Good to know

  • Forms also power other parts of your platform — for example, the form learners fill in to request a certificate. See Certificate requirements.
  • Use the file upload field when you need documents from visitors; those files land with the submission.
  • Keep forms short — ask only for what you truly need, to get more completed forms.
