Types of form fields
Pick form fields to collect the right information for your business needs. Form fields are grouped in the following types:
- Contacts: Collect contact details (e.g. email, phone, address).
- General: All the common types of fields you can add (e.g. text fields, number fields, file uploads, signatures).
- Choices: These are great for any selection the visitor has to make in your form (e.g. multi choice, dropdown, checkbox)
- Dates: Allow visitors to select a specific date and/or time.
- Buttons: Add a call to action button to your form.
Tip: Choose what happens when visitors submit the form. - Layout elements: Add header and text elements to provide more information and explanations throughout the form.
Configuring your form fields
