Getting Started with Form Builder

What is Form Builder?

Form Builder lets you create custom forms for collecting information from people — registrations, surveys, contact forms, RSVPs, order forms, and more. Build professional forms in minutes with a drag-and-drop interface, no coding required.

Key Features

• Drag-and-Drop Builder — Add fields by dragging from the palette
• Smart Presets — Pre-built Address, Name, and Dietary fields save time
• Response Management — View all form submissions in one place
• Custom Success Messages — Show personalized thank-you messages
• Auto-Save — Your changes save automatically as you work
• Public Forms — Each form gets a unique URL to share
