How to create a custom form

October 18, 2018 support 2 min read

Custom forms let you collect information from your app users, such as new visitor details, prayer requests, small group sign-ups and more. This guide shows you how to build one.

Create the form

  1. In the left side menu, go to Forms.
  2. Click Create Form.
  3. Enter a Title for your form.
  4. In the Email to field, enter the email address where form responses should be sent.
  5. (Optional) Choose an Icon to represent the form in the app.
  6. Add a Description to explain what the form is for.
  7. (Optional) Change the Submit button text if you want something other than “Submit”.

Add your questions

Every new form starts with a Name and Email question. We recommend keeping these, as they are usually the details you will need. You can edit or remove them like any other question.

  1. Click Add Question. A new question appears as Untitled question.
  2. Click the question row to expand it, then type your question in the Question field.
  3. (Optional) Use the Type dropdown to change the question type, for example Short answer, Paragraph, Multiple choice, Checkboxes or Dropdown.
  4. For Multiple choice, Checkboxes or Dropdown questions, add your answer choices under Options.
  5. (Optional) Add a short Description to give the question more context.
  6. (Optional) Turn on Required if people must answer the question.

Save and publish

  1. When you have added all your questions, click Create Form to save.
  2. To make the form available in the app, turn on the Published toggle, then save your changes.

Add a form image

You can add a Form image that appears in the app to make your form look more appealing. The image upload only becomes available once the form has been saved, so save the form first, then open it again to upload an image.

  • Drag a question by its handle to reorder your questions.
  • You can come back and edit a form at any time from the Forms list.
