SwiftFox Forms is an exciting part of the SwiftFox platform. Once you create a form, you can do so much with the data that you build from it. You can use this tool to create surveys, petitions, update contact lists, and deepen client relationships.

00:00:21:34 - 00:00:33:27
In this tutorial, I'll show you how to create a form, link it to your website, and see form responses.

00:00:33:31 - 00:00:52:25
Let's make a "Contact Us" form for your website. Go to Forms, select "Create New Form," fill out the name, and then select "Create." To design your form, use the blocks on the right-hand side of your screen. Let's take the "Free Text" block and drag it onto the canvas.

00:00:52:29 - 00:01:02:06
Now you can write a brief description. You can customise your form with colors and fonts, but we're going to keep it pretty simple for this tutorial.

00:01:02:17 - 00:01:28:42
Next, take the "Contact Capture" or "Update" block. This will allow us to automatically update and store contact details in SwiftFox. Now we can add questions. Let's ask, "Can we help you?" But you can ask anything. To finish on the final page, write a post-survey message or continue with the automatic message.

00:01:28:46 - 00:01:53:49
Hit "Next" and now you can seamlessly link the form with your website. See this box titled "Embed Code"? This is what will connect your SwiftFox form with your website. First, adjust the height and width of your form to suit your design. Then copy and paste it straight into your website's content management system, for example, your WordPress site.

00:01:54:03 - 00:02:07:31
Once you publish in your CMS, it will appear on your website. Here's ours. Now when you go to the website, you'll see the "Contact Us" form you've created.

00:02:07:35 - 00:02:29:39
As someone fills out the form, those details will automatically appear in SwiftFox as a post and on a person's profile. And any new contacts will be automatically created in SwiftFox. Forms make the painstaking work of data entry automatic and simple. For more form videos, check out our form tutorials in the SwiftFox Academy.
