A contact form lets visitors reach you without exposing your email address. Set up correctly, it delivers inquiries straight to your inbox and confirms receipt to the submitter automatically. If the form is part of a growth workflow, browse lead generation templates or read how to build a lead generation form. For page-level examples, see contact us page examples.

EmailEmailYes — needed for your reply

Keep it short. Most visitors won’t fill more than 4–5 fields on a contact form. Only ask for what you’ll actually use.

​
Build Your Contact Form

1

Create the Form

From your dashboard, click New Form → choose the Contact template, start from a contact form template, or start from scratch.
2

Add Your Fields

Add Name, Email, and Message as required fields. Add Subject as a Dropdown if you handle multiple inquiry types (e.g., Sales, Support, Partnership).
3

Notify Yourself

Go to Settings → Notifications → Add Notification. Set the trigger to Every Submission and enter the email address where you want to receive inquiries.
4

Confirm Receipt to the Submitter

Add a second notification and switch the recipient to Submitter’s Email. Write a short confirmation message — this reassures visitors that their message arrived.
5

Publish and Embed

Click Publish, then embed the form on your Contact page. An embedded form converts better than a standalone link.

​
Reduce Spam

Contact forms on public sites attract spam. Two settings that help:
SettingWhere to Find It
Daily submission limitSettings → Submission Rules
Require loginSettings → Basic Settings → Submission Access
For most public contact forms, keep submissions open but set a daily limit. Reserve login-required access for internal or team-only forms.
