A registration form collects sign-ups and manages who’s in. The same core setup works across events, courses, and memberships — with a few settings that make a real difference.

Build Your Registration Form

1

Start from a Template

Click New Form → browse the Registration templates, or use Create with AI — describe your event and FormHug generates the fields and structure.
2

Configure the Email Field

On the Email field, enable No Duplicates in the field settings. This prevents the same person from registering more than once.
3

Set a Capacity Limit

If you have limited spots, go to Settings → Submission Rules → set a maximum submission count. Choose what happens at the limit: show a full message, redirect to another page, or close silently.
4

Set Up Confirmation Emails

Go to Settings → Notifications → Add Notification. Create two:
  • Admin alert: notifies you of each new sign-up
  • Registrant confirmation: recipient set to Submitter’s Email, with event details and any next steps
5

Publish and Share

Click Publish. Share the link directly, embed the form on your site, or generate a QR code poster for physical locations.

​
Let Registrants Check Their Status

Once registration is live, people often want to confirm they’re on the list. Use Public Query to create a self-service lookup page — registrants enter their email or ID to see their own record without you having to answer individual queries.
