Build a form and read its inbox

Steps

1. In your site's admin, open "Site", then "Forms", and choose "New form".
2. On "Create a form", start one of three ways. Under "Describe it", write what you want in "Describe the form you want" and choose "Draft it with the copilot". Or pick Contact, RSVP or Feedback under "Or start from a template". Or choose "Start blank".
3. In the builder, add your fields and put them in order. There are 11 field types, as of October 2026. Set the "Submit button label", the "Success message" and the "Validation error message".
4. Under "Notifications", choose who is emailed when someone submits, and use "Send test" to check that it arrives.
5. Choose "Save changes".
6. Put the form on a page. Ask the copilot, for example "Add a contact form to the Contact page", or add a "Form" section in the Composer and choose the form by name. Then publish the page. The form's own screen then says where it lives, for example "This form is live at /contact."
7. Read what arrives on the "Submissions" tab: filter by "Received", "Spam" or "Unverified", open any entry, or choose "Download CSV".

Keep spam out

1. Open the "Settings" tab on Forms.
2. Choose a "Challenge provider": none, or Cloudflare Turnstile.
3. Choose what happens "When verification fails": accept the submission and flag it, or reject it.
4. A hidden trap field and a minimum fill time also mark automated submissions as spam, and no notice goes out for them. Set the "Minimum fill time (seconds)" to suit your form.
5. Save the settings to switch spam protection on. Spam protection is on from a site's first form.

Good to know

• Only Admins read submissions. Editors can build forms but do not see what people sent.
• A CSV holds up to 1,000 rows.
• Erasing a submission is permanent, and the screen says so before you confirm.
• "Release a PDF after submit" unlocks a document for the person who sent the form.
• The "Delivery" counts show what was sent and what is waiting, and "Dispatch queued now" sends what is waiting. Every form's notice is sent, through the platform's own mail when the site has none, and the inbox says when nothing went out. Coming soon.
• A file-upload field lets visitors attach a file to a form. Coming soon.
• People who submit see "Thank you. Your submission was received."

In a sentence

Ask the copilot "Who submitted this week?" or "How much spam did we block?". Reading changes nothing; sending, archiving, deleting or changing spam settings pauses for your approval.
