Add a form so visitors can contact you

A form is how visitors reach you without needing your email address. They fill it in, you get the message. We walk you through building one in three short steps, and you can start from a ready-made template. It's no trouble.

Before you start

Forms belong to the profile you're working in. If you have more than one profile, switch to the right one first. You'll build the form, then share its link or place it on your profile so people can find it.

Starting a new form

Go to Forms in your navigation.
Select the Add button at the top of the page. The setup window opens.
You'll see the question "What would you like to create?"

The window guides you through three steps, shown by the dots at the top.

Step 1: Pick what the form is for

Choose the option that matches your goal:

Collect information: contact forms, inquiries, and feedback. Pick this for a basic "get in touch" form.
Schedule appointments: let people book time on your calendar.
Grow your audience: newsletter signups and waitlists.
Exchange contact info: trade details like a digital business card. They share theirs, you send yours back.

Tap the one you want.

Step 2: Start from a template or from scratch

You'll see "Pick a starting point."
Choose a template card to start with fields already filled in, or choose Start blank to build your own.
A template is the faster path for most people. You can change every field later.

Step 3: Name your form and create it

You'll see "Name your form."
Type a name in the Form name box, like "Contact Form" or "Book a Call." A name is required.
Select Create Form.

You land on the form's edit screen, where you can fine-tune everything.

Adding and editing fields

On the edit screen, open the Fields tab to shape what visitors fill in.

Select Add Field to add a new question.
Tap any field to open it, then set its Label (what the visitor reads), its Type (like Text, Email, or Phone), and an optional Placeholder.
Turn on Required for fields a visitor must complete.
Drag a field by its handle to reorder it.
Select Save Fields when you're done.

Some fields are marked as system fields and can't be removed. Those keep the form working.

Turning the form on

A form only collects responses once it's active.

On the edit screen, open the Basics tab.
Turn on the Active toggle. When it's on, the note reads "Accepting submissions."
If it's off, the note reads "Form is not accepting submissions," and visitors can't send anything.

You'll also see an Active or Inactive badge near the form name so you always know its state.

Getting people to your form

Open your form from the Forms list.
Find the Share card.
Select Copy to copy the form's link. You'll see "Link copied!"

Paste that link into a message, an email, or your social bio. You can also add the form to your profile so visitors find it there.

Choosing who gets notified

You can have NoTrouble email you each time someone submits.

On the edit screen, open the More tab.
Find Notification Emails.
Type one or more addresses, separated by commas. Leave it empty for no emails.

Setting what visitors see after they submit

Still on the More tab, the After Submission section lets you set a friendly close.

Success Headline: the first thing visitors read after sending, like "Thanks for reaching out!"
Success Message: a short, warm note below the headline.
Redirect URL: optional. Send visitors to another page after they submit.

My form isn't collecting anything

If responses aren't coming in, check these in order:

The form is off. Open the Basics tab and turn on Active. An inactive form turns visitors away.
No one has the link. Copy the link from the form's Share card and send it out, or add the form to your profile.
The profile is private. A form on a private profile can't be reached. Publish the profile, then try again.

I'm not getting notified about new responses

Open the More tab and check Notification Emails. If it's empty, no emails go out, which is by design. Add your address there to start getting them. Also check your spam folder, since the first notification can land there.
