Make data collection simple and efficient with Forms! It’s a powerful tool for automating the process of client interaction. With Forms, you can quickly and conveniently gather important information, structure it, and instantly send it to CRM for further processing.

In Uspacy, there are two types of forms:

🟣 Ready-made, pre-configured thematic forms with a defined list of fields, which can be changed if needed.

🟣 Custom forms, that is, ones created by you from scratch, adapted to the needs of your workflows.

💡 Currently, among the predefined forms, only the Contact information type is available for use.

How to create a new form?

🌟 The number of forms available for creation depends on the plan:

  • Free – 1.

  • Standard – up to 5.

  • Professional – unlimited.

First, you need to go to the Forms page in the Marketing section.

💡 Access to this section is available only to the administrator or the Space owner.

Then click on the Create button.

Alternatively, if your Workspace doesn’t have any forms yet, you can use the + New form button in the table.

A window will open where you need to select the type of form you wish to create. You can select your custom form with individual settings or one of the predefined types (currently, only the Contact information type is available). After that, click on the Continue button.

Let’s create a form from scratch.

But first, we need to decide which entity to create based on the form submission. It can be a lead or a contact.

💡 Note 💡

If you select one of the predefined types, the fields that should be included in the form for that type will be automatically marked. Additionally, the entities that should be created based on the submission will be specified.

However, you can always add the necessary fields, remove unnecessary ones, select a different entity for creation, and customize the form as you like. For example, you can remove extra elements or change the colors. So, while the form has a specific type, the set of fields, settings, and appearance can be customized. The type is just a template and a hint that can speed up the creation process.

Next, we’ll define:

Fields

This is the information we’ll receive from users who fill out the form. The list will include all available fields for addition.

It depends on the entity being created based on the form submission.

Also, it depends on whether any custom fields, such as Phone, Email, or Row, have been created for this entity.

So, let’s select the fields we want to include in the form.

Or we can add them using a special button.

We can also make additional settings for each field, such as:

🟣 Field name in the form – describes the information the user should enter in this field.

🟣 Placeholder text – displayed in the field before the user starts typing information.

🟣 Hint text – a short explanation that appears under the form field, providing additional information or clarification on how to properly fill out a specific field.

🟣 Required field – indicates that this field must be filled out for the form to be successfully submitted.

As a result, if you set up all the fields for the form in this way, it will look something like this:

To remove unnecessary fields, just click on the cross next to each one.

Other elements

All of them are already included in the form. However, you can remove them if they are not needed.

Let’s look at each element separately:

🟣 Logo – This is a graphic element placed at the top of the form. You can select an icon from the suggested standard ones.

🟣 Header – This is a short, clear text that explains the purpose of the form. You can write any text and also use the built-in editor in the input field. This allows you to change the size, color, positioning of the text, and more.

🟣 Subheader – This is additional text below the header, which can include hints and explanations. It also helps make the form clearer and increases the likelihood of it being filled out. The input field also contains a built-in text editor.

🟣 Consent to data processing – This is a required element to ensure compliance with personal data protection requirements (e.g., GDPR, Personal Data Protection Law). This field informs the user that their data will be processed and allows them to confirm their consent.

You can write your own text for the data processing warning. Additionally, you can add a link to the privacy policy page on your website.

Moreover, you can define whether the user’s consent to data processing is required for successful form submission.

There is also a setting for automatic consent. If this option is inactive, the user must manually check the box.

Object settings

These are important parameters that are not directly related to the form’s appearance but affect its processing after submission.

🟣 Responsible for the object – This is the user who will be responsible for the CRM entity element created based on the form. You need to select one of the active users in the Workspace.

💡 The system automatically adds the user who created the form to this field. Therefore, if the person responsible should be another user, you need to account for that and change.

🟣 Automatic field filling – This requires selecting a value for the Source field.

The system will automatically add it to the CRM entity element cards created based on the form.

You can add your own option to use for filling. This means your list can include not only standard sources but also those that represent forms you’ve created.

How to add the form name as a Source?

In the Settings, go to the block for the entity for which you need to add your own value for the Source field.

Then, edit the parameters of this field.

Next, add (1) a row for the new value and give it a name (2), and then Save (3).

After this, the newly created option will appear when filling out the Source field in the Object settings block.

Send button

In addition to the previous three blocks, the form settings also include the ability to change the parameters of the button used by the client to confirm the form submission.

🟣 Button text and icon – These depend on the button’s purpose. The button should clearly indicate the action the user will take after clicking it. The icon adds additional attention.

Of course, you can disable its display if needed.

You can also select the color for the button from the available standard options.

Alternatively, you can manually enter a HEX code.

Almost done! We just need to give the form a name since we forgot to do this at the very beginning 😉.

Also, note the active option. It is automatically enabled when the creation window is opened.

Finally, click Save.

As a result, the form will appear in the list on the page.

So, the form is ready for use!
