Workflow Forms

Forms let you collect data from users and start a workflow when a form is submitted.

Build forms using a visual editor, then use the submitted data throughout your workflow to generate documents, apply logic, send emails, and more.

Designing Forms

Forms are created using a drag-and-drop, visual editor.

You can:

  • Add text, number, date, and choice fields
  • Add table fields to collect multiple rows of data
  • Reorder fields visually
  • Configure labels, helper text, and validation
  • Preview the form as users will see it

No code or technical knowledge is required.

Using Form Data in Workflows

When a form is submitted, the workflow starts and the submitted fields become available to every step in the workflow.

You can use form data to:

  • Generate documents from templates
  • Apply conditions and calculations
  • Personalize emails
  • Send data to other systems

For example, a form can collect customer and order details, generate an order confirmation document, and email it to the customer automatically.

Styling Forms

Forms are fully customizable: pick a theme, adjust colors and fonts, add your logo and a background image, and remove the TemplateDocs branding - so the form looks like a natural part of your brand.

See Styling & Branding for details.

Sharing and Embedding Forms

Published forms are available at a public URL that anyone can use - no TemplateDocs account needed. You can share the link directly, or embed the form in your own website with a small HTML snippet.

See Sharing & Embedding for details.
