Your forms

Forms lists each form with its slug, number of submissions, status and creation date. Click the submission count to read them.

Duplicate copies all fields and settings under a new name. Delete removes the form and all its submissions and cannot be undone.

Build a form

New sites come with a Contact Form and a Newsletter Subscription form. Build more in Forms → Create form.

1. Name the form, for example "Cake order", and press Create.
2. Click field types on the left to add them: Text, Email, Text area, Number, Phone, URL, Date, Time, Dropdown, Radio, Checkbox, File, Hidden, a Field group to group them under a title, or a Repeating group for rows visitors can add (see below).
3. Open a field (the arrow on its row) to set its Label, placeholder, help text, Required field and validation rules. Reorder with the arrows or the grip.
4. Press Save form, then Preview to try it. A preview checks your answers but saves and sends nothing.
5. Place it on a page with the Contact Form section (Add section → Forms) and pick your form.

Repeating groups

A Repeating group lets a visitor add as many rows as they need, such as one row per guest or per cake on an order.

1. Add a Repeating group and give it a label.
2. Add its fields, up to 10. It holds simple fields only: no files, hidden fields or other groups.
3. Set Minimum rows and Maximum rows (up to 20), and optionally Add button text, Remove button text and Row label. In the label, {n} is replaced by the row number.

Each entry's rows appear on its submission page, in the CSV export, in summary emails and in webhooks. If a group is set up wrongly, Save form says what to fix.

Form settings

Settings for a form sets the success message or a page to redirect to, the submit button text and style, and whether the form is active. Two options are on paid plans:

• Email me a summary of new submissions: one digest email, at most every 30 minutes, instead of one email per entry.
• Send submissions to a webhook: pushes each entry to another system (a CRM, a spreadsheet tool) as it arrives.

Changes show in a bar at the bottom of the page; press Save settings there.

Webhooks

A webhook sends each submission to another system (a CRM, a spreadsheet tool, Zapier) the moment it arrives. It needs a paid plan.

1. Turn on Send submissions to a webhook.
2. Enter the Webhook URL and choose POST or PUT.
3. Optional: add Extra headers, such as an API key your system expects.
4. Optional: press Generate for a Signing secret. Every request then carries an X-Webmarlin-Signature header your system can check.
5. Optional: write a Body. Leave it blank to send the whole submission, or use {{field.name}}, {{submission.id}} and {{website.domain}}.
6. Choose whether to Send spam submissions too, then Save settings.
7. Press Send test. The page shows the status your endpoint answered.

Read submissions

Submissions lists every entry. Search and filter, open one to read it, Mark as spam or Not spam, archive or delete in bulk. Analytics charts submissions per day or week.

• All, New, Read and Archived filter the list. On paid plans a Spam filter holds entries flagged as spam; spam never shows under the other filters.
• Tick rows to Mark as read, Archive or Delete several at once.
• Export CSV downloads the submissions as a spreadsheet file.

Opening a submission marks it Read. The page shows the answers, file uploads with Download, when it was sent, and the raw data. On paid plans it also shows the spam score and reason, and each Webhook delivery attempt with its result and timing.

Analytics

Analytics counts submissions for a date range: the total against the previous period, and how many are new, read and archived. The chart shows one bar per day (per week for long ranges).
