Adding a Form to Your GoSite Website

Create a place on your website where clients can easily submit information directly to your email inbox.

Forms are a great way for clients and website visitors to submit their information directly to you. Information gathered from Forms can then be sent to your preferred email. This article will teach you how to create and add a form directly to your GoSite website.

Before starting, log in to GoSite on a computer and open the website editor.

Note: The website editor is currently accessible through a desktop computer only. You cannot edit your website through the mobile app on iPhone, Android, or Tablets.

    2. Form Content: Create custom fields for your customers to fill out. You can make responses required and change type of responses (input field, multiline text, dropdown) . Add multiple fields but pressing the "+" icon.
