Build a Form
Forms are multi-page data collection flows that let you gather information from visitors in a structured, engaging way. Unlike a simple contact form, TinyPages forms can span multiple pages, branch based on answers, and route respondents to different outcomes automatically.
Common uses
- Lead qualification — screen applicants for a high-ticket coaching program before offering a discovery call
- Surveys & feedback — collect satisfaction scores, testimonials, or research data from clients
- Audience research — understand your audience's goals and challenges before building a new product
- Event registration — gather details from people signing up for a webinar or workshop
- Client intake — collect everything you need from a new client before their first session
Creating a form
- Go to Forms in your dashboard and click New form.
- Give your form a name.
- The form opens in the editor. Add fields using the block menu (type
/as usual). - To add a new page to the form, click the + button in the sidebar.
Know the status of each form
Your list of forms shows a colored dot just before each form name. It answers two questions at a glance: can visitors fill in this form, and are they seeing your latest version?
| Indicator | What it means |
|---|---|
| Gray dot | Draft. The form exists for you only, nobody can fill it in yet. Click Publish in the editor once it's ready. |
| Green dot | Online. Visitors see the form exactly as you built it. |
| Yellow dot | Unpublished changes. The form is online, but you have edited it since, so visitors still see the previous version. Open the form and click Update to make your changes live. |
Hold your mouse over a dot to read its meaning without leaving the list.
A key behavior: early lead capture
Submitting the first page of a form — which must include an email field — creates a contact record immediately, even if the visitor abandons the form before completing it. This means you capture the lead from the very first step, regardless of whether they finish.
This is especially valuable for multi-step forms: you never lose a lead just because someone got distracted halfway through.
See Qualification form → Discovery call for a step-by-step example.
Visitors can go back
From the second step onwards, a back arrow appears at the top left of the form. Visitors can return to a previous step to review or correct an answer, and everything they already typed stays in place.
Going back never creates duplicates. If a visitor changes an answer and continues, their existing submission is simply updated, and the contact created on the first step stays unique.
