Create a form

Every form in FormFlows.ai starts from the Forms dashboard. Click New Form in the top-right corner to open the creation dialog, then choose how you want to build it.

From scratch
With AI

Building from scratch gives you full control over structure and layout from the first field.

Name your form

Enter a name for the form in the Form name field. This name appears in your dashboard and in the browser tab when the form is embedded. Choose something that makes it easy to identify later, such as “Q3 Customer Feedback” or “New Employee Onboarding”.

Choose a starting template or blank canvas

Select Blank form to start with an empty canvas, or pick one of the pre-built templates — such as Contact Form, Event Registration, or Support Request — to get a head start. Templates include pre-configured fields and logic you can modify or remove.

Add fields

In the form builder, click Add field or drag a field type from the left panel onto the canvas. Fields stack vertically by default. You can reorder them at any time by dragging the handle on the left side of each field row.See Field types for a full list of available field types and their configuration options.

Configure each field

Click any field to open its settings panel on the right. From here you can:

Set a label and optional description
Mark the field as required
Add a placeholder or default value
Enable validation rules (character limits, number ranges, format checks)
Assign a field ID used in API responses and conditional logic

Organize with pages and sections

For longer forms, click Add page to break the form into multiple steps. Within a page, click Add section to group related fields under a heading. Section headers improve readability and can be shown or hidden with conditional logic.

Configure form settings

Open the Settings tab in the top navigation bar to configure:

Submission behavior — redirect to a URL, show a confirmation message, or allow multiple submissions
Notifications — send email alerts to your team when responses arrive
Spam protection — enable CAPTCHA or honeypot protection
Response limits — close the form after a set number of submissions or a specific date

Preview and publish

Click Preview to open a live preview of the form in a new tab. When you’re satisfied, click Publish. Your form is now live and accessible via its share link or embed code.

The AI form generator builds a complete form — including fields, labels, and conditional logic — from a plain-text description. You can then edit the result exactly as you would any manually built form.

Open the AI generator

From the New Form dialog, select Generate with AI. A prompt input appears in the center of the screen.

Describe your form

Type a description of the form you need. Be specific about the purpose, the audience, and any fields or logic you want included. The more detail you provide, the more accurate the result.

Example prompts that work well:

“Create a job application form for a software engineering role. Include fields for name, email, LinkedIn URL, years of experience, a dropdown for preferred tech stack, and a long-text field for a cover letter. Make experience and cover letter required.”
“Build a customer satisfaction survey with a 1–5 star rating for overall experience, individual ratings for support, product quality, and delivery speed, and a text box for additional comments. Show the comments field only if the overall rating is 3 or below.”
“Generate a medical intake form with fields for patient name, date of birth, insurance provider, a checklist of current medications, known allergies, and emergency contact details. Group the fields into logical sections.”
“Make a simple event RSVP form asking for name, email, dietary preferences as a dropdown, and whether they’re bringing a guest. If they select yes to bringing a guest, show a field for the guest’s name.”

Review the generated form

FormFlows.ai generates a complete form and opens it directly in the builder. Review the field names, order, and types. The AI will have made reasonable assumptions — for example, using a dropdown for a small set of options or an email field for contact addresses.

Edit and refine

Modify any field by clicking it to open the settings panel. You can add, remove, or reorder fields the same way as in a manually built form. If the generated logic or structure isn’t quite right, you can also click Regenerate and adjust your prompt.

Regenerating replaces the current form entirely. If you’ve made manual edits you want to keep, edit individual fields instead of regenerating.

Publish

When the form looks right, click Publish. Your form is immediately live. You can continue editing a published form at any time — changes take effect as soon as you save.
