Create and Configure Forms

You can create forms directly within your workspace and place them on any page in your publication.

Forms are one of the most powerful tools on the web, allowing you to efficiently capture information—whether you’re collecting newsletter signups, event registrations, or inquiries from potential clients. With Publi, you can fully customize and optimize your forms to fit your needs.

Form Anatomy

A Form block inherits the full width of its parent container and consists of three main parts:

• Form — Holds all your form inputs (such as text fields, dropdowns, and checkboxes) and the submit button.

• Success Message — Displays after a form is successfully submitted, confirming receipt.

• Error Message — Displays if there is an issue with the form submission, helping users understand what went wrong.

Create a form

You can access your form editor by selecting it from the Workspace tab on the left navigation.

Click on the button to create a new form.

For each field you create, type your placeholder text (the text that will be displayed in the field until the user fills it in) and click on the pencil icon to open its settings.

What happens when a user fills the form

Use the Settings tab to add an email address if you want to receive a notification when a new form response is submitted.

You will be able to view all form responses in the Submissions tab.

Set up integrations

Optionally, you can use the Settings tab to set up a Zapier or Webhook integration.

Publish a form

Once your form is set up, preview it to make sure everything looks and works as expected. When you’re happy with it, publish the form — it’s now ready to be used in your projects.

Add the form to a page

To add your form to a page, open the page and click the plus (+) button or type a slash ( / ) to open the component menu. Then, select your form from the list of available components.
