Forms are a simple way to grow your contact database. They let you capture data from prospects and guests automatically — no manual entry, no spreadsheets. You can use forms on your website, in email campaigns, on social media, or to collect feedback in-venue.
The drag-and-drop editor in Connect is built so anyone on your team can create and publish a polished form, then start collecting submissions straight away.
This article is a quick intro to forms. When you're ready to build, head to How to build a form in Connect for the full walkthrough.
What you can use forms for
Forms in Connect are flexible — here are some of the most common ways venues use them:
- Website signup — capture new contacts from your homepage or landing page
- Email campaigns — link to a form from an EDM to collect preferences or update guest profiles
- Surveys and feedback — gather guest feedback after a visit
- Online competitions — run promotions and capture entries
- In-venue data capture — collect contacts from staff at the door or table
- Social media campaigns — link to a form from your Instagram or Facebook bio
Every form you build feeds straight into your contact database, ready for segmentation and campaigns.
