Forms

Collecting information from leads and customers is a vital part of any physical-product business. Pakk’s integrated web forms makes the process easy and efficient.

• Are very similar to pages and have most of the same features

• However, forms also contain a web form of some kind that can be used to collect information from site users; for example, customer registration form

• Forms workflows and notification processes can be configured for each form

Form = Page

Fundamentally, each form that you make functions as a page within your site. You’ll recognise most of the content fields on Forms from Pages: title, subtitle, background image, content and feature blocks. These content fields are used to customise the top matter of your form and work identically to how they work on Pages - in fact, a Form is literally just a Page with a customisable form attached.

Remember that Forms are a webable entity in Pakk, so once you’ve created your form, you need to mark it as web enabled and choose which sites to display it on, as well as configure the meta title, description and slug.

Once you’ve saved your form, you’ll be able to view and copy the URL. Use this URL to link to the form wherever you would use any page URL, e.g.,

• In menus (e.g., aux menu, footer menu)

• In Feature Block call-to-action buttons (e.g., “Register Now” block on homepage)

• Embedded in markdown text (e.g., when writing an article, embed a link to sign up customers)

• In emails

• In direct messaging with customers (e.g., send them directly to a form to capture information)

There is one noticeable difference between Forms and Pages. Due to the complexity of the UI, Forms are not ‘translatable’ which means you need to create a separate form for each language site you want to display it on.
