Field Types

The form builder offers a full set of field types, grouped by purpose. Drag any of them onto the canvas from the field palette.

Email Email address; maps to the contact email and validates format
Textarea Longer multi-line input, such as a message

Radio Visible options, one selection
Checkbox One or more toggles, or a single yes/no
Field Use for

Field Use for
File A file upload, such as a document or image
Field Use for
HTML Custom static markup between fields, such as an intro paragraph
Divider A visual separator to group sections of a long form

Any input can map to a contact field so the value is stored where you can use it:

  • Map Email to the contact email (required for a usable contact).
  • Map name inputs to first and last name.
  • Map anything else to a custom field by key.

Mapped values become available for segmentation and for personalization in later emails. For example, a mapped company field can be greeted with {{contact.meta.company}}.

Mark a field as required to block submission until it is filled. Email fields validate address format automatically. Keep required fields to a minimum, because each one reduces completion.
