Creating A Form

You have your own Submit.com domain and you’re ready to start building your application form, but where do you start? 

Creating a form is quick and easy with our platform! You can create a new form in two ways. 

On the Admin Dashboard, you can create a new form by clicking on the “+ Create” button in the 'Form' overview block or by clicking “Create Form” on the sidebar navigation panel. 

Enter the name of your application which you are setting up. If you already have a form made within your domain, you can use pre-existing forms as a template when building your form. You can also choose what email setting you want to include. You can check what events you would like to send an automatic email for. These settings can be changed in the ‘Email Templates’.

• Draft saved - Receive an email when a draft application is created.
• Application completed - Receive  an email when an application has been completed.
• Message received - Receive an email to the applicant when an application is invited.
• Application re-activated - Receive an email when an application has been re-activated.
