Create a custom submission form for your campaign
In your campaigns, whether it's a viral sweepstakes or a photo contest, you have the flexibility to create custom forms to gather specific information from participants. These custom fields can be tailored to suit your business needs, providing valuable data for your sales and marketing teams. Here's how to create custom forms for your campaigns:
1. **Accessing Submission Form Settings**: Navigate to the submission form section of the campaign settings. Instead of choosing the default form, click on the "Edit" button to customize the form. You can also create a new form from scratch if necessary.
2. **Default Fields**: By default, the form may include fields like email (required), first name, and last name (optional). These fields are already part of your database, so you don't need to create them anew.
3. **Adding Additional Fields**: To add more fields, simply drag and drop them from the left panel to the desired location on the form. Common additional fields include address, zip code, state, and phone number.
4. **Custom Field Types**: Explore various custom field types available, such as:
- **Section Heading**: Use to organize form sections. You can customize the font size, font family, and style.
- **Text Input**: For single-line text input, useful for fields like mobile number.
- **Text Area**: Provides a larger text box for multiple lines of input, suitable for open-ended questions.
- **Multi-select**: Allows users to select multiple options from a list.
- **Checkbox**: For yes/no questions or single-choice options.
- **Radio Buttons**: Similar to checkboxes, but users can only select one option.
- **Drop-down**: Presents options in a drop-down menu format.
- **Date Selection**: Enables users to pick a date from a calendar.
- **Star Rating**: Lets users rate their experience using a star rating system.
5. **Hidden Fields**: These fields are not visible to users but can capture data passed through parameters in campaign links. Useful for tracking traffic sources or other hidden information.
6. **Customizing Field Properties**: Configure field properties such as required status, default values, and validation rules as needed.
7. **Form Organization**: Arrange fields and sections in the desired order by dragging them within the form.
8. **Form Naming**: Give your custom form a distinct name to differentiate it from default forms. You can also set it as the default form for future campaigns if desired.
9. **Preview and Save**: Before finalizing your form, preview it to ensure everything looks as intended. Once satisfied, save the form settings.
By creating custom forms tailored to your campaign's objectives, you can gather specific information from participants, enhancing the effectiveness of your marketing efforts and providing a personalized experience for your audience.
