​
Advanced shared elements

Add a signature field to a form or survey for e-signature capture. Useful for consent forms, service agreements, and onboarding documents.
Allow respondents to upload files directly in the form or survey. Useful for collecting portfolios, documents, or images. Uploaded files are stored in the contact’s record.
Add a checkbox with a custom terms and conditions message. The respondent must accept the terms before submitting. Required for compliance when collecting sensitive data.
Insert an image into the form or survey canvas. Use this to add logos, product photos, or instruction graphics between fields.
Add a scoring field that assigns a numeric value based on the respondent’s answer. Scores accumulate across multiple score elements and can be used to segment or qualify contacts.
Add a star or emoji rating scale. Commonly used for customer satisfaction surveys and NPS-style questions.
Add a structured address field with sub-fields for street, city, state, ZIP, and country. Maps directly to the contact’s address record.
Add static descriptive text to the form or survey canvas — used for instructions, section headers, or introductory copy between questions.

​
Advanced tab settings

Inside any form or survey, the Advanced tab controls:
  • Label and placeholder text for each field
  • Border and styling for individual form components
  • Required field toggle — mark fields as mandatory before submission
  • Hidden fields — pre-populate fields silently using URL parameters

​
Sticky contact

The Sticky Contact feature pre-fills form and survey fields for returning visitors using browser cookies. When a known visitor opens a form, their previously entered information is automatically filled in. To enable sticky contact:
  1. Open the form or survey builder.
  2. Switch to the Settings tab.
  3. Toggle Sticky Contact on.
  4. Click Save.
Sticky Contact uses browser cookies. Team members entering data for different contacts should use incognito mode or clear their browser cookies between entries to prevent overwriting one contact’s data with another’s.
