Building Forms in GoHighLevel

Setting Up Your Form Design

Forms help you collect important data from your website visitors. The form builder sits in the Sites area. Click Forms and Create New Form to start.

The drag-and-drop interface makes form creation simple. Pick elements from the right side menu and place them where you want them on your form. Common fields like name and email take just seconds to add.

Each form element has settings you can adjust. Click any element to change its properties. For buttons, you can pick the text, alignment, colors, size, and spacing. Key customization options include:

• Form colors and text styles
• Logo placement
• Button designs
• Field layouts
• Spacing between elements

After submission, your form can show a message or send visitors to another webpage. You can also connect Meta Pixel for tracking, with 18 different event options ready to use.

Making Forms Work For You

Create custom fields when standard options don’t meet your needs. You can add:

• Text boxes
• Number fields
• Dropdown menus
• File upload areas
• Digital signature spots
• Custom checkboxes

Your custom fields are saved for future use. Find them in the Custom Fields tab to use again.

GDPR Compliance Tips:

1. Add checkbox fields for consent
2. Write clear permission text
3. Keep records of consent

Note: Check your local data protection rules to meet legal requirements.

Using Smart Form Features

URL parameters let forms send data to your GoHighLevel account. Each form field needs a query key to work properly.

Standard fields come with preset query keys. For custom fields, GoHighLevel suggests a key name, but you can change it.

The system sends form responses straight to your Contacts tab. Every field maps to the right spot in your contact records.

Quick Form Building Steps:

1. Pick your form elements
2. Set up query keys
3. Test the form
4. Check data in Contacts

Your forms can now collect and organize visitor information automatically. This saves time and keeps your contact data clean.

How to Create a Form with a GoHighLevel Calendar

Adding a calendar to your GoHighLevel form takes just a few steps. Go to your Settings menu and select Calendars. Look for the Calendar Code button in the top-left area of your screen.

Pick the calendar you want to display on your form. You’ll see some red text labeled Embed Code with HTML inside.

Copy the HTML code to your clipboard. Go back to your form editor and find the HTML element in the standard field options. Drag this element onto your form where you want the calendar to appear.

Select the HTML element on your form and paste the code you copied earlier. Your calendar will display right on the form. When someone books an appointment through this form, it will show up in your GoHighLevel calendar automatically.

What Are Contact Memory Tools?

Contact memory tools help web forms remember visitor information. When someone fills out a form, their details get saved in their browser. 

The next time they visit another form on the same website, their information shows up automatically. This saves time and makes filling out forms easier.

Setting Up Contact Memory in Forms

You can turn on contact memory in your form settings. Go to the form builder and look for the Options menu. Click the switch to activate contact memory. Your forms will now save visitor details for future use.

The memory tool works across different types of forms:

• Contact forms
• Registration pages
• Survey forms
• Booking calendars

When visitors come back, they’ll see their:

• Name
• Email
• Phone number
• Address

How to Put a GoHighLevel Form on Your Website

You can add GoHighLevel forms to any webpage in just a few steps. For sites built within GoHighLevel, simply open the page editor and click on the Forms element. Pick your form from the dropdown menu and place it where you want it on the page.

Adding forms to external websites needs a bit more work. First, open your form in the GoHighLevel form builder. Click the Integrate Form button in the bottom right corner to get the HTML code for your form.

Copy the provided code and paste it into your website’s HTML. Each website platform handles custom code differently, so check your platform’s documentation for specific instructions.

Some key parts of the form code include:

• Form submission settings
• Source field tracking
• Custom HTML elements
• JavaScript functionality
• Inline form styling
• Facebook Pixel ID integration

Make sure to test your form after adding it to ensure everything works correctly. The form should collect leads and send data back to your GoHighLevel account without any issues.

Managing Form Response Data

Form submissions appear in the main Contacts area sorted by contact name. Click any contact to see their form details. Look under the Additional Info section to find any custom form fields you added.

Using Google Sheets to Track Form Data

You can send all your form data straight to Google Sheets for easy viewing and analysis. Set up a Zapier connection between your forms and Google Sheets to move the data automatically. When someone fills out your form, the information goes right into your spreadsheet.

The automatic export saves you time since you won’t need to copy data manually. You can check form responses any time by opening your Google Sheet. This makes it simple to:

• Track all submissions in one place
• Sort and filter responses
