Learn how to create, configure, and publish forms in Orbit AI.

Creating a New Form

To create a new form, navigate to the Forms page in your dashboard and click the Create Form button. You’ll be guided through the setup process.

Step 1: Choose a Form Type

Select between a Standard Form or an Orbit Flow: Standard Form All questions visible on one page. Best for detailed forms, applications, and when users need context from multiple fields at once. Orbit Flow One question at a time. Best for lead capture, surveys, and when you want higher completion rates with a conversational feel.

Step 2: Name Your Form

Give your form a name and optionally a custom slug. The slug determines your form’s URL:

Tip: Use Descriptive SlugsChoose slugs that describe your form’s purpose, like “contact-us” or “demo-request”. This improves SEO and makes links more trustworthy.

The Form Editor

The form editor is where you build and customize your forms. It consists of three main areas:
  • Field Panel (Left) — Add new fields to your form. Drag and drop to reorder. Click a field to edit its settings.
  • Preview (Center) — See a live preview of how your form will look to users. Changes update in real-time.
  • Settings Panel (Right) — Configure field properties, form settings, styling, and after-submission behavior.

Saving and Publishing

Your form is automatically saved as you make changes. To make it accessible to users, you need to publish it:
1

Click Publish

Click the Publish button in the top right corner of the editor
2

Confirm

Confirm that you’re ready to make the form live
3

Live

Your form is now accessible at its public URL
Unpublished ChangesIf you make changes to a published form, the live version won’t be affected until you publish again. This lets you test changes before they go live.

Form States

Forms can be in different states:
