Conversational forms that display one question at a time.

​
What are Orbit Flows?

Orbit Flows transform your forms into a conversational experience. Instead of showing all questions at once, users see one question at a time and progress through the form step by step.

​
Why Use Orbit Flows?

  • Higher Completion Rates — By showing one question at a time, users feel less overwhelmed and are more likely to complete the form.
  • Keyboard-First Navigation — Users press Enter to submit an answer and move to the next question, and can use the arrow keys to navigate dropdown options.
  • Engaging Experience — The conversational format feels more personal and engaging, like a real conversation rather than filling out a boring form.

​
Creating an Orbit Flow

1

Navigate to Forms

Go to Forms → Create Form
2

Select Flow

Select Flow as the form type
3

Add fields

Add your fields — they’ll automatically display one at a time
Sharing Any Form as a FlowThe form type is set at creation and can’t be changed, but every form — even a Standard one — can be viewed in the flow layout by adding /flow to its public URL (e.g., orbitforms.ai/r/{team-id}/your-form/flow). This makes it easy to share a conversational version without rebuilding anything.

​
Keyboard & Scroll Navigation

Orbit Flows are designed for fast navigation:
On Long Text fields, Enter inserts a new line instead of advancing — users click the OK button to move on.

​
Show a Scheduler After Submission

Flow forms can end with a meeting scheduler instead of a thank-you page or redirect. The scheduler appears right on the final screen of the flow — respondents pick a time without ever leaving the form.
1

Open After Submission

In the flow form editor, go to the After Submission tab
2

Choose Scheduler

Select Scheduler as what happens after submission
3

Pick a scheduling page

Choose one of your scheduling pages from the dropdown
4

Preview

Click Preview thank you screen to see the end of the flow exactly as respondents will
Answers from your form’s Name and Email contact fields are prefilled into the booking, so respondents never type them twice. Lead capture scheduling pages skip their lead form entirely — your flow form already captured that information — and go straight to the calendar (any extra custom fields on the page are asked once, in the booking step).
Good to know
  • The scheduling page must be published for respondents to see it — otherwise the regular thank-you page is shown. Draft pages do appear in form previews so you can verify the setup first.
  • Showing a scheduler after submission is available on paid plans. Group and round robin page types additionally require Business or above.
  • If a conditional routing rule matches a submission, its redirect takes priority over the scheduler.
  • Works in embedded forms too, including popups — the embed stays open until the booking is complete.

​
Best Practices

  • Keep questions short and clear — Each question should be easy to understand at a glance
  • Start with easy questions — Begin with simple questions like name and email to build momentum
  • Limit total questions — Aim for 5-10 questions maximum to maintain engagement
  • Use helpful placeholders — Show example answers to help users understand what’s expected
  • Show progress — The progress indicator helps users know how far they are
