🧠 What are Board Forms?

Board Forms are shareable forms that are connected to a specific Workspace board.

🤔 What happens when someone submits a Board Form?

  • The submission goes directly into your board.

  • Your form fields are mapped to your board’s properties, so responses stay structured and organized.

Before you begin, you may also want to check:


💡 Common ways teams use Board Forms

  • 🧑‍💼 New client intake Collect the details you always ask for (name, email, phone, needs) and automatically create a task for follow-up.

  • 🛠️ Support or internal requests Let teammates submit requests in a consistent format so you spend less time asking follow-up questions.

  • 📋 Project briefs and work orders Gather requirements upfront (deadline, priority, context) so tasks arrive clear and ready to assign.

  • 🏨 Surveys and feedback Capture feedback in a structured way so you can review and act on it without searching through messages.


🧭 How to create a Board Form (Workspace, Web/Desktop)

Open Forms from the board menu

  1. Open the board where you want the submissions to go.

  2. Click the three-dot menu ( ... ) in the board header.

  3. Select Forms.

  4. If this is your first form, a new form will open so you can start working immediately.

  5. If you already have other forms, click New Form to create another one.


🖼️ Add your form branding (logo and cover)

At the top of the form builder, you can add:

  • Logo image (optional)

  • Cover image (optional)

This step is not required but can help your form look familiar and professional for clients or teammates.


✍️ Add the form basics (name, description, task title)

  1. Add a Form name.

  2. Add a short description (optional).

  3. Set the Task title (required).

Tip: Use a clear task title so new submissions are easy to recognize on your board (for example: “New client request: {Full name}”).


🧩 Add fields to your form (drag and drop)

In the Content tab, you can add fields by dragging them into the form.

📌 Task properties

You can choose whether to include common task fields such as:

  • Due date

  • Start date

  • Note

  • Tags

  • Attachments

➕ Custom fields

You can also add Custom fields (for example: text, dropdown, rating, phone, email, location, and more). To learn all about custom fields see here.

Tip: If you do not see the field you need, create it first using Creating and Managing Custom Fields in Workspace Boards, then add it to your form.


👀 Preview your form

Use Preview to see what the form will look like for someone filling it out.

This helps you confirm:

  • The wording is clear

  • Required fields are set correctly

  • The form is quick and easy to complete


💾 Save vs. Publish (what’s the difference?)

  • Save stores your form as a draft so you can continue editing later.

  • Publish makes your form live and generates a shareable public link.


🔗 Publish and copy your public form link

  1. Click Publish.

  2. After publishing, you will see a blue public link.

  3. Copy the link and share it with clients, customers, or teammates.

Tip: This link can be shared anywhere. Anyone with the link can open the form and submit it.


⚙️ Manage form settings (section, confirmation message, link, expiration)

Open the form Settings tab to manage what happens after someone submits.

📌 Choose where new entries will go

Under New entries will go under, select the board section where new form submissions should appear.

💬 Add a confirmation message

Under Confirmation message, add a short message that people will see after they submit the form.

Example: “Thanks! We received your request and will get back to you soon.”

🔗 Copy the form link anytime

Under Link to form, you can copy the form URL again later.

⏳ Set an expiration time (optional)

Use Expiration time if you want the form to stop accepting submissions after a certain date.


🗑️ Delete or unpublish a form

From the Settings tab:

  • Use Unpublish to stop accepting new submissions (your link will no longer be active).

  • Use Delete form to permanently remove the form.


✅ What submitters will see

When someone opens your form link, they will see:

  • Your cover image and logo (if added)

  • Your form name and description

  • The fields you included

After they submit, they will see your confirmation message.


📥 What you will see on your board after submission

After someone submits a form:

  1. A new task is created in the section you selected.

  2. The task will include the answers (for example: tags, email, phone number, location).

  3. In the task Activity, you will see that it was Created from a form.
