Modifying Form Settings

Create or edit a form to modify its Settings. The Settings tab allows you to control your form's name, security features, submission behavior, and more.

1. Click the Settings tab.
2. Change the form's name in the Form Name section.
3. Modify form embed code content in the Embed Code section.
   
   
   
   
4. Choose a reCAPTCHA setting.
   
   Note: reCAPTCHA is a Google service that protects forms from spam and abuse by distinguishing between human users and malicious bots. You have three options:

   • No reCAPTCHA: Leave both toggles off to disable reCAPTCHA. This is not recommended, as it leaves your form vulnerable to spam.

   • Invisible reCAPTCHA (recommended): This option enables background security checks. It operates invisibly for most users and will only challenge the most suspicious traffic, minimizing user friction while preventing abuse. When using the option, the ‘Forced reCAPTCHA’ toggle will automatically be set to off.

   • Forced reCAPTCHA: Toggle this option on to require everyone filling out your form to solve a reCAPTCHA challenge before submitting. Use this for forms that experience high volumes of spam, but be aware that it can increase user friction. 

      

5. Toggle the switch in the Require Business Email Address section to block users who have free email providers from submitting the form.
6. Adjust Thank You page settings in the Thank You Page section to define what users see after a successful submission. You can redirect them to a specific URL or display a custom message.
7. Set an auto-responder email in the Auto-Responder section to create or select an email to be sent automatically to users immediately after they submit the form.
   
   
   
   
8. Adjust information settings and actions in the Lead Status and Postback Data sections.

   1. Lead Status - Give visitors who fill out this form a lead status. Check the box labeled 'Send contact an email to explicitly opt-in to receive emails'. This sends a confirmation email that contacts must click to verify their subscription.

   2. Postback Data — If you need to send form data to a third-party service, enter the destination URL in this field.
      
      

9. Choose the display language for default form fields by selecting one of the following in the Form Language section:
   

    

   English Spanish French Italian German

   Dutch Portuguese Romanian Turkish Slovak

   
   
   
10. View the pages that have collected form leads in the Pages Detected section.
    
    Note: This section displays a list of web pages where your form has been detected and has captured leads. This is a read-only field for your reference.
