Create a simple form
A simple form is a form without payment: free registration, survey, contact request, certificate, census. It's the quickest setup.
When to use a simple form?β
| Use case | Concrete example |
|---|---|
| Free registration | Registration for Thursday evening Talmud class |
| Survey | Survey on service times |
| Contact request | "Write to us" form |
| Certificate | Request for Talmud Torah enrollment certificate |
| Census | Update of community contact details |
For any form involving collection, see Create a paid form.
Before you startβ
You will need:
- A clear title for the form (visible to visitors)
- Ideally a custom URL (slug) β for example
talmud-class-registration - The list of information to ask the visitor
- The
formpermission in Unisoft
The modal wizardβ
When you click Create a Form from the list, a fullscreen modal wizard opens. It chains several tabs that you go through with the Previous and Continue buttons (or Validate on the last tab). You can also directly click on a tab to jump to it.
| Tab | What it's for |
|---|---|
| Required | Form name and editor choice |
| Website | Custom URL, SEO, integration |
| Payment & Confirmations | Payment activation (to leave disabled for a simple form) and validation options |
| CRM | Identity level, relations, auto-assigned categories |
| Products | Always present β only useful if you enable payment (otherwise leave empty) |
| Additional Modules | Visible only if you chose the simplified editor β design (poster) and first skeleton of fields |
| Management | Internal options: label visible only to you, accounting booklet, auto expiration, custom statuses |
| After Form | Confirmation emails, redirection after submission |

Payment & Confirmations tab

Additional Modules tab (simplified editor only)
If you chose the simplified editor in the Required step, this tab offers:
- Poster: top-of-page image (optional)
- A first field skeleton that you can then complete from the form profile with Edit Form Content

Click Continue.

Management tab
Options for your own tracking:
- Label: name visible only to you (useful if the public title is long)
- Description: internal note
- Booklet: accounting account from the Budget to attach this form to (optional for forms without payment)
- Automatically Expires on: auto-disable date and time (useful for closing a survey)

After Form tab
Configure what happens after a submission:
- Do not send submission email: check if you want no email after a response
- Additional email after submission: choose an email template to send in addition to the standard message
- Do not send validation email and Additional email after validation: equivalent for the validation step
- Redirect user to a specific URL at the end of the form: external URL the visitor is redirected to after submission
Click Validate to create the form.
Compose the contentβ
Once the form is saved, you arrive (or can return) on its detail profile (/app/form/fiche?id=...). In the profile's sub-header, two edit buttons:
- Edit Form Content: opens the editor (simplified or advanced depending on your choice in the Required tab)
- Edit Form Configuration: re-opens the modal wizard to adjust the previous tabs
See Available fields for the detail of fields offered by the simplified editor, and Simplified vs advanced editor to compare.
Enable and shareβ
By default, your form is Enabled at creation. To share it:
- Retrieve the URL and QR code via the Page link button on the profile (or Quick Link from the list)
- Distribute by email, WhatsApp or poster
- Track responses in the submissions view (View Submissions button) β see Manage submissions
Special casesβ
Form with slot selectionβ
If your form offers a choice of times or dates, link it to a slot calendar. See Calendars and slots.
Child registrationβ
For a form where a parent registers their children, add a Child Field in the simplified editor. The visitor can fill in one or more children in a single submission. See Available fields.
Reuse between formsβ
If several forms share the same information (for example: "Honor statement" block), create a Block Form and include it via the Block Form field of the simplified editor. See Block Forms.
Best practicesβ
- Short and clear title: it will be read on mobile, on the QR code poster and in the email
- Slug in kebab-case:
course-registration-2026rather thanCourseRegistration2026 - Ask for the minimum: each added field reduces the response rate
- Test in private mode: open the public URL in another browser before distribution
- Prepare a confirmation email template: confirmation reassures the visitor
