Forms

Forms are the starting point of most Zoho Creator applications: they are how you collect data from users, whether that is customer details, an internal request or an inspection record. This section explains how the Form Builder works and how to put a form together.

What forms do

A Zoho Creator form is a digital version of a paper form or spreadsheet, made up of fields such as text boxes, dropdowns, checkboxes and file uploads. Once built, a form’s data can feed reports and trigger workflows elsewhere in your application.

What this section covers

The following articles explain how to use the Form Builder, including designing fields, configuring form level settings, and adding workflows so your forms do more than just collect data.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to know how to code to build a form in Zoho Creator?

Can a form in Zoho Creator trigger an automated action?

Yes. Form workflows can run actions before, on or after submission, such as sending an email or updating a record.
