Forms
Forms are structured surveys with typed questions. Unlike rooms (which use an emoji + comment flow), forms let you build multi-step questionnaires with ratings, scales, dropdowns, image choices, and more.
When to use a form vs a room
| Use a Room when… | Use a Form when… |
|---|---|
| You want quick, high-volume emoji feedback | You need structured, multi-question data |
| Respondents are non-technical or time-poor | You're running a detailed survey or evaluation |
| You want recurring feedback on a topic | You need different question types per question |
| Low friction is critical | Data quality and specificity matter most |

Creating a form with the AI Assistant
Describe the form you need and the assistant generates it in seconds:
"Create a two-page course evaluation form. Page 1: overall star rating, pace dropdown, and a difficulty scale (1–5). Page 2: instructor star rating, teaching methods checkboxes, and a comments field."
You can also tell the AI to tailor the form for a specific room:
"Create a feedback form for the Documentation room with questions about clarity, accuracy, and missing content."
The AI will generate all questions, labels, descriptions, and form settings matched to your context. The form opens directly in the builder so you can review and refine it.
Form settings
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Active | Toggle to accept or pause submissions |
| Multi-page | Split questions across up to 4 pages |
| Progress bar | Show page progress at the top of the form |
| Submit button text | Customize the final submit button label |
| Success message | Message shown after a successful submission |
Sharing a form
Every form gets a unique public URL based on its slug. Share it directly or embed it. Respondents don't need an account.
From the Forms list:
- Copy link — the public submission URL
- Clone — duplicate the form with a new slug (useful for reusing question sets)
