Form Block

Overview

A form with several fields and an upload section that capture information from a user having a web site issue.

The Form block works with the Gravity Forms plugin. It allows you to embed a Gravity Form on a page.

The block allows you to select which Gravity Form you would like to embed and whether you would like to display the form’s title and/or description. To build a form, navigate to the left-hand menu and choose “Forms.”

Alternative Options

A Google Form can also be a good option for building forms. Generally speaking, using a Google Form will require your users to visit another page that isn’t part of your website. This is fine for many types of forms, but it may not be ideal for frequently used, higher-profile forms. Examples might include a form to request more information about a program or to RSVP for a major alumni event.

More highly styled blocks are available to collect email signups and to encourage online gifts. These blocks are specially designed for these use cases and are generally a better option than a standard Form block.
