GoHighLevel Form Builder creates custom contact forms, lead-capture pages, surveys, and quizzes that integrate directly with your CRM, without third-party plugins or integrations. This drag-and-drop tool lets you build professional data collection forms in minutes, embed them on websites, funnels, or landing pages, and automatically trigger workflows based on submissions.
With conditional logic, payment collection, SMS verification, and sticky contact features, the form builder transforms simple data capture into an intelligent lead qualification system that automatically nurtures prospects.
Drag-and-Drop Form Creation
The visual form editor provides intuitive controls for building forms without code or technical knowledge. Access the builder by navigating to Sites, then Forms, and clicking Create New Form.
Standard Field Elements include complete name fields, email addresses with validation, phone numbers with formatting, text areas for messages or comments, dropdown menus for selections, checkboxes for multiple choices, radio buttons for single selections, date pickers for scheduling, file upload buttons, and address fields with auto-complete.
Each field automatically connects to the corresponding CRM field, ensuring that captured data populates contact records accurately.
Custom Field Creation captures unique business information beyond standard fields. Create custom fields for budget ranges, project timelines, service interests, company sizes, or any data point relevant to your qualification process.
The Quick Add Custom Fields feature lets you drag custom fields directly into forms, eliminating the need to navigate modal windows and significantly accelerating form creation.
Three Layout Options accommodate different design preferences. Single Column Layout arranges fields vertically for a traditional form appearance. Two-column layout places fields side-by-side, creating compact, balanced forms.
Field Width Customization sets individual field widths as percentages of the total form width. Create visually balanced layouts where name fields occupy 50% width while email fields take the remaining 50%, or design complex arrangements with varying field proportions.
This responsive percentage-based approach ensures forms scale appropriately across devices.
Enhanced Form Capabilities
Beyond basic data collection, GoHighLevel forms include sophisticated features transforming them into comprehensive lead management tools.
Conditional Logic shows or hides fields based on previous responses. If prospects select “interested in consulting” from a service dropdown, additional fields appear asking about budget and timeline. If they choose “not interested,” those fields remain hidden.
This dynamic behavior reduces form length for irrelevant paths while gathering detailed information when appropriate, improving completion rates while maintaining data quality.
SMS Verification confirms phone number authenticity before form submission. When enabled, prospects receive verification codes via text that they enter to complete forms. This feature reduces fake submissions, ensures accurate phone numbers for follow-up, and dramatically improves contact database quality.
Math Calculations perform real-time computations within forms. Create pricing calculators, ROI estimators, or score tallies that update automatically as prospects input values.
For example, a mortgage calculator form computes monthly payments based on entered loan amounts and interest rates, providing immediate value to prospects while capturing qualification data.
Payment Integration collects money directly through forms. Connect Stripe or PayPal, add product selection fields, and enable payment processing. Prospects complete forms and pay simultaneously, streamlining e-commerce, event registrations, or service bookings.
Manual payment options allow you to mark payments as “to be collected offline” while still processing orders through the system.
Email Validation verifies email address formats and existence before submission. The system checks that emails follow proper syntax, domain names resolve correctly, and addresses likely exist. This validation reduces typos and fake email addresses, improving deliverability for follow-up campaigns.
Sticky Contacts remembers form information across your domain using browser cookies. When prospects complete one form, subsequent forms on the same domain pre-populate with saved information.
Auto-Complete Address uses Google Places API for location fields. As users type addresses, dropdown suggestions appear. Selecting an address automatically fills street, city, state, and postal code fields, ensuring address accuracy while reducing typing.
Form Templates and Pre-Built Options
The template library provides starting points for common form types, accelerating creation and ensuring conversion best practices.
Contact Forms capture basic prospect information with name, email, phone, and message fields. These general-purpose forms are suitable for website contact pages, support inquiries, or information requests.
Lead Capture Forms focus on minimal friction, collecting just email addresses or email plus name. Optimized for top-of-funnel lead magnets like ebook downloads or webinar registrations, where excessive fields reduce conversion rates.
Registration Forms gather comprehensive attendee information for events, webinars, or courses. Include fields for dietary restrictions, t-shirt sizes, emergency contacts, or any event-specific data.
Survey Forms collect feedback, opinions, or preferences. Utilize rating scales, multiple-choice questions, and open-ended responses. Conditional logic branches questions based on previous answers, creating personalized survey experiences.
Quiz Forms engage prospects while qualifying them. Create scored quizzes where responses generate totals displayed after submission. For example, a “What’s Your Marketing Maturity?” quiz scores responses and segments contacts based on results.
Order Forms for product purchases include product selection, quantity fields, payment integration, and shipping information. Handle both physical and digital product sales directly through forms.
Styling and Branding
Forms adapt to match your brand identity through comprehensive styling controls accessible in the Styles tab.
Color Customization adjusts the background, text, button, border, and field background colors. Match forms precisely to website aesthetics or brand guidelines, maintaining visual consistency across all customer touchpoints.
Typography Control selects from numerous font families, adjusts font sizes, sets font weights from light to bold, and modifies line spacing. These options ensure readability while maintaining brand voice through consistent typography.
Spacing and Layout configures padding inside elements, margins between elements, border thickness and styles, and corner radius for rounded edges. These subtle adjustments significantly impact visual polish and professional appearance.
Mobile Responsiveness introduced enhanced control. Set unique styles for desktop and mobile separately. Mobile changes no longer overwrite desktop settings, enabling optimized experiences for each device type. Customize mobile messages with shorter headlines, adjust mobile padding for thumb-friendly tap targets, and modify mobile font sizes for small screens.
Full Width Toggle makes forms span the entire container width, ideal for dedicated landing pages. Disable for fixed-width forms suitable for sidebar placements or multi-column layouts.
Form Actions and Automation
Form submissions trigger automated actions, transforming static forms into dynamic marketing systems.
Thank You Messages display immediately after submission, confirming successful form completion. Customize messages per form to provide specific next steps, expected response times, or additional resources.
Redirect URLs send prospects to specific pages after submission. Direct them to thank-you pages with additional offers, video content, calendar booking, or exclusive member areas. This strategic redirection continues customer journeys beyond simple data capture.
Workflow Triggers launch multi-step automation sequences. Form submissions automatically send confirmation emails, apply contact tags for segmentation, create opportunities in sales pipelines, assign leads to team members, schedule follow-up tasks, and trigger SMS sequences. These automated responses ensure immediate engagement without manual intervention.
Webhook Integration sends form data to external applications in real-time. Connect forms to Zapier for integrations beyond GoHighLevel’s native capabilities, sync data to Google Sheets for analysis, or trigger custom applications built on your infrastructure.
Notification Settings alert team members about new submissions. Configure email notifications to send to sales teams, specific department contacts, or rotating staff based on schedules. Customize notification content to include all submitted data, timestamps, and source information.
Embedding and Distribution
Forms deploy across multiple channels, maximizing lead capture opportunities throughout customer journeys.
Website Embedding uses iframe or JavaScript code. Copy the provided embed code, paste it into the website HTML, and forms appear seamlessly on web pages. Forms inherit styling while transparently connecting to GoHighLevel functionality.
Funnel Integration places forms directly within funnel pages using the elements menu. Select Forms from the available elements, choose the desired forms from the dropdowns, and position them anywhere on pages.
Popup Forms display dynamically in response to triggers. Configure pop-ups to appear on page load, after time delays, on exit intent when visitors move to leave, after scrolling to specific percentages, or on button clicks. Popup forms capture attention strategically without disrupting initial page experiences.
Direct Links provide standalone URLs for forms. Share links in email campaigns, social media posts, SMS messages, or QR codes for offline materials. Direct links suit situations where embedding isn’t feasible or when dedicated form pages create cleaner experiences.
Multi-Step Forms break long forms into sequential steps, reducing perceived complexity and improving completion rates. Each step captures specific information categories, progressing prospects through manageable segments rather than overwhelming them with dozens of fields simultaneously.
Analytics and Submission Management
The Analytics tab provides insights into form performance, revealing conversion patterns and optimization opportunities.
Submission Volume Tracking charts form completions over time. Identify trends showing increasing or decreasing submission rates, seasonal patterns affecting lead volume, and sudden changes requiring investigation.
Conversion Rate Analysis calculates the percentage of form views that result in submissions. Low conversion rates signal issues with form length, field requirements, trust indicators, or page placement requiring attention.
Source Attribution reveals which traffic sources drive most form submissions. Track whether submissions originate from organic search, paid advertising, social media, email campaigns, or direct traffic. This intelligence informs marketing budget allocation toward the highest-performing channels.
Field Completion Rates show which fields prospects abandon most frequently. If 40% of users drop off at the phone number field, consider making it optional or adding trust language explaining why you need it. These granular insights guide efforts to reduce friction.
Submissions Dashboard consolidates all form data in searchable, filterable tables. Export submissions to CSV files for deeper analysis, integration with external systems, or offline processing. Search submissions by name, email, phone number, or contact ID for quick reference.
Advanced Features
Sophisticated capabilities extend form functionality beyond basic data capture.
A/B Testing compares form variations. Create multiple versions testing different headlines, field orders, button colors, or copy. The split testing reveals which variations convert best, enabling data-driven optimization rather than guesswork.
Form Abandonment Tracking identifies prospects who start but don’t complete forms. Trigger workflows sending follow-up emails offering assistance, providing alternative contact methods, or addressing common concerns preventing completion. This systematic recovery converts prospects who would otherwise disappear entirely.
Progressive Profiling remembers previously collected information. When known contacts encounter forms, hide fields that contain existing data and ask only for new information. This intelligent data collection reduces redundancy while progressively enriching contact records over time.
CAPTCHA Integration prevents spam submissions from bots. Enable Google reCAPTCHA v2 or v3, protecting forms from automated abuse while maintaining user experience for legitimate prospects. This security is essential for high-traffic forms that attract spam attention.
Terms and Conditions require explicit consent before submission. Add legal disclaimers, privacy policy acceptance, or marketing opt-ins.
