Reorder with Drag & Drop

Field Name Rules

The internal field name is used to identify submissions. It auto-formats as you type:

Automatically converted to lowercase

Spaces are replaced with underscores

Each field name must be unique across the form

Examples: "name", "email", "company_name", "project_budget"

Tips

Keep forms short — 3-5 fields convert better than 10+ fields

Always include Name and Email as required fields for follow-up

Use the Message/Address type for open-ended questions

Use the URL type for collecting portfolio links or social profiles

Order fields logically — Name first, then Email, then your custom fields

Descriptive placeholders help visitors understand what to enter
