Set Contact Fields in Forms on Geta.ai
What are Contact Fields in Forms?
Contact fields in Geta.ai Forms allow you to map user input directly to stored contact properties. By assigning these fields to a grid layout, you can collect and organize user data effectively, such as Name, Email, Phone Number, and Location.
Steps to Set Contact Fields in Forms
1. Access the Forms Module
- Log in to Geta.ai.
- Navigate to the Forms module.
- Click Create Form to start a new form or Edit an existing one.
2. Select a Grid Layout
- In the Form Builder, choose a Grid Layout (Single Row, 2 Column, 3 Column) based on the data you want to collect.
3. Add Contact Fields to the Form
- Locate the Contact Fields section.
- Drag and drop the required contact property into a specific grid.
- Example:
- Single Row Grid → Drag and drop Name field.
- 2 Column Grid → Add Name and Email ID fields.
- 3 Column Grid → Add Country, State, and City fields.
4. Configure Field Settings
- Click on the Pen Icon ✏️ after applying the contact field to a grid.
- Customize the field settings:
- ✅ Mark it as required — make sure users don’t skip it
- 👻 Make it a hidden field — useful for internal tracking
- 📌 Set a default value — pre-fill it with something handy
- 💬 Add a placeholder — like 'Enter your email address' for guidance
- 🎨 Add a Class Name — for applying custom CSS styles in the Style & Preview section
- 🆔 Add an ID Name — perfect for targeting this field with unique CSS or JavaScript in the Style & Preview section
✅ Example:
If you have a Single Row Grid and drag the Name field into it:
- Click the Pen Icon and set a placeholder value "Enter Your Name".
- When a user fills in the form, the input will be stored in the contact module under the Name property.
5. Save and Publish the Form
- Click Save to store the changes.
- Click Publish to make the form live on your website or platform.
