# Add forms and capture leads

Ask Buildy for the form you need and it builds it, saves every entry in **Contacts**, and can email you when someone fills it in.

## Steps

1. In chat, describe the form and the fields: "Add a contact form to the Contact page with name, email, phone and message. Email me at hello@example.com when someone sends it."
2. Check the form in **Preview**. Fill it in once yourself to test it.
3. Open **Contacts**. Your test entry is there with the source "Website".
4. Click **Publish & Share** to put the form live.

## Forms Buildy can build

- Contact and quote request forms
- Newsletter and waitlist signups
- Booking and appointment requests with date and time
- Multi-step forms and quizzes
- Order and application forms with file upload

Say what should happen after someone submits: show a thank-you message, send them to another page, email you, or add them to a follow-up.

## Where entries go

Every entry becomes a contact. Open **Contacts** to see them, filter by stage, add tags, export a CSV, or add people to a follow-up. See [Contacts](/docs/agents/contacts) and [Follow-ups](/docs/agents/follow-ups).

> [!TIP]
> Spam entries? Ask Buildy to "add spam protection to the contact form".

## Common problems

### I did not get the email

Check your spam folder. Then ask Buildy: "Check that the contact form sends an email to hello@example.com." Sending email uses Operating credits, so also check that you have some left in your profile menu.

### The form works in the preview but not on the live site

Publish again. The live site only updates when you click **Publish & Share**.
