How to Use Form Templates to Build Forms Faster

Every new FormRobin account starts with 8 ready-made template forms in My first folder. Open one from Forms, click Edit, and adapt it.

What Are Form Templates?

Templates are complete forms for common jobs — contact, registration, feedback and more — with the questions, question types and required answers already set. They are normal forms in your account: edit, duplicate, move or delete them like any other form.

Prerequisites

• Plan: both plans, Free Plan and Individual Plan
• Account: the templates are added automatically when you sign up

Where are my template forms?

When you create your account, FormRobin adds the 8 templates to My first folder. They are already published, so each has a working link.

1. Click Forms in the top navigation.
2. Open My first folder.
3. Find the template you want, for example Contact Us.

If you have renamed, moved or deleted a template, it stays that way; templates are not added again later.

How do I use a template?

1. On the Forms page, open My first folder and find the template.

   

2. Click the ⋮ (More) menu on its row and choose Edit (clicking the row itself opens its responses).
3. Change the questions, design and settings you need.
4. Click Save (or press Ctrl/Cmd+S).

Tip: To keep the original template, first choose Duplicate from its ⋮ menu and edit the copy (see Duplicating Forms).

How do I customize a template?

Edit Existing Questions

• Click a question's text or description to change it
• Change the placeholder text of Short answer, Long answer and Email questions
• Click the asterisk next to a question to make it required or optional

Add or Remove Questions

• Click + (Add a new question) and pick one of the 13 question types
• Delete a question with the trash icon (Delete question)
• Drag a question by its handle to reorder

Customize Styling

• Click Styles at the top of the editor to change colors, fonts and buttons (see Form Styling and Customization)

Configure Form Settings

• Click the submit button text to change it (for example "Send Message")
• Click Settings to switch Enable email notifications, Multi-page mode or Publish form, or to add a custom redirect (Individual Plan)
• Connect integrations such as SendFox or Google Sheets under your account Settings → Integrations

Should I use a template or a blank form?

Use a Template When:

• Your form matches a common use (contact, registration, feedback, orders)
• You want a quick start with sensible questions and required settings

Use a Blank Form When:

• Your form is specialized and no template is close
• You prefer to build every question yourself

To start blank, click New form on the Forms page and choose Start from scratch.

Template Customization Best Practices

• Review every question - remove the ones you do not need
• Use your own wording - match your brand's voice
• Require only essentials - fewer required questions, more completions
• Test before sharing - submit a response on the live form

Working with Template Forms

• Yours to keep - template forms belong to your account
• Independent - changing one template does not affect the others
• Already published - each has a live link from the start; switch Publish form off in Settings if you do not want it online
• Editable any time - even after it receives responses

Troubleshooting

I don't see any template forms

• Look in My first folder on the Forms page.
• Templates are added once, when the account is created; renamed, moved or deleted templates are not restored. Start from a blank form with New form instead (see Creating Your First Form Manually).

Clicking a template opens its responses, not the editor

• Clicking a form's row opens its Sessions page (see Viewing and Managing Form Responses). To open the editor, click the ⋮ (More) menu on the row and choose Edit.

The template has questions I don't need

• Delete them with the trash icon on each question, then click Save.

Still stuck? Email support@formrobin.com with the template's name and what you expected to see.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are templates available on the Free Plan?

Yes. Every new account gets the same 8 templates, on both plans.

What is the difference between a template form and a regular form?

None. A template form is a regular form that was created for you; it works exactly like forms you build yourself.

Can I create my own templates?

There is no separate template feature, but you can keep a master form and use Duplicate to reuse it.

Do templates include integrations?

No. Templates contain questions and design only. Connect integrations such as SendFox or Google Sheets yourself.
