From the dropdown under Library, click on Forms to view existing forms or create a new one.

- Define Basic Form Details
Start by selecting the Form Type and giving your form a meaningful Name.
Use the Trigger Instruction field to define a phrase or keyword that, when mentioned by the user during a conversation, will automatically trigger this form.
Choose a label for the Submit Button (e.g., “Send”, “Submit”, “Done”).
- Add a Text Field to Capture User Name
To create a field that captures the user’s name, select Text as the field type and fill in the following:
- Name: Used internally to identify the field. Avoid spaces. Use formats like
FullName or full_name.
- Description: A short helper text to guide the user on what to enter in this field.
- Label: This is the visible field name on the form. You can use spaces here, like Full Name, for better readability.
- Required: Enable this checkbox if you want to make this field mandatory for form submission.
After filling in these details, click Add Field to include it in the form.

- Label: The visible field name shown to users (e.g., Phone Number).
- Required: Check this box if the phone number must be provided before form submission.
