Forms
Forms let you collect structured input from people and use it to start a flow. Use them for intake, requests, approvals, or surveys.
How forms work
A form is backed by a Form trigger on a flow. When someone submits the form, the flow runs with the answers available as trigger data.
- Add the Forms trigger to your flow.
- Define the fields you want to collect.
- Publish the flow — Flobyte gives you a hosted, shareable form URL.
- Every submission triggers a run.
Field types
| Type | Use it for |
|---|---|
| Short / long text | Names, notes, descriptions |
| Number | Quantities, amounts |
| Dropdown / multi-select | Fixed sets of options |
| Date | Scheduling, deadlines |
| File | Uploads and attachments |
| Toggle | Yes/no consent and flags |
Common patterns
- Intake → CRM: a request form creates a contact and a deal, then notifies the owner.
- Approvals: a form gathers a request, and a later step gates it behind a human approval.
- Support: a form opens a ticket and drafts a reply from your knowledge base.
A form is just a trigger — everything you can do in a flow (connectors, functions, branching, approvals) works on the data it collects.
