Creating Forms From a Template

Form templates can save you significant time and effort. After you create one form with satisfactory branding, layout, and response settings, save it as a template to skip those steps in the future.

Save a Template

1. In Content > Forms, open the form that you are working on (or start a new one).
   
   
2. Decide what elements you want to keep standard across the forms you create in Act-On
   • Eg., Header, footer, fields, text blocks, links
     
     
3. Create a form that includes only those elements (or remove all other blocks except these).
   
   
4. Next to Save, click the down arrow and select Create a Template.
   
   
5. Choose the template Save To Folder and whether to Include Response Settings.
   
   
6. Click Save.
