Create a form
In this article, we explained why Touchdown regroups forms and landing pages allowing you to create both from the same menu item.
Form Types
Touchdown offers three different form types:
- Embedded in a Dedicated page:
- The form will appear in a landing page
- When you Save & Close you can select the domain name and copy the link with the landing page you just created that you can paste in your campaign, on social media, etc.
- Appear in a Pop-up:
- The form will appear on the website after a visitor stays for a few seconds
- You can determine how long the form will wait before appearing
- You can generate the script of the created form with the precise waiting time before the pop-up appears
- Embedded:
- The form will have an automatically generated script, HTML and CSS code that you can paste on your website
Note that the form creation is with the drag-and-drop builder for all the three cases. View this article for detailed possibilities with the drag-and-drop builder.
