Updated over 2 months ago

Install Formulayt on your website

Add the Formulayt script to every page where you plan to deploy form gates. This is the first critical step for enabling forms on your site.

Set up form fields

Your account starts with default fields or none at all. Create custom fields to collect the exact information you need from users.

  1. Review existing fields in your account

  2. Create new fields based on your data collection needs

  3. Modify field properties and validation rules

Create form templates

Form types serve as templates for your gate editors. Build these templates using your configured fields to ensure consistency across your forms.

  1. Navigate to the Form Types section

  2. Create templates for different use cases

  3. Add your fields to each template

Set up data integrations

Connect Formulayt to your data platforms to receive form submissions. Options include Marketing Automation Platforms, CRMs, or integration via Zapier.

  1. Access the Formulayt Apps area

  2. Select and activate your preferred integration

  3. Configure connection settings following the step-by-step instructions

Customize form styling

Adjust the appearance of your forms to match your brand's visual identity. Style customization is available in the manage styles area.

Important: CSS/SASS proficiency is required for style customization. Contact your account manager about professional services if you need assistance.

Deploy your first form gate

Now that you've configured the essential elements, you're ready to create and deploy your first gate.

Requirements before deployment:

  • Formulayt script installed on the page

  • Marketing automation tracking script on the page

  • Form template created

Enable form field prepopulation

Improve user experience by pre-filling form fields with existing data. This significantly increases completion rates and form optimization.

  1. Access the manage fields area

  2. Select the prepopulation dropdown field

  3. Choose your data source for prepopulation

Configure analytics events

Track user interactions with your forms by setting up custom JavaScript events. These can connect to tag managers or analytics platforms.

Important: JavaScript proficiency is required. Contact your account manager about professional services if you need assistance.

Organize your gates with folders

Create a logical folder structure to organize your gates. Plan your hierarchy and naming conventions in advance to:

  • Find gates more easily

  • Restrict access to specific folders using manager groups

  • Maintain order as your form library grows

Add user accounts

Create accounts for your team members to access Formulayt with appropriate permissions.

Install the Chrome extension

The Formulayt Google Chrome extension helps editors and administrators:

  • Detect gates on a page

  • Troubleshoot issues

  • Preview changes on live web pages
