# Send your first request

Send your published form to one person, with what you already know filled in. Try it on yourself first, then find the answers on the Requests page.

## Make a request and open it yourself

1. **Open the New request sheet**

   Open your published form and click **New request**, the paper plane icon at the top right of the form page.

2. **Fill it in**

   Under _Who is it for?_, type your own email and name. Under _What they see_, fill in answers you already know, and click **Lock** on any the recipient may only confirm.

3. **Click Try it yourself**

   At the bottom of the sheet, **Try it yourself** makes a [test request](https://formstep.io/docs/requests/creating-requests/#test-mode) and shows its link. A test request emails nobody and does not count toward your monthly allowance.

New request: who it is for, what they see, and Try it yourself at the bottom.

## Answer it as the recipient

Open the link and answer the form. It shows your theme, logo and language, and asks for no captcha or sign-in. When you submit, you see your thank-you page. A request is answered once, so opening the link again shows that it is done.

## Find the answers

Click **Requests** in the sidebar. Test requests are hidden, so open **Filter** and tick **Show test requests**. Click your request to see its answers and its timeline: created, opened, started and completed.

The Requests page: the list on the left, the open request on the right.

From the request you can copy the link, send a reminder, or cancel it. See [the Requests page](https://formstep.io/docs/requests/managing-requests/).

## Send it to someone else

Fill in the recipient’s details instead of your own and choose **Email** or **Link**. [Send a request](https://formstep.io/docs/requests/creating-requests/) explains each part of the sheet.

> A workflow or an AI agent can send the same request for you and pick up the answers. See [Guides](https://formstep.io/docs/guides/overview/).
