Requests

A request sends your form to one named person, with what you already know filled in, and tells you when they have answered.

What a request is

A form is the design you build once. A request sends it to one person, with their own link and their own answers filled in. You see whether they have opened it and answered, Formstep can remind them, and the answers come back to you, or to the workflow that sent it.

What the recipient sees: their answers filled in, some locked.

Any published form can be sent as a request, and the same form can have a public link too.

What happens after you send it

  1. They get their linkIn an invitation email from Formstep or from you. They can open it as often as they like, on any device.
  2. They see your formIn your brand and their language, with their answers filled in.
  3. They submitThe answers land in the form's inbox and on the Requests page, and the workflow that sent the request is told.

If they do not answer, reminders follow up, and the request expires after 30 days unless you choose otherwise. You can see where each request stands on the Requests page.
