Forms and customer enquiries, together in Shopify

Create the form, personalize its reply email, and manage what comes next from one inbox.

AI form builder

Describe the form. Make it yours.

Generate an editable form draft from a short description, or build one field at a time. You choose the questions and publish when you're ready.

  • Use AI to suggest a form name, fields, and answer options
  • Edit field labels, required answers, and choice options
  • Preview the form before publishing; duplicate or archive it later

Storefront display

Inline, popup, or slide-out

Choose how your form appears on the storefront. Place it through the Shopify theme editor and use the setup guide to enable the app embed and add the form block.

  • Inline forms sit directly inside a page or theme section
  • Popup and slide-out forms open from a button with your chosen label
  • Set the form block's width, spacing, and slide-out side in the theme editor

Inline

Keep the form visible on the page.

Popup

Open the form in a centered dialog.

Slide-out

Open a panel from the left or right.

Reply emails

A personal acknowledgement for every form

Write a reply template yourself or ask AI for a draft. Personalize it with values from the form, review the live preview, and enable it when you're ready for automatic acknowledgements.

  • Customize the email subject, body, and footer for each form
  • Insert field tags to include a customer's name or other submitted details
  • Check AI feedback, preview the email, and send a test before enabling it
