You will need the Full Write Forms permission to create and manage forms.
The Forms module lets you build a public sign-up form so members and guests can volunteer for open opportunities at your church. A form is a flexible alternative to the built-in serving opportunities — you choose exactly what to ask, and anyone with the link can respond. This article walks through building one.
Create the form
Go to Forms and click + Add New.
Enter a Name for the form (for example, "Volunteer Sign-Up") and, optionally, choose a Category. Click Save. The form designer opens on the Fields tab.
Add your fields
Every form starts with a Name and Email field. Add a short description at the top so volunteers know what they're signing up for, then click + Add Field to collect anything else you need — for example, a dropdown or checkbox list of the opportunities or positions people can choose from, and their availability.
Make the form public
Open the Settings tab. On the General sub-tab, under Visibility, turn on Is Public? so anyone can open and submit the form.
Under Access, leave Require Login off so volunteers don't need an account to respond. Turn on Require Password only if you want to limit who can open the form.
Set a Confirmation Message volunteers see after submitting, and an optional Max Submissions limit if spots are limited.
Notify your team and share the form
On Settings > Notifications (and Settings > Automations), set up an alert so the right coordinator is notified whenever someone signs up.
Share the form: from the Forms listing, use Web Embed to add it to your website, or copy the public form link and share it directly.
Tip: To route sign-ups automatically — for example, to add respondents to a group or notify a leader — see How do I add automation to a form?
Manage sign-ups
Review who has signed up on the form's Entries tab, where you can view and export submissions.
