Forms are built in: no separate form plugin is needed. A form is created once, inserted anywhere with the **Form** block, and every submission is stored on your site and can be sent to you by email.

## Enable the Forms module

Go to **Flatsome → Dashboard → Modules** and make sure **Forms** is enabled. It is on by default on new sites.

## Create the form

1. Open the page in the Flatsome Builder and insert a **Form** block where the form should appear.
2. Choose **Add New Form**, enter a **Form name**, pick the **Contact form** template, and choose **Create**. It comes with Name, Email, and Message fields and a Send message button. **Blank** starts from scratch.
3. Adjust the fields on the canvas. Each field has a label, placeholder, and a **Required** toggle. Add more fields from the inserter: text, email, phone, number, URL, date, time, multi-line text, choice (radio, checkbox, or dropdown), a single checkbox, hidden values, and groups.
4. Save the page.

The Form block only references the form. Insert the same form on another page and both stay identical; edit the fields in one place and every copy updates.

## Show fields conditionally

Any field can be shown only when another field has a certain value. Select the field, open **Conditions**, and add a rule such as *Show field when Topic is "Order"*. Rules can be combined, and choice options can have conditions of their own.

## Notifications and submissions

Open **Form settings** from the Form block, or go to **Flatsome → Forms**, select the form, and open its **Settings** tab:

- **Notifications**: the email sent when someone submits. Set the recipients, subject, and message; field values can be inserted into the email.
- **Submission**: what the visitor sees after sending, and whether submissions are stored as entries.

Stored entries appear in the form's **Submissions** tab under **Flatsome → Forms**, filtered to **Inbox** by default. Mark them read, unread, or spam, trash them, or **Export CSV**. How long entries are kept is set under **Flatsome → Settings → Forms**.

## Newsletter signups

The same block covers signups: create a form from the **Newsletter signup** template (email plus a consent checkbox) or **Inline newsletter** for a single-line field with a Subscribe button, and place it in the footer or a banner.
