Instant Forms

Instant Forms lets you publish forms directly as a shareable URL, eliminating the need to create a new page, customize it, and embed the form on your WordPress site.

This makes it possible to distribute forms quickly across the web, via email, or on social media, making them accessible to anyone.

You can also customize the appearance of your Instant Forms using settings like banners, logos, form backgrounds, and more to match your branding
