Alternatively, you can also embed third-party forms on your website. For help inserting third-party forms, see the Embed Code section for additional information.

- Sign in to your Good Gallery administrator account.
- Hover your cursor over the Forms menu.
- Under the Form Tools menu heading, choose Add New Form.

- Click the Save Changes button.
Form Settings
Form Settings manage form behavior. To change the appearance of forms, use the Forms settings and Typography settings under Site Settings.

Form Name
Provide a unique form name. Short names work best. This label is not visible to visitors.
Send Submissions To
Indicate the email address where form content is sent when the visitor clicks the Submit Form button. This field supports multiple comma-separated or semicolon-separated email addresses.
The default address for this field is your Good Gallery username when the form is created.
Send Submissions From
Indicate the reply-to email address for Return Receipt emails. This is also the reply-to address for submission emails you receive when visitor email addresses are not collected in your form.
The default address for this field is your Good Gallery username.
From Name
Indicate the name displayed in the reply-to address area for submission emails you receive and Return Receipt emails. The default value for this field is your company name.
Subject Line
Indicate the text that appears in the subject line area for submission emails you receive. The default value for this field is Inquiry.
Use this field to create subject lines that stand out in your inbox.
Submission URL
Indicates the URL where visitors are sent when they successfully submit the form. When this option is blank, visitors are presented with a confirmation message after form information is submitted and remain on the page where the form is located.
Use this feature to send visitors to custom landing pages or track conversions using tools like Google Analytics.
Confirmation pages can perform the following functions:
- Confirm the submission of the form
- Thank the visitor for completing the form (thank you page)
- Assure the visitor that they made the right choice in completing the form
- Provide an explanation regarding what will happen next
- Recommend that they consider another product or service you offer
- Ask for a referral
Submit Button Label
Customize the text that appears on the submit button. The default value for this field is Send Message.
Submitted Button Label
Customize the text that appears on the submit button after the form has been submitted. The default value for this field is Send Message Again.
Email Format
Indicate if submitted content should be provided in html or plain text format.
The html format presents submitted content styled simply for convenient inbox viewing. The plain text option is also used to format content appropriately for third-party tools like ShootQ and Pixifi.
Append Name to Subject
Indicate if visitor names are appended to the Subject Line of submitted form content.
The name displayed is based on submitted information from the Name (Full) field or Name (First) + Name (Last) in your form. If you use multiple names in your form, only the initial name field information is presented in the email subject line.
