2. Create a Contact Form with Google Forms

Create a Contact Form with Google Forms

  • Click on New > Google Forms

2.1

  • Name your Google Form. For this Google Sites tutorial, we’ll name it ‘Contact Us’
  • Add a form description (check the screengrab)
  • Hit the ‘+’ icon on the right-hand side
  • Choose the type of answers. We currently have ‘Multiple choice’ selected. We’ll change it to ‘Short answer’
  • In the first field, type in ‘Name’. Turn on ‘Required’ if you want the answer mandatorily
  • Duplicate the field and rename it ‘Email’. Keep ‘Required’ turned on
  • Duplicate the field again and rename it ‘Phone number’. We won’t turn on ‘Required’ for this field
  • Now, tap the ‘+’ sign again
  • Select ‘Paragraph’ this time
  • Type in ‘Message’ in the field. We won’t turn on ‘Required’ for this field either
  • Remove any other default question from your Google Sites booking form

2.2

We now have a total of four fields on our Google Sites Contact Form.

Using this form, visitors can enter their name and email as well as leave their phone number or a message if they like.

Now head over to ‘Responses’ and ensure that you have ‘Accepting responses’ turned on.

You can also create a spreadsheet and collect all your responses within it.

If you’re using a customer relationship management (CRM) software and wish to email the responses instead, use Zapier to connect Google Forms with your CRM.

Check out my separate tutorial on how to link Zapier with HubSpot CRM

It covers:

  • How to use it?
  • How to connect it with Google Forms?
  • How to connect it with HubSpot?

So, if your business is already using HubSpot CRM,  I can guarantee you’ll benefit from the above tutorial! 

2.3

Now take these actions:

  • Head over to ‘Settings’
  • Tap on ‘Responses’
  • Under ‘Requires Sign-in’, turn off the restriction (refer to the screengrab)
  • Send a copy of responses to the responders if required

2.4

  • Name the Google Sites Contact Form in the top-left corner so that you select the correct form while embedding it on your Google Sites website
  • Customize the theme by tapping on the color pallet icon. For this Google Sites tutorial, we’ll add a header image. You can also change the font style & theme color
  • Preview the contact form (located next to the color pallet icon)
  • Notice that visitors have to sign in with their Google account. To remove it, head back to the form

2.5

  • Tap on ‘Settings’
  • Scroll down to ‘Presentation’
  • Locate ‘Restrictions’
  • Turn on ‘Disable auto-save for all respondents’
  • Preview your form again.

And you’re now ready to learn how to embed your Google Sites contact form on your Google Sites website!
