# Contact forms

> Add a form to a page, choose the address its messages go to, and get every message a visitor sends by email, in your site's name.

The **Contact form** is a Block that works on your published site: visitors fill it in, press Send, and the message reaches your inbox. It arrives in your site's name and color, with a **Reply** button that answers the visitor. uxdeck passes each message on and keeps no copy of it.

Forms send on **Pro**. On Free, the form shows on your site and tells visitors it is not taking messages.

## Add one

Open **Blocks** in the toolbar and choose **Contact form** (see [Add and style Blocks](/guide/blocks)). It arrives with a name, an email and a message field and a Send button, in your file's colors. Every part is a layer: restyle it like anything else on the canvas.

Select the form to see its **Form** section in the Design tab.

## Choose where messages go

**Messages go to** offers your account's address, and up to three more you add with **Add an address**.

An address has to be confirmed once before it gets messages. Press **Send the confirmation**: Cloudflare, which delivers uxdeck's mail, emails it a link to press. If it is not in the inbox after a minute, look in the spam folder. Once it is pressed, choose **I confirmed it** and the section says **Messages go to** that address.

Each form sends to one address. Two forms on one site can send to different ones.

## What visitors see after sending

- **After sending:** **Message** keeps visitors on the page and shows a message; **A page** sends them to another page of your site.
- **Show as:** **Helper** shows the message under the form, in its own layer, **Sent**. It is hidden on the canvas, because visitors first see the form: show it with its eye in Layers to style it. **Toast** shows it as a small message at the bottom of the window.
- **When sent** and **When it fails:** the words for each. A message fails, for instance, when the visitor is offline or the form has reached its limit.

## Try it in Preview

In Preview, the form checks the answers as on your site, then shows what **In Preview** says: **Sent** or **Failed**. Nothing is sent from Preview, so you can design both messages. Send a real message from your published site to check the email.

## Fields

The form lists its fields. Add one with **Add a field**: **Short answer**, **Email**, **Phone**, **Long answer**, **Choice** or **Checkbox**. Select a field to set what it asks for, the name its answer is sent under, whether it must be filled, and a choice's options.

Keep a field of the **Email** kind: its answer becomes the email's reply address, so **Reply** answers the visitor.

## Your site's name on the email

The email carries your site's name and color, never uxdeck's. The name is the **Sender name** under **Form emails** in **Deck settings > Site**, or the site's title when you leave it empty. The color is your file's accent.

## Limits and safety

- **1,000 messages a month and 100 a day per site** on Pro. When a form reaches its limit it pauses until the next day or month, and you get one email saying so.
- **Floods stay out:** a visitor can send only a few messages in a row, a form takes no message in the first seconds after the page opens, and a field hidden from people catches bots.
- **Never sent:** fields that ask for passwords, card numbers, security or one-time codes, or account numbers. The section warns you, and such messages are refused.
- **Mute:** every email has a **Mute these emails** link. A muted address gets nothing until you choose **Turn back on** in the form's section.
- **Nothing kept:** uxdeck emails each message and keeps no copy. It counts messages per site per day, without their words.

## Catches

- **Tell your visitors.** You decide what your form asks and what you do with the answers. Add a line under the form that links to your privacy page, so visitors know where their message goes.
- **No confirmation, no messages.** A form whose address is not confirmed does not send. The section says so.
- **Preview does not email.** Check the real email from your published site.
