Zoho Forms is an intuitive drag-and-drop form builder that empowers businesses to collect information efficiently, securely, and from anywhere. Whether it’s customer surveys, lead capture, event signups, or HR onboarding, Zoho Forms helps you automate workflows and sync data seamlessly across your systems.

What Zoho Forms Is and What It Does

Zoho Forms is a cloud-based form builder that allows you to design, share, and manage online forms without any coding knowledge. It is a fully integrated solution that supports data collection for a wide range of business scenarios, such as lead generation, order processing, customer feedback, internal audits, and event management.


The platform features a drag-and-drop editor with over 40 customizable field types including dropdowns, ratings, file uploads, and signatures. You can apply conditional logic, split forms into multiple pages, and personalize the layout with your branding.


Form submissions can trigger instant actions like sending emails, assigning tasks, or updating records in connected apps. Built-in approval workflows allow for seamless review and sign-off processes. Whether you’re in the office or on the move, Zoho Forms enables mobile data capture with offline access and auto-sync functionality.


The solution also includes real-time analytics, form scheduling, access control, and advanced security features. You can embed forms into websites, share links via email or QR code, and even collect payments through integrated gateways.


Zoho Forms is not just about collecting data. It is about making that data immediately actionable by automating what happens next.

Why Zoho Forms Is a Great Solution

Zoho Forms delivers value by simplifying the entire data collection process. It is user-friendly, mobile-compatible, and integrates tightly with Zoho and third-party platforms. With automated workflows and secure submissions, Zoho Forms helps teams collect accurate data faster, while reducing manual follow-ups and administrative delays.

What You Can Accomplish with Zoho Forms

Zoho Forms enables businesses to digitize and automate key interactions with customers, employees, and partners. For sales and marketing, it captures leads at events or through landing pages, and instantly pushes them into Zoho CRM. Teams can use forms to collect product feedback, conduct surveys, or qualify prospects with pre-screening logic.

For HR, Zoho Forms manages job applications, onboarding checklists, leave requests, and training evaluations. Internal teams can streamline incident reporting, maintenance requests, and travel approvals, all routed automatically for review.

On the field, forms can be filled out offline using mobile devices and synced later, perfect for site inspections or client visits. Real-time dashboards provide insights on submission patterns, while custom reports help track KPIs like form conversion rates or average response time.

With built-in task assignments, approvers and collaborators are notified instantly, ensuring a smooth and coordinated workflow. Data can be exported or automatically routed into Zoho Analytics, Sheets, or external systems for further processing.

Zoho Forms helps users accomplish more with less effort, and ensures no submission ever gets lost in the shuffle.

How Zoho Forms Connects with Other Zoho Applications

Zoho Forms integrates natively with many Zoho apps including Zoho CRM, Zoho Campaigns, Zoho Desk, Zoho Creator, Zoho People, and Zoho Analytics. Data captured through forms can instantly update records, trigger workflows, create support tickets, or launch email sequences across your Zoho environment.

Practical Example of Integration

Imagine a sales team running a trade show booth. They use Zoho Forms on tablets to collect visitor information. Each form submission creates a new lead in Zoho CRM, automatically assigns it to a sales rep, and adds the contact to a targeted email campaign in Zoho Campaigns. If a visitor requests follow-up support, the form routes the request to Zoho Desk, creating a support ticket. This connected flow eliminates manual entry, shortens response time, and ensures every contact is followed up efficiently.
