Hey welcome back. So in the previous video we how used a template and created a Contact Us form. But in this video we are going to do something very different. Earlier we have used a contact information template from the template gallery. But now we are going to start with a blank template. So you may ask me what is a blank template?

Blank template doesn't contain any kind of question questions or answers already added. Basically it is something where you are going to add all the questions and so the data dives right from the beginning. So let me open this blank template and after opening this blank template, you'll see that it's name by default is untitled form, you can change it. I'm going to change it as subscribe. So in this video, I'm going to teach you how you can create form from a bank template. I'm going to create a subscribe form with the help of which I can gather email addresses of different people who are visiting my site.

And I will be using these email addresses for further marketing and I will be sending them all the blog posts and other news regarding my website. And here the top has a how just click there. The title of the form has been changed. Now for a subscribe form. Should have a question, which is email address. So by default here we have one question which is untitled question.

And its answer type is multiple choice as a type. I'm going to replace this question with email address and an offer changing the question name. Now, instead of the multiple choice as the type, I'm going to choose the short answer type for this question. So it was very simple to create this form and offer that I'm going to the responses section. I'm going to create a new spreadsheet where I will be storing all the information about the responses of this form. So this is how this spreadsheet of the form will be.

And now after that, let me just preview this form and try adding any details. So this is how the form will be. And here I can add email address, so I will try adding it. So instead of adding an email rose, I have just added a name. And let me check whether if I will click Submit, it will show an error or it will accept. Well, it has accepted that response.

But it is a kind of a problem for me because as a website owner, I don't want contacts where some of them are junoon email addresses and some of them are just fake. So in order to authorize whether the person has actually added an email address or not, we are going to use the response validation option. So back to the Questions tab. And here, we can find the response validation option when you will click this button. Here we have it and I will click that. Now, this is what response validation means.

This helps me to manage the answer that the respondent tries to add and if it satisfies a particular condition, and if the validation is satisfied, then only the respond and of the form can proceed to submit it. So for this particular portion, I want this app to validate whether it is an email address or not. So you Let me just install number, I am going to choose text. And here when I will click this contains drop down, there is an option saying email address. So I will just click that, it will actually check that whether the particular text that the user has added is an email address or not. And here you can add a custom error message if the user has just accidentally tried to add something else.

So let me just add a small custom error message. I just added a small error message which is please add a valid email address. Now, I have even fought to make this question required. So let me just enable this portion to be required and Now, let me try filling the form again. So this is it. And here, I'm going to try adding some other name and check whether it will actually accept the response or not.

Now, yeah. Now as I'll just click the submit button, you can see the error message is being displayed, saying please add a valid email address. Okay, that seems pretty good. Well, this was one of the way you can collect email addresses. You can easily collect the email addresses with one of the options available in the Settings section of the form editor. So let me click the Settings button.

And here in the general section, we have the option saying let email address So, while I will just check this option and click the Save button, it will automatically add the first question of the form as email address and you need not add a question and using the response validation option, you will need no check whether the particular answer that the user has added is a valid email address or not. So I can just delete this and I can just preview this form again. And let me try adding a text which is not an email address. So whenever the click Submit button, it is showing the error message saying must be a valid email address. So the second method that I have shown you is the easiest way of creating subscription form. And now after this video, you have to complete a small assignment.

An assignment is how to create a Contact Us form as we how created in the previous video using a template. But here the real task is that you how to create this form using a blank template. Apart from this talk, I'm going to give you a more important challenge. In this form, there is a question saying phone number if you can observe here, there is no kind of validation to this. So a person can randomly add any number which is not his phone number. And if you are going to use this contact us form globally.

In that case, you should also know the country code. Hence, you should also add another question where the person can either select the country code or select The country, right? So this is a small challenge for you. You should try something's smart enough so that you can allow the user to provide information about the country that he'll use. I guess the challenge is very interesting. And if it is, then first of all try and if you are not able to figure out how you can create a form where you can gather genuine phone numbers, then I will recommend you to watch the next video.

Until then, bye bye. Buy
