Important Features

🎯 Mandatory Submit Button

Every form automatically includes a submit button at the bottom. You don't need to add one - it's always there!

The button uses the Rumble Websites branded styling and cannot be removed (this ensures all forms work correctly).

🔗 Powered By Branding

All forms include a small "Powered by Rumble Websites Emailing Service" footer with a link back to this site.

This is mandatory and helps us provide this service for free!

🔑 Auto-Generated Access Keys

Each time you generate code, a unique access key is created automatically.

Important: You don't need to sign up or provide your email in the form builder! The access key is embedded in the code. When someone submits the form, our system will:

  • Recognize you haven't registered this key yet
  • Ask for your email address (one time only)
  • Send all future form submissions to that email

📊 20 Field Maximum

You can add up to 20 fields to keep forms manageable and user-friendly.

Most contact forms only need 3-8 fields, so 20 is more than enough for even complex forms!

Tips & Best Practices

✅ Keep It Simple

Only ask for information you actually need. Shorter forms get more submissions!

🎯 Use Clear Labels

Make field labels descriptive so users know exactly what to enter.

⭐ Mark Required Fields

Use the Required checkbox for essential information only.

📝 Helpful Placeholders

Use placeholder text to show examples (e.g., "john@example.com").

📋 Logical Order

Arrange fields in a natural order (Name, Email, Message).

🔍 Test Your Form

Always test your form before going live to ensure it works!

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need an access key before using the form builder?

No! The form builder automatically generates a unique access key when you click "Generate Code". You don't need to sign up first.

Can I create multiple forms?

Yes! Create as many forms as you need. Each form will get its own unique access key.

Can I edit a form after generating the code?

The form builder doesn't save your forms. If you want to make changes, you'll need to rebuild the form and generate new code. We recommend saving your generated code in a text file for reference!

What happens to form submissions?

All submissions are sent directly to the email address associated with the access key. When someone first uses your access key, they'll be prompted to register it with their email.

Is there a limit on submissions?

Absolutely not! You get unlimited form submissions for free. Forever.

Can I remove the "Powered By" branding?

The branding footer is mandatory to keep this service free for everyone. It's a small, professional-looking footer that doesn't detract from your form.

Does the form work on mobile devices?

Yes! All forms are fully responsive and work perfectly on phones, tablets, and desktops.
