Form Elements

9 min readUpdated 1 March 2026

Forms allow website visitors to submit information directly through your site. Use them for contact enquiries, surveys, feedback, event registrations, or newsletter signups. Limecube's form builder includes a range of field types, email configuration, spam protection, and integrations with tools like Google Sheets and Mailchimp.

Available Field Types

Radio button — single-choice option groups.
Heading/Separator — section dividers to organise longer forms.

Email Configuration

By default, form submissions are sent to your profile email address. To change the recipient, open the form settings, locate the 'From & To Email' field, and enter your preferred address. You can also add CC and BCC recipients in this section.

Always test your form after changing the email address. Send a test submission to confirm that messages are arriving correctly.

Thank You Page

After submitting a form, visitors are redirected to your designated thank you page. This is a great opportunity to confirm receipt and set expectations — for example: 'Thanks for your enquiry. Someone will be in touch within 48 hours.'

Spam Protection

Enable Google reCAPTCHA to prevent automated spam submissions. You can also block URLs in description fields as an additional layer of protection against bot submissions.

Integrations

Connect your forms to external services for automated workflows. Supported integrations include Google Sheets (log submissions to a spreadsheet), Zapier (trigger automations from form submissions), and Mailchimp (add subscribers to your mailing lists automatically).

Creating a Subscription Form

Subscription forms let visitors sign up for newsletters or updates. They are especially useful on blog layouts, where the form can appear in the right-hand column and display automatically across all blog posts.

1Add a form element to your page (or use the built-in blog sidebar form)
2Set up the fields you need — typically name and email
3In the form settings, connect to Google Sheets to centralise subscriber records in one spreadsheet
4Optionally connect to Mailchimp via a Google Sheets + Zapier workflow (requires a Business plan)
5Save and publish your page

Connecting your subscription form to Google Sheets gives you a single centralised list of subscribers that you can export or integrate with other tools at any time.

Additional Settings

Form Button Text — customise the submit button label (e.g., 'Send Message', 'Book Now'). Email Reply Text — add a custom message to the confirmation email sent to the visitor. Don't Send Options — control whether admin or user email copies are sent.

Keep forms as short as possible. Every extra field reduces completion rates. Only ask for the information you genuinely need — you can always follow up for additional details.
