Creating and Managing Forms

Create online booking and quote request forms for your customers. Your default form also powers missed-call recovery texts.

Forms let your customers request quotes or book appointments online — no phone call needed. Submissions create leads in your dashboard just like phone calls do.

Your default form

When you sign up, Tinylawn creates a default Quote Request form automatically. This form is ready to share right away.

Your default form is also used for missed-call recovery. When call recovery is on and a caller hangs up early, Tinylawn texts them a link to this form. Keep one clear, active default form so recovery works smoothly.

Creating a new form

1. Go to the Forms page.

2. Click Create Form.

3. Enter a name for the form (e.g., "Spring Cleanup Booking" or "Free Estimate Request").

4. Set a URL slug — this is the short link customers will see (e.g., spring-cleanup).

5. Select a Form Type:

- Appointment — Shows services from your catalog (with price and description as configured). Use this when you want customers to pick a specific service.

- Quote Request — Free-form request without listing services. Use this when you want an open-ended intake.

6. Save the form.

Your form URL will look like:

https://tnyln.co/your-business/spring-cleanup

Managing forms

From the Forms page, you can see all your forms in a list. Each form shows:

Metric

Description

Page views

How many people visited the form

Submissions

How many people completed and submitted it

Actions available for each form

- Preview — Open the form in a new tab to see what customers see.

- Copy link — Copy the form URL to your clipboard for sharing.

- Download QR code — Generate a QR code in PNG, JPEG, or SVG format.

- Edit — Update the form name or URL slug.

- Toggle active/inactive — Deactivate a form without deleting it. Inactive forms won't accept submissions.

- Set as default — Mark a form as your primary form. This is the form used for call recovery texts and for visits to tnyln.co/your-business.

- Delete — Permanently remove the form (confirmation required).

How form submissions become leads

When a customer submits a form:

1. Their information is validated and saved.

2. A client record is created (or matched to an existing client).

3. A property record is created with the submitted address.

4. A lead is created and appears on your Leads page.

5. Form metrics (views and submissions) are updated.

Tips

- Create different forms for different purposes — a general quote request form for your website and a seasonal promotion form for flyers.

- Keep your default form simple if you use call recovery — abandoned callers should be able to finish it quickly.

- Deactivate seasonal forms instead of deleting them so you can reuse them next year.
