This example adds in total 7 blocks to the form:

  1. The form title
  2. A title block for the name field
  3. A required text input block for the name field
  4. A title block for the email field
  5. A required email input block for the email field
  6. A title block for the message field
  7. A required large text input block for the message field

​
Response

The API will respond with a 201 status code and with some form meta data:

{
  "id": "m2fK5R",
  "name": "Contact form",
  "workspaceId": "kb3o5R",
  "organizationId": "atL65s",
  "status": "PUBLISHED",
  "hasDraftBlocks": false,
  "isClosed": false,
  "updatedAt": "2024-12-20T10:34:19.262Z",
  "createdAt": "2024-12-20T10:34:19.262Z"
}

The form that was created should now show up in the Tally dashboard & look like this.
