Create and customize your CRM

We’ll first create a new folder for your formaloo, and let’s call it “CRM.”

Now create a formaloo which is like a container for your data. You need a title for your formaloo and then, start adding your fields.

You can add any field that is required for your form, like name, email, phone, and city which are the basic fields you’ll want in your CRM, but you can add more fields depending on your needs.

Customize your form, add a background image, change font and color, add your logo, or even customize the text on the buttons and messages.

Also, you can use the “Email verification” field to verify your audience.

let’s add a status field and make it admin-only. Admin-only fields are only accessible by the admins of the formaloo, and end users cannot change them. This information will only be visible to formaloo admins and the users won’t see them.
