Create online forms: easy and flexible
Online forms often bring to mind complex development work. Don't worry: with LamaPoll, you don't need any coding skills to create them! Our tool is suitable for all kinds of surveys, including short requests for personal data for registration or sign-up purposes. After all, a form is essentially a questionnaire without the usual choice or matrix questions.
Forms mainly use input fields, a ready-made question type that you simply place on your questionnaire page. Using regex rules, you can set up input fields so that the requested information, such as a phone number, has to be entered in a specific format. This prevents incorrect entries. If you specifically want numbers rather than letters, use the “Number input” question type, which already has the appropriate rule built in. If only email addresses should be accepted as valid input, choose the “Email” question type; the matching regex rule is already in place here too. Other regex rules (regular expressions) let you define further conditions for input fields. You can find more regex examples here: Regular Expressions (RegEx) – Quick Reference
With just a few clicks, you can give your form an attractive, custom design that is optimised for all devices. This means creating and updating your online forms, for example when you have several versions, does not depend on third parties. You stay in full control!
And that's not all: with LamaPoll, you can not only create and design an online registration form yourself, but also manage and monitor the registration process. There is no need to show fully booked events to potential attendees; it only raises false hopes. If several events are open for registration, you can hide any event once it reaches a set number of registrations.
Curious how many registrations your event is getting through the form? Our reporting feature lets you track when a new registration comes in. You receive the report by email, so you don't have to keep checking the tool.
Online forms are suitable for collecting data for:
- Online applications and requests
- Event registrations
- Orders
- Reservations
- Appointment bookings and confirmations
- Complaints and product claims
Our Helpdesk also has step-by-step instructions for creating online forms for event registrations: Online forms for event registration
Online form templates: registrations, orders, appointment bookings and more
Online forms let you collect the details you need from prospects, customers, employees and others for a wide range of purposes. They can be used for anything from sign-ups and registrations to orders, appointment bookings, attendance confirmations and event feedback. Feel free to use our free templates as a starting point: click “Use” to copy a template to your LamaPoll account and adapt it as you like. The forms are easy to embed on your own website. You can find more questionnaire and form examples, for instance for events, on our templates page.
Embed online forms on your own website
Online forms created with LamaPoll can be fully embedded on your company website in just a few clicks, again with no coding skills required. Our tool supports embedding via iframe, so the form appears directly on your website, or as a pop-up dialogue if you prefer. You decide on which pages the form appears and choose your preferred display format. We explain exactly how it works in our Helpdesk. The embedding itself is done in your content management system, and we provide guidance for that too. Embedded on your own website, the registration, booking or sign-up form is perceived by users as part of your site.

Create online registration forms: GDPR-compliant & secure
As soon as you offer registration and sign-up processes online, personal data comes into play. First and last name, email address and sometimes a postal address are particularly relevant for initial registration. Any online registration or login area must handle the data entered securely and in compliance with the rules. Only when users trust that their data is protected and secure are they more likely to provide personal data, and for a registration, such as creating a customer account, to happen at all.
We are one of the leading providers of secure online surveys. At LamaPoll, personal data is protected and secured by appropriate measures in line with GDPR requirements:
