How to create a Form
Create an onboarding form: sending message, fields linked to the contract and additional fields.
Updated on Oct 12, 2026
You can create a form to collect the data you need for the contract from the candidate. If the form is linked to a contract, the candidate's fields come from the contract.
Where to find it: Pre-onboarding → Forms → Create form
Before you start
- If you need a form for a contract, start from the contract. When you upload a contract, Klaaryo automatically creates a form for the candidate's fields. See How to create a Contract.
- Use Create form for a form without a contract, for example to collect only documents.
Steps
- Go to Pre-onboarding → Forms.
- Click Create form, or open the form created from the contract.
- In Form information, give the form a name (e.g. "Raccolta dati marzo").
- Write the Form submission message: the WhatsApp text that goes with the link.
- In Form fields, check the fields already there.
- If you need more data, click Add field. Choose the type, for example Short text, Date or Single choice.
- Save.

Good to know
- Fields linked to the contract can't be removed or edited.
- You can reorder fields by dragging them.
- When the form is Ready you can link it to a collection.
- If you delete a form linked to a contract, the contract is deleted too.
