Control what users see: progress bar, submit button, and success/error messages.
Overview
This chapter helps you control the “feel” of the form while people are filling it. Small details — like a clear button label and a friendly confirmation message — can reduce drop‑offs and repeat submissions.
You can set:
- Whether to show a progress bar (useful for longer forms)
- Whether to show the submit button (usually you want it on)
- The submit button text (example: “Request a Demo”)
- A success message that explains next steps
- An error message that guides the user to retry
Example: After submitting a “Callback Request” form, your success message can say “Thanks — we’ll call you within 2 business hours”, which sets a clear expectation.
How It Works
Form settings decide what is shown during filling and what message appears after submission. This is especially useful when you embed the form on your website and want it to match your tone (friendly, professional, short, etc.).
Step-by-Step Guid
- Open your form.
- Turn Show Progress Bar on or off.
- Choose if you want to show the submit button.
- Set Submit Button Text (for example, “Send”, “Register”, “Request a demo”).
- Write a clear Success Message and Error Message.
- Preview the form and submit a test entry.

Tips
- Make success messages specific: “We’ll reply within 1 business day.”
- Use action words on the button: “Book”, “Send”, “Apply”, “Register”.
- If your form creates a Lead, say so: “Our sales team will contact you.”
Common Mistakes
- Using a generic success message that doesn’t explain next steps.
- Hiding the submit button accidentally (users cannot complete the form).
