How can I create my first form?
DocBlaster converts ordinary emails into interactive forms that can be sent using SMS or social media and filled out on any standard web browser. In only a few minutes you will have created your first form.
Here's How it Works
DocBlaster transforms characters like underscores or brackets into interactive forms.
Text Fields
Just like paper forms, a line of underscores like this _____________ will make a text field like the one shown.
Note: The minimum amount of underscores is 3. Each underscore represents one character.
Signature Panels
If you want somewhere to sign, put the word "sign" before the underscores like this: Sign _____________ or just use forward slashes like this: /___________/
After your email is transformed by DocBlaster your form will have an interactive signature panel.
Check Boxes
To make a checkbox, simply put two square brackets with a space between them like this:
[ ]
This will create a clickable checkbox.
Option Buttons
To make a set of option buttons, use regular brackets like so:
( ) Option 1
( ) Option 2
( ) Option 3
Remember If you have an empty line separating the brackets this will separate the buttons into another group.
After being transformed, your option buttons will look like the picture shown.
You're Read to Write Your Form!
Here is how you can put what you've learned into practice.
- Open your favourite email client
- Address the email to forms@docblaster.com
- Add your form title to the subject line
- Write out your form just as you would if you were going to print it
- Hit send
DocBlaster will then transform your email into an interactive form. After a few seconds, you will receive a reply from DocBlaster.
For a quick start example, click the "Create Form" button below.
That's okay, you probably don't have a default email service setup on your device.
You can visit docblaster.com/get-started from a device that has email setup on it or follow the instructions below:
- Open your favourite email inbox and start a new email.
- Add forms@docblaster.com to the "To" field.
- Copy and paste the text below into the body of the email and hit send!
Dear new user,
Click Send to Create your first DocBlaster Form.
Underscores like this _____________ create text fields just like paper forms. Nothing to see here, move on!
Brackets with a space [ ] create check boxes. Too easy!
You can also make "single choice boxes" with round brackets like this:
( ) Still don't get it
( ) This is easy
( ) This is too easy!
If you want somewhere to sign, put the word "sign" before the underscores like this:
Sign _____________
That's all there is to it!
Enjoy!
