CK Forms - AI Form Builder Documentation

CK Forms - Ai Form Builder: Complete Documentation

Welcome to the comprehensive documentation for CK Forms - Ai Form Builder. This guide details how to navigate the app's core modules, utilize pre-built layout templates, build or customize forms using the interactive drag-and-drop builder, and integrate your customer data into major email marketing and security platforms.

Core Navigation Dashboard

The app's sidebar layout provides direct access to four primary control zones:

  • Forms: Create, manage, edit, and view live status analytics for your forms.
  • Templates: Browse and preview pre-configured, industry-standard form layouts.
  • Integrations: Secure your forms and connect customer submissions directly to third-party tools.
  • Pricing: Check plan details and scale up allowed submissions or file thresholds.

Form Canvas Builder Interface

The canvas builder divides tasks cleanly into left-side configuration menus and right-side interactive previews. You can build from an empty canvas or edit an existing template.

  • Real-time Metrics Tracking: The top bar displays total form blocks (e.g., 4 fields) alongside validation constraints (e.g., 3 required).
  • Field Management: Simply drag elements from the left panel over onto your main grid. Click an individual canvas container item anytime to edit text configurations, placeholders, or visibility logic.
  • Status Management: Draft statuses save automatically. When production adjustments finish, click "Publish" on the far top-right corner to make form deployments live via your Shopify Theme blocks.

Form Creation & Template Library

When starting a new project, click "Create your first form" on your main dashboard. The creation screen gives you multiple pathways to match your workflow:

A. The Setup Screen Options

  • Build it with AI (Beta): Type what you need in plain, conversational English (e.g., "Add a phone & address"), and let the AI generate the fields instantly.
  • Start from scratch: Open an empty canvas to drag and drop custom fields manually.
  • Start from a template: Select one of seven fully customizable, ready-to-use layouts sorted by use case.

B. Previewing Layouts

Clicking Preview on any entry inside the Templates tab pulls up an interactive preview modal. Review the structural desktop/mobile layout, input scaling, and submit buttons. Once verified, click "Use This Template" to push it directly into the builder canvas.

Integrations Setup

Protect user capture points and connect contact touchpoints natively to external providers:

Security & Anti-Spam

  • Google reCAPTCHA: Protect storefront forms from bot exploits using Google's industry-standard v2/v3 frameworks.
  • hCaptcha: A privacy-first alternative offering robust bot protection built entirely around GDPR compliance structures.

Email Marketing Platforms
