TextBox

Use a TextBox when you need users to provide longer, multi-line input — such as comments, descriptions, feedback, or explanations. Ideal for capturing open-ended responses.

How to Add a FreshForms TextBox#

1. Edit the page where you want to add the form.
2. Click the “Insert More Content” button (usually represented by a “+” icon).
3. From the dropdown, select Other Macros.
4. Then type FreshForms- scroll and select FreshForms TextBox.

This will insert a FreshForms TextBox within the Container Macro.

Configuration Options#

Field Name#

Required. A unique, alphanumeric identifier for this field — no spaces or special characters. It should follow the same naming rules as the form container.

Example: firstName, employeeID, emailAddress

Label#

The short prompt or question shown above the text field. Use it to clearly describe what information you’re asking for.

Example: Your Full Name, Email Address, Reason for Request

Description#

Optional helper text that appears beneath the field. Use this to provide additional guidance, context, or formatting instructions.

Example: “We will not share your email with anyone.”

Required#

Check this box to make the field mandatory. The form will not be submitted unless the user fills this in.
