Creating a Form

Distributing a Form
Completed forms can be shared via a unique Tally link, embedded into websites using provided code, or configured as popups. Forms can also be hosted on custom domains for branding purposes.

Form submissions are collected in a dashboard. Users can set up integrations to automatically send submission data to other tools like Notion, Google Sheets, or Slack via native integrations or automation platforms.
