Quick Start Guide

Getting started with BttrForm takes less than five minutes. This guide walks you through the entire journey: creating an account, building your first form (with AI or manually), publishing it live, and viewing incoming responses.

Step 1: Create Your Account

Head to bttrlabs.com/signup and create a free account. You have three options:

• Google Sign-In — fastest way to get started, one click
• GitHub Sign-In — great for developers who want to integrate later
• Email & Password — traditional sign-up with email verification

No credit card is required. The free tier includes 1,000 responses per month, 100 MB of storage, and 10 AI generations per day — more than enough to explore everything BttrForm offers.

After signing in you arrive at your Dashboard — the central hub where you manage all your forms, view analytics, and access settings.

Step 2: Create Your First Form

Click the "New Form" button in the top-right corner of your dashboard. BttrForm gives you two paths to create a form:

Option A: Generate with AI (Recommended)

Select "Generate with AI" and describe the form you need in plain English. The more context you provide, the better the result.

Example prompt:

Create a customer feedback survey for an online store.
Include ratings for product quality, shipping speed, and
customer service. Add a text field for suggestions and
ask if the customer would recommend us to a friend.

BttrForm's AI analyzes your description, selects the right field types, adds sensible validation rules, and even sets up conditional logic where it makes sense. The generated form appears in the builder in seconds, ready for you to review and customize.

Option B: Start from Scratch

If you prefer full manual control, select "Start from scratch". You get an empty canvas and a field palette on the left. Drag fields onto the form, configure each one, and arrange them in any order. This approach is covered in depth in the Creating Your First Form guide.

Step 3: Customize Your Form

Regardless of how you created the form, you can fine-tune every detail in the form builder:

• Edit field labels and placeholders — click any field to open its settings panel
• Add validation — mark fields as required, set min/max lengths, define regex patterns
• Reorder fields — drag and drop to rearrange
• Add conditional logic — show or hide fields based on previous answers
• Style the form — choose a theme, customize colors, upload your logo

The builder auto-saves your work every few seconds, so you never lose progress.

Preview Before Publishing

Click the "Preview" button in the top toolbar to see exactly how your form will look to respondents. Toggle between desktop, tablet, and mobile views to ensure it looks great on every screen size.

Step 4: Publish Your Form

When you are satisfied with your form, click "Publish" in the top-right corner. BttrForm instantly generates:

• Direct Link — a unique URL you can share via email, social media, or messaging apps
• Embed Code — an HTML snippet to place the form on your website
• QR Code — a downloadable QR code for print materials or in-person events

Your form is now live and accepting responses.

<!-- Embed example — paste this into any HTML page -->
<iframe
  src="https://bttrlabs.com/f/your-form-id"
  width="100%"
  height="600"
  frameborder="0"
  style="border: none; max-width: 720px; margin: 0 auto;"
></iframe>

Step 5: View and Analyze Responses

As responses come in, they appear in real time on your Responses tab. BttrForm provides several ways to work with your data:

• Table View — sortable, filterable spreadsheet of all responses
• Individual View — detailed view of a single submission
• Analytics Dashboard — charts, completion rates, drop-off analysis
• AI Insights — sentiment analysis, smart categorization, and response summaries

AI-Powered Response Intelligence

Every text response is automatically analyzed for sentiment (positive, neutral, or negative). Open-ended answers are categorized by theme so you can spot trends at a glance. The AI summary feature condenses hundreds of responses into a concise overview — perfect for sharing with your team.
