Core Concepts
Understand the fundamental building blocks of Orbit AI to make the most of the platform.
Forms
A Form is the primary building block in Orbit AI. Each form contains a collection of fields that collect specific information from your users. Forms can be published with a unique URL or embedded on your website.
Every form belongs to a Team and can be accessed and edited by all team members. Forms have their own settings for styling, notifications, and integrations.
Tip: Use descriptive slugs for your forms. Instead of "form-1", use "contact-us" or "job-application" for better SEO and sharing.
Form Types
Orbit AI offers two distinct form experiences:
Standard Forms
Traditional forms where all fields are visible at once on a single page. Ideal for applications, registrations, and forms with many fields that users need to see together. Supports multi-column layouts.
Orbit Flows
PopularConversational forms that display one question at a time. Users navigate with keyboard (Enter to continue) or clicks. Proven to increase completion rates by up to 40% compared to standard forms.
You can switch between form types at any time without losing your fields.
Fields
Fields are the individual questions or inputs in your form. Each field has a type that determines what kind of data it collects (text, email, number, etc.) and how it's displayed to users.
Fields can be configured with:
- Label — The question or prompt shown to users
- Placeholder — Example text shown in empty inputs
- Help Text — Additional context or instructions
- Required — Whether the field must be filled before submitting
- Validation — Rules for acceptable input (min/max, patterns)
Submissions
A Submission is created each time a user completes and submits your form. It contains all the data they entered, along with metadata like submission time and source information.
Submissions can be viewed in the dashboard, exported as CSV, or automatically sent to your connected integrations (CRMs, email tools, webhooks).
Teams
Teams are the organizational unit in Orbit AI. All forms, submissions, and settings belong to a team. When you sign up, a default team is created for you.
You can invite team members to collaborate on forms, view submissions, and manage settings. Team members share access to all forms within the team.
Integrations
Integrations connect your Orbit AI forms to other tools in your stack. When a form is submitted, data can be automatically sent to:
- CRMs like Salesforce, HubSpot, and Close
- Marketing tools like Mailchimp and ActiveCampaign
- Spreadsheets like Google Sheets and Airtable
- Custom webhooks for any destination
