Introduction

With the Forms API, you can customize a registration form for site visitors to fill out with their contact details and other relevant information. The form defines which elements are rendered on the site page during the registration process (RSVP or checkout).

To build a registration form you need to use controls (blocks), each of which may contain multiple field inputs. For example, the address control may include inputs for street address, city, state, country, and zip code. By default, name and email controls are already included in the form and they can't be removed.

You can also include the following additional controls:

• phone
• address
• date
• additionalGuests
• dropdown
• checkBox
• text
• radioButton

Each event has a published registration form by default which automatically updates when calling one of the API functions. The form becomes a draft and you can publish it by calling the publishDraft function.

The Forms API allows you to:

• Add, delete, update controls with relevant fields on the form.
• Publish changes or discard them in a draft form.
• Update messages displayed on the form.
• Get information about the form.
