✨ When You Need This Guide

Use this when you want to:

  • Create a new form from scratch

  • Customize digital intake or feedback forms

  • Make a questions required

  • Get notified when patients complete a form

  • Start a follow-up campaign automatically

Common questions this answers:

  • “How do I build a new form in Aloha?”

  • “Where do I edit what patients see on the form?”

  • “How do I get notified when someone fills one out?”

  • “Do I need to update my website every time I make a change?”


🚀 Create a New Form

  1. Go to the FORMS tab > SHOW FORMS page

  2. Click the + Add button (top right)

  3. Fill out your form settings

    • Form Name: Choose something clear and patient-friendly (e.g. New Patient Intake Form)

    • Layout Options:

      • Interview: Patients answer one question at a time

      • Page: Patients see grouped sections at once


⚙️ Submission Settings

You can automate what happens after a form is completed:

  • Tag: Add a tag to every submission (great for bulk messages or tag applied campaigns)

  • Confirmation Redirect: Send patients to a specific webpage when they finish

  • Send Notification: Email yourself when a form is submitted

  • Start a Campaign: Automatically trigger a campaign based on the submission

Click Add Form when you're done—this unlocks Embed Settings and Step Designer.


🌐 Embed Settings

  • Privacy Policy Options
    Choose what to show patients before submitting:

    • Do not show

    • Redirect: Paste the URL of your policy

    • Custom Text: Add your full policy text directly

🔐 If you select Redirect or Custom Text, patients must agree before continuing.

Copy Your Embed Code

  • Click Copy Embed Code

  • Or Send to an Email

✨ Once your form is complete, use the embed code to add it to your site or share it with your web developer.


Note: If you want the form to be accessible only via a direct link, we recommend embedding it on a hidden page.


🧩 Use the Step Designer

Now it’s time to design your form with the tools at the bottom of the Step Designer:


✅ Make a Form Question Required

Want to make sure a patient must answer a question before submitting?

  1. Scroll to any question > click the gear icon

  2. Toggle "Required" so it shows a blue check

  3. Click OK, then Save Form

No need to re-embed! Your changes will sync automatically to your live form.

Note: If the updates aren't appearing, please refresh your cache or try an incognito browser.
