Forms

Firesky Forms lets you create custom forms and embed them directly on your church website. Forms are fully managed in Firesky — no CHMS required.

Creating a Form

Go to Dashboard → Forms
Click New form
Give your form a title and optional instructions (shown above the form)
Add fields from the panel on the left:

Available Field Types

Field type	Description
Text	Single-line text input
Paragraph	Multi-line text area
Date	Date picker
Radio	Single-choice selection (shows as radio buttons)
Dropdown	Single-choice selection (shows as a dropdown menu)
Checkbox	One or more checkbox options
File upload	Allow respondents to attach a file
Instructions	Display-only text block (not an input)

Form Settings

Setting	Description
Collect contact info	Adds First Name, Last Name, Email, and Phone fields automatically
Collect address	Adds a full address block automatically
End date	The form stops accepting responses after this date
Completion message	What respondents see after successfully submitting

Click Save when finished

Embedding a Form on Your Website

Step 1: Get the form ID

Open the form in Dashboard → Forms → click the form → look for the embed code section. The form-id is the UUID shown there.

Step 2: Add the Firesky script to your site (if not already)

<script id="FireSkyWidgets" src="https://www.thefiresky.com/widgets.js"></script>

Step 3: Add the form element where you want it

<fs-firesky-forms form-id="your-form-uuid-here"></fs-firesky-forms>

Replace your-form-uuid-here with the form ID from Step 1.

Step 4: Make sure your domain is in Allowed Origins

Go to Dashboard → Widgets → Allowed origins and add the domain where your form will appear (e.g. https://mychurch.org). Without this, the form won't load.

Note: The Firesky Forms widget must be added to your church in Dashboard → Widgets. It's free for all churches.

Viewing Responses

Go to Dashboard → Forms → Responses to see all submissions across all forms. Use the filter to view responses for a specific form.

Each response shows:

Submission date
Contact information (name, email, phone — if collected)
Address (if collected)
All field responses

Editing a Form

Go to Dashboard → Forms, click the form you want to edit, and make your changes. Existing responses are preserved when you edit a form.

Changes to field labels or options apply immediately to new submissions but do not affect existing responses.

Closing a Form

Set an end date in the form settings to automatically stop accepting responses on a specific date. After the end date, visitors will see your completion message instead of the form.

To close a form immediately, set the end date to today's date.

Deleting a Form

In Dashboard → Forms, use the delete button next to the form. Deleting a form permanently removes it and all its responses.

Differences: Firesky Forms vs. Custom Form widget

	Firesky Forms	Custom Form widget
Where forms are managed	Firesky dashboard	Ministry Platform
CHMS required	No	Yes (Ministry Platform)
Widget element	`<fs-firesky-forms form-id="...">`	`<fs-custom-form guid="...">`
View responses	Dashboard → Forms → Responses	Ministry Platform

Use Firesky Forms for most situations — it's simpler and doesn't require a CHMS. Use Custom Form only if you need to embed an existing Ministry Platform form.
