How to Create a Form Destination with TacTile
To create a form destination in TacTile, tap Create, choose the Form type, then pick a path: Build a native form (recommended), Connect a Google Form, or Link to an existing form like Typeform or JotForm. Save and publish — anyone who taps your card or scans your QR code lands on the form instantly.

A form destination is a tap-or-scan endpoint that opens a data-collection form instead of a webpage, video, or file — it turns any NFC tap or QR scan into an instant lead-capture moment, no app download or typing a URL required.
A 2025 Formstack study of 1,500 B2B decision makers found average form abandonment reaches 67.8% once a form asks for more than seven fields, and separately, HubSpot research found each additional form field decreases conversion by an average of 4.1%.
How to create a form destination
Create a native form in TacTile — fastest to set up and edit later.Recommended
- Open the TacTile app and tap Create.
- Select the Form category, then choose Build a form.
- Name your form (e.g., "Trade Show Lead Capture") — this label is internal only.
- Add fields one at a time: tap Add Field and choose a type — text, email, phone, dropdown, or checkbox.
- Reorder fields by dragging, and mark required fields with the toggle.
- Set a confirmation message or redirect shown after submission.
- Tap Save, then Publish to attach the form to your card, tag, or QR code.
Link a live Google Form so responses keep flowing into your spreadsheet.
- In TacTile, tap Create → Form → Connect Google Form.
- Sign in and authorize TacTile to read your Google account's form list.
- Select the specific Google Form you want to connect.
- Confirm the connection — TacTile will always pull the live version of that form.
- Tap Publish. Any edits you make later in Google Forms update automatically without republishing.
Point to a form you already built in Typeform, JotForm, or elsewhere.
- Tap Create → Form → Link.
- Paste the public URL of your existing form (Typeform, JotForm, or any hosted form link).
- TacTile validates the link is reachable and not broken.
- Optionally add a short loading label shown for a moment before redirect.
- Tap Publish.
Which path should I use?
Build if you want the fastest, most native-feeling experience and don't already use a form tool — it's the quickest to set up and easiest to edit later from the same app. Connect if your team already lives in Google Forms and wants responses flowing into a spreadsheet you already manage. Link if you've invested in Typeform, JotForm, or another builder with logic or branching TacTile doesn't natively replicate, and you just want the tap to route there.
Common use cases
Trade show booths
Staff tap an NFC badge or visitors scan a table-top QR code to submit contact info in one motion, no exchanging business cards or typing on a tiny keyboard.
Real estate open houses
A yard sign or door placard lets visitors tap to register interest and request the listing sheet without an agent standing over their shoulder.
Restaurant email/waitlist signup
A table tent or host-stand tag lets guests join a waitlist or opt into a mailing list while they wait to be seated.
Event registration
A poster or lanyard tap sends attendees straight to a short RSVP or check-in form instead of a printed sign-up sheet.
Service business intake and quote requests
A van decal or invoice insert lets a homeowner request a quote the moment they think of it, rather than remembering to call later.
Form + analytics
Every tap or scan on a form destination reports back to your TacTile dashboard: total taps/scans, unique visitors, time of day, and device type. The form-specific metric to watch is submission rate — the percentage of people who opened the form and actually completed it, which lets you see directly whether trimming fields improves completion.
