The starting point

About this template

A suggestions form signals something important: that you're listening and that people's ideas matter. Whether it's customers suggesting product features, employees proposing process improvements, or students giving course feedback, the act of providing a structured channel for input builds trust and surfaces ideas you wouldn't have found otherwise.

More about this template

This template structures the input so it's actually useful. The suggestion type radio (new feature, improvement, process, website/app, other) lets you categorize submissions at a glance. The 'How would this help?' field prompts submitters to articulate the problem they're solving — which is often more valuable than the idea itself. Making name and email optional lowers the barrier for people who have great ideas but prefer to share them anonymously.

formformform makes it easy to collect and review suggestions in one place. Every submission arrives in your inbox and is stored in your dashboard for team review. Embed the form in your product dashboard, your team intranet, your customer portal, or anywhere you want to invite ongoing input.

How to create a suggestions & feedback form

  1. 1

    Click 'Use this template' to open it in formformform with all fields pre-built.

  2. 2

    Customize the suggestion type radio options to match your context — for an employee form, change 'Website or app' to 'Workplace environment'; for a product form, replace 'Process' with 'Onboarding'.

  3. 3

    Decide whether to make name and email optional or required based on your feedback culture — anonymous forms tend to get more honest responses.

  4. 4

    Set your notification email to the team or person who owns the feedback process.

  5. 5

    Edit the intro paragraph to set expectations about how suggestions are reviewed and acted on.

  6. 6

    Publish and embed wherever your users or employees naturally spend time — your app dashboard, your website footer, or your team communication platform.

Best practices for your suggestions & feedback form

Keep name and email optional

anonymous submissions dramatically increase volume and honestly. People share more when they know there are no social consequences.

Close the loop

if someone shares their email and their idea gets implemented, tell them. That one reply generates enormous goodwill and future suggestions.

Share aggregate themes with your team

read suggestions quarterly and identify patterns. Three people asking for the same thing is a signal; one person asking for something is an outlier.

Acknowledge receipt

set up an auto-response confirming you've received the suggestion and explaining how it gets reviewed.

Don't over-engineer the form

you want volume and candor, not structured product requirements. Keep the form short and the fields open-ended.

Review regularly and act visibly

publish what you've changed based on suggestions. 'You asked, we built it' is one of the most powerful messages you can send.
