Basic Fields

Basic fields are the foundation of every form. They are available on all plans - including the free Basic plan - so you can start building immediately without any payment required.

Available Basic Fields

Using Basic Fields

To add a basic field to your form:

1. Open Forms Plugin and go to the Fields page
2. Select the Basic tab
3. Click any field to add it to your selected form on the canvas

Each field comes with sensible defaults for label text, placeholder text, and validation. You can customize all of these via Framer’s component properties panel.

Field Configuration

Once a field is added to your form, you can configure it:

• Label - the visible name shown above the input
• Placeholder - the hint text shown inside the input when it’s empty
• Required - toggle to make the field mandatory before form submission
• Default value - pre-fill the field with a value

Blocked Domains (Email field)

The Email field has a Blocked Domains property that lets you reject submissions from specific email domains. Add any domains you want to filter out - common use cases include disposable email providers like yopmail.com, competitor domains, or any addresses you don’t want in your inbox. To configure:

1. Select the Email field on your canvas
2. Open the Blocked Domains property in the component panel
3. Click Add… and enter a domain (e.g. yopmail.com)
4. Repeat for as many domains as you need

Any email address using a listed domain will fail validation when the form is submitted. Matching is case-insensitive, so YOPMAIL.com and yopmail.com both get rejected.

When to Use Basic Fields

Basic fields cover the majority of real-world form needs:

• Contact forms - name, email, message (text area)
• Newsletter sign-ups - email, name, checkbox for consent
• Survey forms - radio buttons and multiple choice for structured answers
• Inquiry forms - dropdowns for topic selection, text area for details

For more sophisticated inputs - file uploads, rating scales, e-signatures - see Advanced Fields.
