Forms
One block for name, email, phone and address
Contact details are the boring part of every form, and in a one question at a time form they cost four screens. The profile field puts them on one screen, so the questions worth asking get the attention instead.
What it collects
Name, email, phone, address and an optional avatar, each of which can be switched off and each of which can be relabelled. Turning off the parts you do not need is the point: a profile block with three fields is faster than three separate screens, and a profile block with five fields nobody needs is worse than either.
Where to put it
Either first or last, and the choice is strategic. First is right when you need to be able to follow up even if someone abandons halfway, which is true of any lead capture form. Last is right when the questions are the interesting part and asking for details up front would put people off, which is true of most surveys and feedback forms.
The avatar
The avatar sits either above the fields or to their right. It is worth including only when the photo does real work later, in a directory, a badge or a profile page. On a general enquiry form it is an extra ask at the exact moment you want the fewest, so leave it off.
Classic forms do not need it
The profile field is conversational only, and that is because a classic form already shows contact fields together on one page. On a classic form use the full name field and separate email and phone fields, laid out on one or two rows.
How it works, in three steps
Step 1
Add a profile field
Conversational forms only. It arrives with all parts on, which is more than most forms need.
Step 2
Switch off what you will not use
Address and avatar are the two to question first. Every part you leave on is a box someone has to pass.
Step 3
Decide first or last
First for lead capture where follow-up matters. Last for surveys where the answers matter more than the person.

Limits worth knowing
- The profile field is conversational only.
- It collects one address, using the same parts as the standalone address field.
- There is no lookup or autocomplete on any part of it.

Questions people ask
Can I use the profile block on a classic form?
No, it is conversational only. On a classic form the same job is done by a full name field plus email and phone fields on one row.
Should contact details come first or last?
First if you need to follow up with people who do not finish. Last if asking up front would stop people starting, which is usually the case for surveys.
Is the avatar worth asking for?
Only if the photo is used somewhere afterwards. On an enquiry form it is one more thing to do at the moment you want the fewest.

Forms that take a voice recording
Some answers are quicker said than typed. A recording field asks for audio instead of text, with a recorder, a running timer and a duration cap, and the recording plays back in the response.
Fill in the blank forms
Sometimes a question is really a sentence with holes in it. A declaration, a statement of intent, a short contract clause. The inline text field lets you write that sentence and drop real inputs into the gaps.
One question at a time forms
Twelve questions can be twelve screens or one page. Both take the same answers and produce the same row in your responses table. The difference is entirely in what the respondent feels, and it decides who finishes.
