# Overview

> Build custom forms and embed them on your site

Forms let you build custom forms - contact forms, newsletter sign-ups and more - in your dashboard and embed them on your website. Submissions are collected in Marzipan, and depending on the form type they can notify your team, start a conversation in your inbox, or add someone to a marketing list.

To view your forms:

1. Log in to your Marzipan account
2. Click on **Forms** in the main navigation menu
3. The overview page will display all of your forms

### Forms

The list shows each form and how it is performing.

</Frame>

* **Name** - the form's name, with its slug
* **Status** - whether the form is active
* **Submissions** - how many submissions the form has received
* **Type** - `Contact`, `Newsletter` or `Custom`
* **Created** - when the form was created

Click on any form in the list to edit it, or to view the [submissions](/forms/submissions) it has received.

### Header actions

The top-right corner of the forms list has two actions:

* **Create form** - build a new form (see [Create](/forms/create))
* **All submissions** - view every submission across all of your forms

### Form types

Every form has a **type**, which determines what happens after someone submits it:

| Type           | Built-in behaviour                                                         |
| -------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Contact**    | Notifies your staff and creates a thread in [Messages](/messages/overview) |
| **Newsletter** | Subscribes the person to a marketing list                                  |
| **Custom**     | No built-in behaviour - the submission is simply recorded                  |

<Tip>
  Whatever the type, you can still notify your team and send an auto-reply. See [Notifications](/forms/notifications).
