Add a Free Contact Form to Your Notion Site
A free contact form built in Notion that collects name, email and message straight into a database. How to add it to a Notion site and never miss an enquiry.
The moment you publish anything, you need a way for people to reach you that isn't your personal email address printed in plain text. The usual route is a third-party form service, a free tier with a submission cap, and an integration to keep working. For a Notion site, there's a shorter path.
The free Contact Us form is built entirely in Notion. It collects a name, an email address and a message, and every submission arrives in a database in your own workspace. It's been duplicated over 350 times.
Three fields, on purpose
It's tempting to ask for company size, budget, timeline and how they found you. Every one of those costs you enquiries, and the people who abandon are disproportionately the ones who were only mildly interested, which sounds fine until you remember that mildly interested people become clients surprisingly often once they've spoken to you.
- Name, so you can reply like a human.
- Email, so you can reply at all.
- Message, where they'll tell you what they need in their own words.
Why keeping submissions in Notion helps
Enquiries in an inbox get answered and then vanish into the archive. Enquiries in a database can be given a status, linked to a client record, and reviewed as a list. Suddenly you can see how many enquiries you got last month, how many you replied to within a day, and how many turned into work. None of that is visible in an inbox.
An enquiry in your inbox is a message. An enquiry in a database is a pipeline.
Reply speed is the whole competitive advantage
For most small service businesses, the single biggest determinant of whether an enquiry converts is how fast the first reply arrives. Not how good the reply is. How fast. Set up a notification so a new submission reaches you promptly, and aim to respond the same day, even if the response is just to arrange a call.
Adding it to your site
- Duplicate the form template into your workspace.
- Adjust the fields only if you genuinely need to, fewer is better.
- Publish the form page to the web from Notion's share settings.
- Link to it from your site's navigation and from the end of your services page.
- Submit a test entry yourself from a phone, then check it landed correctly.
Other forms in the same family
If you need more than contact, the free Registration Form, Event Registration Form, Job Application Form and Feedback Form are built the same way. And if you don't have a site yet, the Multipage Professional Website has forms already built in.
