Building & Styling Forms
- Create a Contact Form That Feeds Your Contacts ListA contact form is the quickest way to turn website visitors into records in Contacts. Every submission creates (or updates) a contact, so your team can follow up without copying data between tools.
- Use the Styles & Options Sidebar in the Form and Survey BuilderThe sidebar on the right side of the builder holds every visual setting for the whole form or survey, so you rarely need to leave the canvas to restyle it.
- Style Forms Quickly With Themes and a Primary ColorThemes and the Primary Color setting give you a branded form in a couple of clicks, without touching code.
- Arrange Fields With Layouts, Columns and Field WidthChoose how fields sit on the page, then fine-tune each field's width and how option lists flow.
- Edit Text Inline and Tune the Mobile ViewTwo builder tools save steps: the inline editor changes text right on the canvas, and the mobile editor styles the phone version separately from desktop.
- Duplicate Elements and Slides With CloningCloning copies something you have already configured, so repeated blocks take seconds instead of minutes.
- Place Images With Flexible Image LayoutsImage layouts control how a picture sits next to your questions. A good layout draws attention to the right spot without crowding the fields.
- Customize Looks With Custom CSSIf the built-in style controls are not enough, custom CSS lets you fine-tune details on forms, surveys and quizzes.
- Add and Edit Custom Fields Right in the BuilderQuick Add lets you create new contact fields by dragging them onto the form, without opening a separate setup screen first.
- Collect Feedback With the Rating ElementThe Rating element lets people respond with icons such as stars or hearts instead of typing, which usually lifts response rates for feedback questions.
- Let Respondents Write In an "Other" AnswerPredefined choices can miss what people really think. The Other option adds a text box under a radio question so respondents can type their own answer.
- Design the Thank-You Message Shown After SubmittingThe On Submit message is what people see right after sending a form, survey or quiz. A branded confirmation reassures them and can point to the next step.
- Understand Auto-Scroll to First ErrorWhen someone submits with a missing or invalid answer, Vendi Today jumps straight to the problem so they can fix it without hunting.
- Speed Up Entry With Address Auto-CompleteAddress Auto-Complete turns the Address field into a smart search bar. As people type, matching addresses appear, and picking one fills in the street, city, state, country and postal code automatically.
Form Logic, Validation & Data Capture
- Show, Hide, Redirect or Disqualify With Conditional LogicConditional logic lets a form react to answers, so each visitor sees only what applies to them.
- Calculate Totals and Scores Inside a FormMath calculations let a form or survey add up answers in real time, handy for quotes, budgets, self-assessments and lead scoring.
- Verify Email Addresses and Phone NumbersVerification confirms that the person really owns the email or phone number they typed, which cuts fake and mistyped entries.
- Protect Forms From Spam SubmissionsFake submissions clutter Contacts and can trigger costly automated emails and texts. A few settings keep them out.
- Why Some Custom HTML Is Blocked From SavingThe HTML element in forms, surveys and quizzes checks your code as you type and blocks risky scripts. This protects your account and your visitors from data theft.
- Fill a Custom Field Automatically With a Short ScriptIf another tool produces a value on your page, such as a certificate link or a campaign code, you can place it into a form field so it saves with the submission.
- Pre-Fill Returning Visitors With Sticky ContactSticky Contact remembers details someone typed before, using a browser cookie, and fills them in next time. It feels like autofill but is built into your forms.
- Capture Lead Source and Time Zone AutomaticallyTwo quiet features record useful context with each submission without asking the visitor anything.
- Collect Consent With a Required CheckboxA required consent checkbox records that someone agreed to hear from you, which supports privacy rules such as GDPR and call or text opt-in requirements.
- Let Respondents Pause and Resume Long FormsSave Progress keeps answers when someone leaves a multi-step form, survey or quiz, so they can come back and continue.
- Schedule When a Form, Survey or Quiz Accepts ResponsesSet an opening and closing time so campaigns start and end on their own, without you toggling anything by hand.
Notifications, Submissions & Publishing
- Get Email Alerts and Send Auto-Replies for SubmissionsTwo switches in the Notifications tab keep everyone informed: an internal alert for your team and an automatic confirmation for the person who submitted.
- Review and Export Form SubmissionsThe Submissions page is your inbox for everything people send through forms.
- Save a PDF of Every Submission to the Contact RecordWith Generate Submission Document on, Vendi Today builds a printable PDF of each form, survey or quiz response and files it with the contact.
- Track Views, Responses and Drop-Off With AnalyticsThe Analytics page shows how forms and surveys perform so you can fix weak spots.
- Send Form and Survey Answers to Google SheetsYou can copy past answers out as a file, or have each new answer land in a spreadsheet row automatically. They are two separate methods.
- Embed a Form on Your Own WebsiteYou can show a Vendi Today form on a site built elsewhere, such as Squarespace, Wix, Shopify, WordPress or Duda, so visitors never leave your page and leads still arrive in Contacts.
- Control When and How an Embedded Form AppearsEmbed settings decide the form's shape on your page and when it shows or retires, so you can run focused campaigns.
- Capture Leads From Forms Built on Other PlatformsExternal Tracking watches your outside website and sends form submissions into Contacts automatically, without connectors or manual mapping.
Payments in Forms & Surveys
- Accept Donations and Custom Amounts in FormsThe Payment element, found under Integrations in the Add Element panel, lets a form collect money directly, whether for donations, deposits or open-ended amounts.
- Sell Products From a Form or SurveyThe Sell Products element turns a form or survey into an order form, with prices, images, variants and checkout.
- Add Order Bumps to Forms and SurveysAn order bump is a small add-on offered at checkout, such as a rush service or an extra guide, that the buyer can add with one tick.
- Offer a One-Click Upsell After a Form PurchaseAn upsell presents another product right after a form purchase. The buyer accepts with one click because their payment details are reused.
- Skip Card Entry on Free OrdersFree offers convert better without a card field. The Require Credit Card setting hides payment details when an order truly costs nothing.
Surveys
- Find and Export Survey ResponsesEvery completed survey creates a submission record, and answers to mapped fields also update the contact.
- Customize the Survey Footer and Progress BarThe footer holds the Previous, Next and Submit buttons plus progress. Styling it makes surveys feel like part of your brand.
- Capture Contacts Before a Survey Is FinishedMany people abandon long surveys. Create Contact on Partial Submission saves their details as soon as they pass the first slide, so you still have a lead.
- Show One Question Per ScreenEach field then sits on its own slide, in the builder as well as for visitors.
- Branch Survey Paths With Conditional Logic and Jump ToLogic lets one survey act like several, depending on answers.
Quizzes
- Build a Quiz From Scratch or From a TemplateA quiz collects contact details, scores answers, and shows each person a tailored result. It is an effective way to segment leads and start the right follow-up.
- Score Answers and Group Them Into CategoriesScoring turns answers into numbers so the quiz can grade, segment or recommend.
- Create Personality-Style Quizzes With Custom Category ResultsPersonality-style quizzes sort people into a type, such as a style, archetype or skill, based on their highest category. Using the lowest category instead highlights a weak spot.
- Arrange the Result Page and Set Score TiersThe result page is what each quiz taker sees at the end. Section controls and score tiers let you shape it without rebuilding.
- Save Quiz Results to Contact FieldsMapping writes each person's score, tier and winning category into their contact record, so you can segment and personalize without manual tagging.
- Start a Workflow When a Quiz Is SubmittedThe Quiz Submitted trigger enrolls a contact in a workflow the moment they finish a quiz, so follow-up is immediate and personal.
Website Basics and Publishing
- Websites Overview and SetupA Vendi Today Website is a multi-page site you build inside Sites: business homepages, service pages, contact pages and informational content. It uses the same builder as funnels, so sections, rows, columns, elements,...
- Save, Draft and Publish Funnels and WebsitesVendi Today separates saving your work from making it live. That means you can edit freely, have teammates review, and publish only when a version is approved.
- Import a Page from Another Funnel or WebsiteInstead of rebuilding a page that already exists in Vendi Today, you can import it as a new step in a funnel or a new page in a website.
- Import a Page from ClickFunnelsIf you are moving over from ClickFunnels, you can bring standard pages into a Vendi Today funnel without rebuilding each design by hand. The importer works with both ClickFunnels 1.0 and 2.0 pages.
- Set Up a Custom 404 PageWhen someone opens a link that no longer exists, a branded 404 page can guide them back to useful content instead of showing a generic error.
- Connect a Domain Automatically with Domain ConnectDomain Connect adds the DNS records for you when your domain is registered with a supported provider, so you do not have to edit records by hand.
- Set Up 301 URL RedirectsA 301 redirect permanently sends visitors and search engines from an old address to a new one, so renamed or moved pages never lead to a dead end.
Design Elements and Styling
- Add an Image Slider to a PageThe Image Slider element turns a set of pictures into a swipeable carousel, which is handy for portfolios, product shots, testimonials and before-and-after galleries.
- Add Social Media IconsThe Social Icons element lets you place linked icons for your social profiles without writing code or building a bar by hand.
- Use a Video Background in a SectionYou can play a muted looping video behind the content of any section, row or column for a modern, high-impact look.
- Use Prebuilt ElementsPrebuilt elements are ready-made design pieces in the left design bar, so you can drop in polished components instead of starting from scratch.
- Add Entrance and Hover AnimationsAnimations make text, images and buttons feel alive. They play as the visitor scrolls the element into view, and some react to the cursor.
- Add Box and Text ShadowsShadows add depth. A soft shadow can make a card feel raised, while an inner shadow can make a field look recessed.
- Set Font WeightFont weight controls how thin or heavy text looks. You can set it for individual components and choose different weights on mobile and desktop.
- Format Text with the Block EditorThe Block Editor is the text-formatting toolbar inside text elements. Use it for manual tweaks like bolding, bullets and fonts without leaving the canvas.
- Build a Photo GalleryThe Photo Gallery element displays a collection of images in a clean grid or masonry layout, with a lightbox that opens pictures at full size.
- Set Image Dimensions for Mobile and DesktopYou can give an image one size on desktop and another on phones, which keeps pages sharp, balanced and fast to load.

- Create a Mega MenuA mega menu is a large panel that opens when a visitor hovers over a menu item. It can hold images, text and several columns of links, making it ideal for sites with many pages.
- Scroll to a Section on the Same PageScroll links make long pages easier to navigate. A click on a button, text link, image or menu item sends the visitor smoothly to a chosen section.
- Click-to-Call, Text and Email Links and ButtonsA tap can open your visitor's phone dialer, messaging app or email program with your details already filled in. It removes friction, especially on mobile.
- Show and Hide Elements with a ButtonA button can reveal hidden content or hide something on the page when clicked, such as a pricing table, an FAQ answer or a form. It works on both desktop and mobile.
- Add Click Actions to ImagesImages in the builder can do more than look nice. Give them a click action to send visitors to a page, start a call or reveal hidden content.
- Show a Pop-up When a Page LoadsA timed pop-up appears shortly after a visitor lands on the page, without needing a click or scroll. It suits offers, announcements and lead capture.
- Create an Exit-Intent Pop-upAn exit-intent pop-up appears when a visitor's cursor heads toward the browser bar or close button. It gives you a final chance to offer a discount, lead magnet or newsletter signup.
- Run Custom Code After the Page Loads (Hydration Event)If your custom script changes page content, it can run too early and fail because the page is not ready. A built-in event called hydrationDone tells your code exactly when the page has finished loading.
Selling and Checkout
- Add Products to a Funnel or Website PageOrder forms can only charge for items that are attached to the page they sit on. Create your products first under Payments > Products, then attach them as follows.
- Add a Two-Step Order Form to a FunnelA two-step order form splits checkout into two short screens. Step one captures contact and shipping details, and step two takes payment. Shorter screens can reduce form fatigue and raise completion rates.
- Stripe Plan Not Showing in Funnel ProductsIf a subscription you created in Stripe does not appear when you add products to a funnel, it usually has not been imported into Vendi Today yet, or it does not qualify.
- Authorize a Card Before a Subscription PurchaseCard authorization places a small temporary hold on a buyer's card before a subscription or payment plan begins. It filters out cards that cannot be charged. It is off by default and applies only to subscriptions and ...
- Fix the "Something went wrong" Message After a PurchaseBuyers may see "Order successfully placed! However, something went wrong while displaying this webpage, please contact the seller." The payment worked. The page simply has nowhere to send the buyer next.
- Accept Manual Payments in Forms and SurveysManual payments let customers order through a form or survey and pay offline, for example with cash on delivery, a bank transfer or a check.
- Fix the Fingerprint Error in an Order Form Embedded on WordPressIf a funnel order form shown inside a WordPress page displays a fingerprint error, the buyer's browser is blocking the storage the payment step needs.

- Why Updated Contact Fields Do Not Appear on a Funnel PageYou may use a custom field on a funnel page, such as a quiz score or estimate, and find it blank even though the contact record shows a value. This comes down to where the page reads its data.

Blog Setup & Publishing
- Moving From the Original Blog to the Updated BlogVendi Today now offers an updated blog system that replaces the older blog element once built into individual funnels and websites. This article explains what changed and how to move your content across.
- Create a BlogA blog in Vendi Today is a container for your articles, with its own look, URL and settings. You can create more than one, for example a company news blog and a customer tips blog.
- Write and Publish a Blog PostThe post editor combines writing tools, media, optional AI help and search settings in one flow.
- Blog and Post Statuses ExplainedStatuses control what visitors can see and when. There are two levels: the blog itself, and each post inside it.
- Edit or Update a Published or Draft PostYou can revise any post after it has been saved, whether it is still a draft or already live. Content and settings are edited in two separate places.
- Add Authors to Your BlogAuthors must exist in the blog builder before you can assign them to a post. Setting up a profile once lets you reuse it across many articles and gives readers an author page.
- Preview a Blog Post Before PublishingA preview shows how your article will look to readers on desktop and mobile, so you can catch layout problems before going live.
- Schedule a Blog Post for LaterScheduling lets you write several articles in one sitting and release them over days or weeks without logging in on each publish day.

- Bulk Import Blog Posts From a CSV FileIf you are moving from another platform, a spreadsheet export is the quickest way to bring in many posts at once.
- Use Auto-Save in the Blog EditorAuto-Save stores your edits as you type, protecting against browser crashes, lost connections and accidentally closed tabs.
- Restore Deleted Blog PostsDeleted posts are not gone right away. They move to a **Deleted** state where they can be recovered for 30 days.
Blog Design, SEO & Growth

SEO Tools & Search Visibility
- Getting Started With the SEO ToolsThe SEO area in Vendi Today brings site auditing, keyword research, rank tracking, content help and local ranking maps into one place, so you do not need separate subscriptions for the basics.
- Monitor a Website With Site Projects and AuditsA Site Project is the home base for one website. It shows how strong the site is, how much search traffic it earns and which technical problems are holding it back.
- Review and Apply AI SEO RecommendationsAI Recommendations scans your pages for issues such as weak title tags, missing meta descriptions and images without alt text, then proposes a fix you can apply with one click.
- Research Keywords and Track Your RankingsChoose the words people actually search, then watch how your pages move for them over time.
- Track Local Search Rankings With HeatmapsIf customers find you by searching "near me", your ranking can differ from street to street. A heatmap shows exactly where you appear across your service area.
- Plan and Write Search-Friendly ContentContent Genius is an editor that scores your writing against what ranks well, and the Content Planner turns one topic into a roadmap of related articles.
- Cancel the SEO Subscription and What Happens to Your ProjectsCanceling stops the active automation but keeps what you have already improved.
- Delete an SEO Site ProjectDeleting a project frees a slot so you can monitor a different website. It is permanent.

Webinars

- Understand Webinar Video AnalyticsWebinar analytics show who registered, who showed up, how long they stayed and when they left, for live, on-demand and recurring events.
Chat Widget Setup & Installation
- Getting Started With the Chat WidgetThe chat widget is a small messenger you place on your website so visitors can reach you the moment a question comes up. Every message lands in **Conversations**, so your team replies from the same inbox they already ...
- Send Website Visitors to WhatsApp With the Chat WidgetThe WhatsApp chat type gives visitors a one-click path from your website into a WhatsApp conversation with your business.
- Install the Chat Widget and Get Notified of New ChatsThis guide covers putting a widget on a Vendi Today site and making sure your team is alerted when someone writes in.
- Add the Chat Widget to Wix, Shopify, Squarespace, Duda or WeeblyIf your public site lives on another builder, you can still use your Vendi Today chat widget by pasting its embed code.
- Run Several Chat Widgets on Different Sites and PagesYou can create as many widgets as you need, each with its own look, channels and messages, while all conversations still arrive in one inbox.
- Set Up the All-in-One Chat WidgetThe All-in-One widget puts several ways to reach you behind one chat bubble. Visitors choose the channel that suits them, and you manage one widget instead of many.
- Embed Live Chat Inside Your Page ContentInstead of a floating bubble, an embedded live chat sits inside your page layout. This works well next to a pricing table, a booking form or a contact section.
Chat Widget Customization & Features
- Customize How Your Chat Widget Looks and BehavesCustomization settings decide what visitors see, where the widget sits and when it loads. Options vary slightly by chat type.
- Set Business Hours for Live ChatBusiness hours stop visitors from waiting on a chat nobody is watching. Outside your hours, the widget switches to collecting contact details instead.
- Track Chat Widget Activity in Google Analytics 4If your site already uses Google Analytics 4, you can see how visitors interact with your chat widget without extra tools.
- Add Custom Fields to the Chat Widget Contact FormFor the SMS/Email and WhatsApp chat types, you can collect more than a name and message by adding your own contact fields to the form.
- Collect Visitor Details Before Live Chat StartsA contact form in front of live chat ensures every conversation is tied to a Contact, so you can follow up even if the visitor leaves.
- Let Visitors Send Files and Voice Notes in Live ChatVisitors can share a screenshot, a PDF or a quick voice recording instead of typing a long explanation. Your team sees everything in **Conversations**.
- Pre-Fill the Message Field in Your Chat WidgetA prefilled message gives every new conversation a clear opening line while personal details stay on the contact record.
- Turn the Chat Widget Notification Sound On or OffThe notification sound helps visitors notice new messages while they browse. It applies to Live Chat and All-in-One widgets.
- Protect Your Chat Widget From Spam and BotsSpam protection quietly spots suspicious form submissions, tags them and pauses outbound messages, without adding a CAPTCHA for real visitors.
Voice AI, Social & Automated Chat
- Set Up the Voice AI Chat WidgetThe Voice AI chat widget lets a visitor talk to your AI agent right in their browser. There is no phone number or app involved, which makes it a low-friction way to qualify leads.
- Embed a Voice AI Chat Widget Inside Your PageAn embedded Voice AI widget appears as part of your page content instead of a floating bubble, so it can feel like a natural section of a landing or service page.
- Add Facebook and Instagram Chat WidgetsThese widget types send website visitors to Messenger or an Instagram direct message so the conversation continues on the platform they already use. Replies still arrive in **Conversations**.
- Automate What Happens When Someone Replies in ChatA workflow can act the moment a visitor writes through your All-in-One widget: acknowledge, tag, assign, alert or escalate.
- Collect Separate Marketing and Informational Text ConsentIf your business sends both promotional texts and service updates, you can register one messaging program that asks visitors to opt in to each kind separately.
Domains, Troubleshooting & Fixes
- Connect a Root Domain or Subdomain to Your SitesUsing your own address for websites, funnels, stores, blogs and webinars looks professional and builds trust.
- Which Domain Setup Do You Need?Vendi Today uses domains for several purposes, and each one has its own DNS records. Choosing the right setup first avoids conflicts.
- Why Your Domain Does Not Show the Edit ButtonIf you cannot find the **Edit** button for a domain's default page, the cause is usually where you are looking, not a bug.
- Sticky Contact Not Working Between a Form and CalendarSticky contact remembers a visitor, so details they typed into a form can pre-fill the calendar booking, or the reverse. If it stops working, the two pieces are probably built differently.
- Why a Popup Button Shows a Red MarkA red mark on a button that opens a popup is the editor's way of telling you the popup is currently switched off, so visitors who click it would see nothing happen.
- Fixed or Parallax Background Not Showing on a PhoneA background image set to scroll with a parallax effect may look fine on a computer but fail to display on an iPhone or iPad. This is a limitation in how iOS browsers draw fixed backgrounds, not a problem with your pa...
Stores, Portal, Privacy & Custom Objects
- The Unified Client PortalThe unified Client Portal gives your customers one place, with one login and one menu, for their dashboard, courses, communities, billing, shared files and account settings.
- Use Custom Objects and Companies in Forms, Surveys and QuizzesSome information does not fit on a contact record, such as a property, a pet or a vehicle. Custom Objects store that data in its own records and link them to contacts.
- Bulk Import Custom Object Records From a CSVImport many records at once instead of typing them in one by one, with options to create, update or do both.
- Build a Custom Product Page for Your Online StoreA custom product details page lets you design a unique page for one product with its own story, media and upsells, while the rest of your store keeps the standard layout.
- Link Your Privacy Policy Wherever You Collect DataWhenever you collect names, phone numbers or emails, tell people how you use them. A visible privacy policy link is often required by privacy laws and by text-messaging carriers. This article is general information, n...
Advanced Builder & Page Tweaks
- Styling Borders: Per-Side Widths, Corners and StylesThe Border panel gives you one place to frame buttons, images, videos and other supported elements, from a thin accent line to a heavy outlined box.
- Building Multi-Column Designs with Nested LayoutsNested Layouts let you place one layout container inside another, which gives you detailed control over columns, spacing and responsive behavior without custom CSS.
- Switching Radio Buttons and Checkboxes to Bubble StyleBubble style replaces the standard small circles and squares on choice fields with larger, rounded "bubbles". They are easier to tap and give forms, surveys and quizzes a friendlier look.
- Auditing Consent Text Across Your Forms, Surveys and Chat WidgetsThe consent audit scans your lead capture points for standard opt-in language, shows where something is missing, and lets you correct many assets at once. It saves checking each asset by hand.
- Choosing Product Image Layouts and Zoom for Product PagesOn a store's Product Details page you decide how photos and videos are laid out and how shoppers zoom into them. Settings live in the Product Details element in the store's page builder and apply to default and custom…
- Unexpected Text Showing Near an Embedded CalendarSometimes odd lines such as unrelated business names, "demo reviews" or "free trial" appear near a booking calendar you embedded. They usually are not from the calendar code. They sit in the page around it.
