# Forms
## What is a form?
In Rewst, every automation starts with a single click. *Forms* are powerful tools used to collect the information your workflows need to start. They streamline the data collection process by gathering key details from users such as names, dates, or options. Forms can be manually created, or added as part of [Crate unpacking](https://docs.rewst.help/prebuilt-automations/crates#unpack-a-crate).
Rewst's form functionality is designed to empower users with the tools to build interactive, responsive, and customizable forms.
## Why use forms?
Forms collect data in one simple step, reducing manual data entry and saving you time. They can also function as triggers in Rewst when building workflows, allowing for seamless transitions and increased efficiency.
Expand the reach of your forms by embedding them into various web pages, providing increased accessibility to users. Tailor forms to specific scenarios through cloning and modification, ensuring the right fit for every situation.
## View forms in Rewst
Access all forms, be they manually created by you or obtained as part of unpacking Crates, by navigating to **Automations > Forms** in the left side menu.

### Export and import forms
You can export a form to share with other Rewst customers, or create your own hard copies of form backups. To export a form as a JSON bundle, **click ⋮ > Export** next to your relevant form in the total form list.
To import a form bundled as a JSON file, click  in the top right navigation bar of the forms page. Then, drag and drop your file into the upload dialog that appears.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.rewst.help/~/revisions/NKuMB6P3c2BrbIPMBZPT/documentation/automations/forms.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
