You can use Google Forms with Ghost as a free, embedded contact form to collect information from readers.

Whether you just want to give people a way to contact you, or you’re running a full blown survey which you need to collect data for - Google Forms is a great way to support contact forms in Ghost. Getting a working form on your site should take just a few minutes once you’ve finished making your form.

To get started, head over to [Google Forms](https://forms.google.com/) and make a new form.

## Create a new form and send

Once you’ve customised the form to work how you’d like, click on the send button.

## Get the embed code from the send window

From within the send window, select the **Send via** `< >` tab, and copy the code

## Within the Ghost editor, add an HTML card

You can paste the form code within an HTML card on any page to embed your form

## Add some automation to submissions

If you’d like your form to work harder for you, it’s also possible to add automation by using [Zapier](https://zapier.com/) to process your form submissions. Here are a few starting points to give you an idea of how to set things up:
