Form Settings
Form settings control how your form behaves beyond its visual design and fields. Configure submission limits, schedule open/close windows, set data retention policies, and customize the closed-form experience.
Accessing settings
- Open your form in the builder
- Click Settings (gear icon) in the top bar
Submission settings
Submission limits
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Max submissions | Stop accepting responses after N submissions (e.g., event registration with 100 seats) |
| One per person | Limit to one submission per email address or browser |
| Limit per IP | Max submissions from the same IP address (prevents spam) |
Closed form message
When the form is closed (manually or by reaching a limit), visitors see a customizable message:
| Setting | Default |
|---|---|
| Heading | "This form is no longer accepting responses" |
| Message | "Thank you for your interest. The form is currently closed." |

Scheduling
Open and close your form automatically:
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Open date | Form starts accepting submissions at this date/time |
| Close date | Form stops accepting submissions at this date/time |
| Timezone | Which timezone the dates use |
Use scheduling for time-limited campaigns, application windows, or event registrations.

Access settings
Password protection
Require a password to access the form:

Allowed domains
Restrict where the form can be embedded:
| Setting | Description |

| Allowlist | Only specified IP ranges can access the form |
| Blocklist | Block specific IPs or ranges |
Custom domain
Serve your forms from your own domain (e.g., forms.yourcompany.com):
- Go to Settings → Custom Domain
- Enter your subdomain (e.g.,
forms.yourcompany.com) - Add the CNAME record to your DNS:
forms.yourcompany.com → forms.tinycommand.com - Click Verify. DNS propagation may take up to 48 hours
- Once verified, your forms are accessible at
forms.yourcompany.com/your-form-slug
Custom domains include automatic SSL certificate provisioning.
SEO settings
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Page title | Browser tab title for full-page forms |
| Meta description | Description for search engines |
| Favicon | Custom browser tab icon |
| Open Graph image | Preview image when the form URL is shared on social media |
| noindex | Prevent search engines from indexing this form |
Confirmation settings
What happens after submission:
| Setting | Options |
|---|---|
| Thank you page | Show a built-in thank you page (customizable heading + message) |
| Redirect | Redirect to a custom URL after submission |
| Another submission | Show a "Submit another response" button |
| Close | Close the form (for popup/slider embeds) |
For event registrations, set a max submission limit equal to your capacity. Combine with scheduling to automatically open registration at a specific time and close when seats fill up or the deadline passes.
Changing data retention settings only affects future submissions. Existing submissions are not retroactively deleted. To delete existing data, use the bulk delete option in the Responses tab.
