# Send a Form

> Send a modal form to collect input from a user.

Send a Form opens a Discord modal so users can submit structured input.

## What it does

Shows a popup form with text inputs, paragraphs, and selects you design in the form editor. After submit, field values are available as flow variables.

## Configuration

Open the block in the builder sidebar to configure these fields.

### `edit_form`

**Type:** `button`. Required.

Open the visual form editor to add fields and validation.

### `save_user_var`

**Type:** `string`.

Stores submitter Discord id as `{vars.name}`. Each field is also `{vars.<field_id}`.

### `save_channel_id_var`

**Type:** `string`.

Stores the channel id where the modal opened.

## Example workflow

1. **Configure fields** — Add short text, paragraph, or select inputs with custom ids.
2. **Send the form** — Typically placed after a button click or command response.
3. **Handle submit** — Connect blocks after the form to read `{vars.field_id}` values.

## Tips

* Field custom ids become variable names. Use lowercase ids without spaces.
