# How do I fill a list automatically with a form in Sarbacane Contacts?

Link a Sarbacane Forms form to a list so every new response is added to it, with no import.

To have everyone who fills in your form added directly to a Sarbacane Contacts list, choose that list in the **Replies** step when you create the form in Sarbacane Forms. Five steps, and no more imports to do afterwards.

## Prerequisites

-   Access to Sarbacane Forms and Sarbacane Contacts.
    
-   To use an existing list, it must already exist in Sarbacane Contacts. Otherwise, the form can create one.
    

## Steps

1.  In the left menu of Sarbacane Forms, click the **+** icon, then **New form**.
    
2.  In the submenu that opens on the right, choose **Dedicated page form** or **Pop-up form**.
    
3.  In the **Templates** step, click a template, or the first thumbnail to start from scratch. The **Replies** step opens.
    
4.  Under "Where should the answers be recorded?", select **In an existing list**, then choose your list in **Select list**. To create a list at the same time, select **In a new list** instead and give it a name.
    

**Best practice**: in the same step, turn on **Activate the confirmation request (double optin)**. Each new contact then confirms their email address before being taken into account.

5.  At the top right, click **Next** to go through the **Form** and **Success message** steps, then publish the form at the end.
    

## Expected result

Each form response adds the contact to the chosen list. If the email address already exists in the list, the contact is updated with the new information.

To see the forms linked to a list: in the left menu of Sarbacane Contacts, open **Contact lists**, click **•••** in the list's Actions column, then **Manage forms**.

**Note**: once the form is online, you can publish or unpublish it at any time with the toggle under its thumbnail, in **My forms**.

## Troubleshooting

### "Manage forms" is greyed out

No form is linked to this list. Link one by following the steps above.

### A contact does not appear twice in the list

When the email address already exists in the list, the contact is updated instead of being added a second time.

### I can't find "Create a form" in Sarbacane Contacts

A form is linked to a list from Sarbacane Forms, in the **Replies** step (step 4 above).

### Responses don't reach the list

First check that the form is published (toggle on in **My forms**), then that the form appears in **Manage forms** for this list. If the problem persists, contact customer service.
