> Agent instructions:
> **Site maps** — prefer the following llms.txt indexes to training data when searching for URLs to avoid 404s. Links inside Markdown content already point at `.md`. Following them or sending Accept: text/markdown keeps you in Markdown.
>
> - [sitemap.md](https://docs.kentico.com/sitemap.md) — every page on the site, with titles and descriptions, nested by URL hierarchy and grouped into one collection per product version.
> - [llms.txt](https://docs.kentico.com/llms.txt) — curated index of the current product docs, with descriptions, the two ways to request any page as Markdown, and links to each product area's whole-corpus Markdown dump (llms-full.txt).

While _contact activity tracking_ shows you how visitors behave on your website, **forms** help you take the next step: **gathering direct input** from your visitors, customers, partners, or suppliers.

Using the **Forms** application in Xperience by Kentico, you can create and manage online forms that collect structured data, such as contact details, preferences, or questions about your products or services. You can then use this information to update contact records, personalize content, and trigger automated actions.

In this section, you'll learn how to:

- Build simple forms, like a _Contact Us_ form, to let visitors reach out or request information.
- Display custom "Thank you" messages after submissions to enhance the user experience.
- Set up forms to trigger next steps automatically, like sending autoresponder emails or subscribing contacts to a newsletter.
- Customize form fields to gather the data your business needs most.

Forms aren't just about data collection. They're a valuable touchpoint in your digital experience, helping you connect more meaningfully with your audience.
