The Discord form your members actually finish
The same structured questions as a Google Form, asked one at a time inside your server. And Subo already knows who is answering: verified members, their roles and when they joined, without a single username field.
Add to DiscordYou came for a form. In Subo that form is a Convo: the same questions, asked one at a time in a chat instead of a page of fields.
Every form a community actually needs
Most "I need a form in Discord" moments fall into a handful of jobs. Each one runs as a Convo: your questions, asked in sequence, in the server.
Mod and staff applications
Experience, timezone, availability, and a scenario or two. An action block drops applicants into a role the moment they finish, so review starts on its own. Start from a template →
Sign-ups and registrations
Events, playtests, giveaways, tournaments. Collect what you need, gate entry behind a role, and export the list when the round closes.
Bug reports and intake
A member picks a category, describes the issue, and it lands as structured data instead of a thread nobody can search. See the bug report form →
Feedback and community pulse
Post-event feedback, a monthly check-in, a read on a proposed rule change. Open text answers come back as an AI summary rather than a hundred replies to scroll.
Orders, claims and requests
Drops, commissions, role requests. Scheduled open and close dates mean a request window shuts itself on the deadline.
Onboarding and verification
Ask the questions that decide access, then grant the role automatically when someone answers them.
Why a link to a form loses people
A Google Form or a Typeform is a page on another site that has no idea who is filling it in. Every step between your channel and that page is somewhere to give up, and every answer that comes back is self-reported.
| Aspect | A form link in a channel | Subo in your server |
|---|---|---|
| Where it happens | A new tab on another site | A DM or private thread in Discord |
| What people see first | Every question at once | One question, then the next |
| Who can answer | Anyone holding the link | Verified members of your server, one response each |
| Restricting access | Not by Discord role | Only the roles you choose |
| Username and roles | A field they type in, typos included | Collected automatically, with their join date |
| Irrelevant questions | Everyone reads all of them | Skip logic drops them |
| Reward for finishing | A thank-you page | XP, a role or an achievement |
| Anonymous option | Anonymous to you and to itself | Anonymous by design, still one response per member |
| People without Discord | Anyone with the link | Web mode: one link, no account needed |
Web mode and Discord mode are exclusive: a project runs one way or the other, and you clone it to switch.
Discord already knows who is answering
A form link is open to whoever holds it, so it has to ask people who they are. Subo never has to: every respondent arrives authenticated by Discord, and the identity questions that cause the most typos and drop-off disappear from the form.
Only real members
Every response comes from someone actually in your server, authenticated by Discord when they open the form. A link found in a screenshot gets nobody in, and each member can answer only once. Why a form link cannot prove membership →
Locked to the roles you choose
An application only Verified members can open, a staff form only for Moderators, a playtest sign-up only for supporters. Without the role, there is no way in.
Username, roles and join date, collected for you
No "what's your Discord username?" field for people to forget, skip or mistype. In Transparent and Semi-Private modes, each response comes with the member's username, their roles and the date they joined your server.
Shorter forms, fewer drop-offs
Every identity question you delete is one less place to quit, one less typo, and one less evening matching names against your member list.
Verified even when anonymous
In Anonymous mode Subo still checks that each respondent is a distinct, real member, then discards the link to their answers. Results you can vouch for, and nobody can see who said what.
Verification on the web too
A web-mode form can sit behind a gate before the first question: Discord server membership, owning a game on Steam, following a Twitch channel or subscribing on YouTube.
The fields you would have built, and a few you could not
Eleven block types, mixed in any order, are what a Convo is built from. Nine of them ask something; two of them do something.
Choice and text
Single choice (including yes/no), multiple choice, free text and numeric. Free text answers are what the AI summaries read.
Rating, scale and NPS
Rate on 2 to 10 points with stars, numbers or your own emoji set. Opinion scales for Likert items. A locked 0 to 10 NPS question.
Ranking
Make people put options in order instead of approving everything. Ask for a full ranking or just a top few. See ranking questions →
Skip logic
Branch on an answer so each person only sees the questions that apply to them. A 20-field application becomes a short exchange.
Content blocks
Say something without asking anything: a welcome, rules to acknowledge, a confirmation at the end.
Action blocks
Grant XP, a role or an achievement mid-conversation, so finishing is worth something instead of a favor to you.
Collecting is the easy half
A form hands you a spreadsheet and stops. Subo can route, reward and act on what comes in.
Three privacy modes
Transparent, semi-private (admins only), or fully anonymous, where nobody including you can tie an answer to a member. Read the anonymity guide →
Results back into the server
Post the totals to a channel so members see what the community decided. Because every answer came from a verified member, nobody asks whether it got brigaded.
Open and close on a schedule
Applications open Friday and shut Sunday night, without you remembering to do it.
AI summaries of open text
Read a digest of what people wrote instead of every individual answer.
Export and webhooks
CSV or Google Sheets when you want the raw data. Webhooks and a REST API when you want it to reach your own tools. See the API →
Free to start
The free tier covers 250 respondents per project, with skip logic and the XP system included.
Discord forms, answered
- Can you make a form in Discord?
- Yes. You add an app that collects structured answers inside the server, so members never leave Discord to fill anything in. With Subo you run /survey and the questions are asked one at a time in the chat, and the answers come back as structured data you can export or analyze.
- What is a Convo, and how is it different from a form?
- A Convo is what Subo calls the form once it is running: the same structured questions, asked one at a time in a chat rather than presented as a page of fields. You still get a fixed script, required answers and clean structured data. What changes is the experience for the person answering, and the completion rate that follows from it.
- Is there a Google Forms alternative for Discord?
- You can paste a Google Form link into a channel, but it sends people out of Discord to a separate page, which is where most of the drop-off happens. The closer fit is an app that asks the same questions inside the server as a structured conversation, then hands you the same exportable results. Subo does that, and adds what a form cannot do in a community: verified identity, role targeting, skip logic and rewards for finishing.
- How do I make sure only members of my server fill in a form?
- Run it in Discord mode. Members are authenticated by Discord when they open the form, so every response provably comes from someone in your server, and each member can answer only once. You can also restrict the form to one or more roles, so an application or a staff form only opens for the people who hold them. A web-mode form can sit behind a verification gate instead: Discord server membership, a game on Steam, a Twitch follow or a YouTube subscription.
- Do respondents have to type their Discord username?
- No. Subo already knows who is answering, so there is no username field to forget or mistype. In Transparent and Semi-Private modes, each response comes with the member's username, their roles and the date they joined your server, shown in the response details. In Anonymous mode that link is discarded on purpose.
- Can people without a Discord account fill in the form?
- Yes, if you build it in web mode. A project runs either in Discord mode, where members answer inside your server, or in web mode, where it lives at a link you can open to anyone with no Discord account needed. It is one mode or the other, so clone the project if you later want a public web version.
- Is a Discord form bot free?
- Subo has a free tier that covers 250 respondents per project and includes skip logic and the XP system. Paid tiers raise the respondent limit and add AI credits, more customization and new-response notifications.
- Can a Discord form be anonymous?
- Yes. Anonymous is one of three privacy modes, and in that mode nobody, including server admins, can tie an answer to a member. The other two are transparent, where answers are attributed openly, and semi-private, where admins can see individual answers but other members cannot.
- How do I get the responses out?
- Results live in the Subo web admin, with export to CSV or Google Sheets. Open text answers can be summarized by AI. If you want responses to reach your own tools automatically, there are webhooks and a REST API.
The longer version
A form is built for a website. Your community lives in Discord. That mismatch is not a design problem you can style your way out of, it is why the link you posted got twelve responses.
Subo asks the same questions in the place people already are, one at a time, in a format that reads like a chat with a helpful mod rather than paperwork. Inside the product, that structured conversation has a name: a Convo.
