Form examples
Build any form: registrations, bookings, check-ins, surveys, quizzes, calculations and more.
Forms that become Odoo records
Most form tools collect your data somewhere else, then leave you to bridge it back — exports, Zapier, manual re-keying.
Nova Forms (by Nova Code) is built the other way around: forms live inside Odoo, and every submission becomes a clean record in your own database — automatically.
Customize without touching core Odoo
Many custom fields and logic don't need to live in core Odoo. When a form can capture them and link straight to the Odoo record, you keep the core clean and upgrade-friendly.
Move that customization into no-code, upgrade-safe forms where it fits: less custom development where you don't need it, fewer regressions, lower cost.
And if you ever need those custom Odoo fields or logic, you can add them later and populate them from (existing and new) form submissions.
One-time, not monthly.

Everything included
| Build & design — no code needed | |
| 30+ field types & logic |
Build anything from a quick contact form to a complex multi-page survey — no limits.
• 30+ field types: text, choice, datetime, rating, slider, matrix, file upload, signature and more. • Conditional logic (show/hide, skip, branching), validation, calculated values and dynamic panels & matrices. • Form designs are standard SurveyJS JSON — portable and upgrade-proof, never locked in. |
| Form Builder |
Design forms visually — no code, no developer needed.
• Powerful drag & drop Form Builder (SurveyJS Creator) packed with features. • Every form design lives safely in your Odoo database as a form builder record. |
| Themes & Styling |
Make every form match your brand — no CSS required (but it's possible).
• Pick from built-in themes or create and save your own. • Customize background, colors, fonts, header, logo and appearance right in the Form Builder. • Apply a theme across one or more Form Builders. See the Themes & Styling section below for examples. |
| Highly configurable |
Tailor every form to your needs — all from the Form Builder, no code required.
• Publish to backend, portal, website or embedded on a 3rd-party site. • Post-submission redirect, reminder rules and more — per form. • Sensible defaults out of the box — fine-tune only what you need. |
| Publish & use everywhere | |
| Forms — build once, use everywhere |
Build a form once — publish and use it everywhere, with every response stored in Odoo.
• Create, deploy, publish and share a form: internally, portal, website, embedded on a 3rd-party website, by email or a hyperlink. • The same form works everywhere — backend, portal, website and embedded — build and maintain it just once. • Assign forms to a (portal) user and send an invitation by mail. • View a submission anywhere (backend, portal, website, embedded), where access allows. • All submissions are stored in your Odoo database as form submission records. |
| Website — Drag & drop Form block (snippet) |
This requires the Forms • Website Snippet module:
https://apps.odoo.com/apps/modules/19.0/website_formio_snippet
A redirect after submission can also be configured. |
| Embedded Forms — on external websites |
• Embedding a Form on an external website is just a copy/paste of a HTML snippet.
• A redirect after submission can also be configured. |
| Captcha — spam & bot protection for public forms |
Protect public (unauthenticated) forms against automated submissions — enable it per form with a single setting.
• Powered by a privacy-first, included captcha — no external service, no tracking, no cookies (GDPR-friendly). • Invisible to the visitor and accessible (WCAG 2.2 AA); verified server-side on submit. • Works on website and embedded forms. |
| Multilingual & Translations management |
• Forms and Builders are multilingual.
• Language-switch buttons are automatically available in the form and form builder. • Manage custom translations (e.g. labels, select choices, buttons) in the Form Builder. • The default language is automatically determined by: website or logged in (portal) user. • If the website is enabled, the language (translations) also react upon the website language-switch. |
| Integrate & automate with Odoo | |
| Odoo apps |
Connect Forms to the rest of your Odoo — the possibilities are unlimited.
• Integrate with any app: CRM, Helpdesk, Sales, HR, Inventory, e-commerce, Website and more. • Ready-made integration modules to get you started — explore them via the "Nova Code" author link at the top. |
| Record Mapping (create or update records) |
• Create or update (upsert) Odoo records from a Form submission, by simple configuration in the Form Builder — no code. • Map form fields onto a target model's fields; match an existing record (upsert) or always create a new one. • Dropdowns map to Many2one (incl. relation lookup), and Dynamic Matrix / Panel rows map to One2many child records. • Configure one or more record mappings per form — chain them so a later mapping can use a record created by an earlier one. Examples: • Create or update a Contact (res.partner) from a registration form. • Create a CRM Lead and link it to the Contact created by an earlier mapping. This requires the Forms • Components API module:
https://apps.odoo.com/apps/modules/19.0/formio_components_api
Note: from Odoo 20, this will be included in this (formio) module. |
| Server Action(s) to process a Form submission |
For advanced or custom processing of Form submissions with Python code — beyond what no-code Record Mapping (above) covers. Server Actions can be implemented to process Form submissions. See also the section about Server Actions below. Form submission fields (values) can be read and used as fields for an Odoo model record. Examples: • Create a CRM Lead • Create a Helpdesk Ticket • Create or update a Stock Picking (receipt, delivery) • Create a Sign Request document with some placeholders pre-filled by form fields and email the Sign Request link. • Email a PDF report (QWeb generated) from the form submission data. |
| PDF Report Generation |
Generate professional PDF documents from Form submissions out of the box — no code, no developer needed.
• Works on Odoo's native QWeb report engine — full control over layout and branding. • Print or email the generated PDF automatically on submission. • Ideal for confirmations, registrations, certificates and more. • Two report variants included — generate the PDF in the logged-in user's language & locale, or in the partner's language & locale from the form record. This requires the Forms • QWeb Reports module:
https://apps.odoo.com/apps/modules/19.0/formio_report_qweb
|
| Field APIs — pre-fill, change, domain |
Connect form fields to live Odoo data through a set of server-side APIs — available and configurable right in the Form Builder.
• Pre-fill — load and populate field values from Odoo records or any custom source. • Change — react to a field change and update other fields in response. • Domain — filter the choices of a select/dropdown field dynamically. Examples: • For a logged-in portal user, populate form fields with company (parent) details, address, invoices or shipments. • Filter a product select/dropdown by product category or attributes. • On selecting a product, update price, unit or description fields automatically. This requires the Forms • Components API module:
https://apps.odoo.com/apps/modules/19.0/formio_components_api
Note: from Odoo 20, this will be included in this (formio) module. |
| Your data, your control | |
| Full control and data ownership, privacy and compliance | All data is stored in the Odoo database (form builders, form submissions etc). |
| Built for autonomy — no lock-in by design |
• Form designs and submissions are stored as standard SurveyJS JSON — portable to any system that speaks SurveyJS (open source form software). • Migrate them to another SurveyJS-based stack whenever you choose. • Your data is never trapped in a proprietary format. |
| Unlimited |
• Unlimited form builders, forms, submissions and users — all included in one license.
• No tiers, no usage caps, no per-response fees. |
| JSON data |
• A Form Builder (design) is stored as JSON data in the schema field of a form builder record.
• A submitted Form (input data) is stored as JSON data in the submission field of a form record. |
| Fast to deploy, runs anywhere | |
| No iframes — Rendering happens in an encapsulated Shadow DOM |
• Form Builder and Forms render in their own Shadow DOM — fully isolated, with no resizing, style leakage or cross-origin headaches.
• The same applies everywhere — Odoo backend, portal, website, and embedded forms. |
| Hosting types | Works on Odoo.sh or any Linux hosting of your choice. |
| Odoo editions | Compatible with Odoo Enterprise and Community. |
| Installation (app/module in general) | After installation you can start right away. No extra technical requirements or setup. |

| Future-proof & trusted | |
| AI-ready |
Future-proof by design — built to grow with AI.
• Forms and submissions are structured JSON — easy for AI to read, generate and process. • Data lives in standard Odoo models — AI-readiness as Odoo's AI features grow. |
| Upgrade-proof by design |
• Form Builder, Forms and related data migrate seamlessly — stored as JSON, compatible across Odoo versions. • Custom API and Server Action logic may need review on major upgrades. |
| Quality control | Backed by a comprehensive suite of 150+ unit tests, safeguarding stability and reliability — and compatibility across Odoo versions. |
| Nova Code and SurveyJS are EU-based |
Nova Code and SurveyJS [1] are both EU companies. [1] SurveyJS provides the JavaScript libraries that power the Form Builder and Forms. |
| Developer Friendly |
• Extend, customize the Forms modules.
• Develop additional Forms modules. • Develop custom Form fields (questions) e.g. AI prompt, QR-code scanning, map etc. |
| We also open source |
We provide an open source Python package, used in some of the modules, that parses and transforms SurveyJS Form Builder (Creator) schemas and Form responses into usable Python objects. Explore the source code or contribute on GitHub: https://github.com/novacode-nl/python-surveyjs

License
One license — per production database & per major Odoo version. Staging and development copies included.
Contact us for multi-project, reseller and custom licensing.
The Nova Forms App is powered by the SurveyJS form libraries (https://surveyjs.io).
No additional SurveyJS license is needed for normal use
Building, styling, deploying and integrating forms — and using the SurveyJS question types and extensions that ship with Nova Forms — is fully covered.
A separate SurveyJS Survey Creator commercial license (per developer) is only required if you modify or extend SurveyJS itself at the source-code level.
If that applies, contact us at https://www.novaforms.io/contact and we'll help you get it right.
What's new in version >= 19.0.10.0
The Form Builder and Form Renderer are powered by a new engine based on SurveyJS, now the default for all new forms.
SurveyJS is a better fit for modern Odoo versions, enabling richer features, better integrations and a solid long-term foundation.
The module (for Odoo 19.0) ships with a hybrid implementation supporting both engines, so existing forms keep working.
Note:
From Odoo 20.0 onward, the previous engine will no longer be supported and forms (form builders) should be migrated.

Super helpful module and amazing developer support
Nova Forms is a very useful and well-designed module. It makes building and managing complex forms in Odoo much easier, and the integration works smoothly on my website. The documentation and configuration are clear, and the module works well even before using a license key.
Most importantly, the developer is extremely responsive and helpful – my questions about setup and licensing were answered quickly and in detail. I’m very satisfied so far and would highly recommend this module to other Odoo users.
Wow, what a useful module
If you need super customizable forms look no further. Would definitely recommend as it’s already saving us so much time in our operations.
Excellent module with outstanding flexibility
Nova Forms has been a great addition to our Odoo environment. The module is powerful, flexible, and makes it possible to create highly customized forms without complex development work. It covers a wide range of use cases and integrates smoothly with existing Odoo processes.
What impressed us the most is the level of customization available. The form builder is intuitive, while still offering advanced capabilities for more complex business requirements. It has significantly reduced the time needed to implement and maintain custom forms.
The developer support is also exceptional. Questions are answered quickly, solutions are provided efficiently, and the documentation is clear and helpful.
Highly recommended for any Odoo company looking for a professional and reliable form solution.
Game-changer for Odoo
Exceptionally well-built and extremely versatile. The drag-and-drop builder is effortless to use, and the flexibility truly feels unlimited.
