Form
A Form is a definition of intake questions, the thing a Patient actually fills out. A Form is made up of ordered questions (text, choice, date, signature, matrix, and other question types), and belongs to one Team.
Read-only via API
Forms are authored and edited in the Zentake dashboard, not through the public API. The API exposes list and retrieve only. There is no create/update/delete endpoint for forms.
Key fields
| Field | Notes |
|---|---|
id | Read-only |
name | Internal name, used in the dashboard |
text | Patient-facing name, shown when the form is sent |
enabled | Whether the form can currently be sent |
created_at, updated_at | Read-only |
questions | Ordered array of questions on the form |
Each entry in questions has: id, question_type (an object with
question_type / question_subtype, e.g. text, choice, signature, matrix),
text, help_text, and order.
Lifecycle
- A team builds a Form in the Zentake dashboard, adding pages, questions, required fields, required signatures, and conditional logic.
- The Form is
enabledwhen it's ready to send, either directly or as part of a Packet. - Sending it (via a Message) and having a patient complete it produces a Response, one Response per Form submission.
- A Form can be reused indefinitely; each submission is its own Response.
