# Start here

**Formify** is a Discord bot and web dashboard for building forms, reviewing submissions, and running support tickets inside your server. This is the official documentation for the Formify Discord bot at [formify.pro](https://formify.pro).

Most people set it up like this:

1. [Add Formify to your server](/getting-started/setup/)
2. Open the [dashboard](https://formify.pro/dashboard) and pick your server
3. [Create a form](/guides/forms/) and publish it to a channel
4. Review responses in Discord or under **Submission Logs**

You can also create basic forms with `/create` in Discord, but the dashboard gives you more control over questions, embeds, roles, and tickets.

## Forms vs tickets (short version)

- A **form** collects answers from members. Submissions land in a review channel (or thread/forum, depending on your settings).
- A **ticket template** opens a private support channel when someone clicks a button or picks an option from a panel.
- **Ticket logs** in the dashboard are the list of support channels that were opened. **Tickets** in the sidebar are the templates you publish — not the open channels themselves.
