How to embed forms in Notion (Feedback?)

I've made this tool that helps you turn a Notion table into a form. As Notioneers, I need your help and feedback by letting me know if this is easy enough to use (and, of course, if this is something that you'd use).

My question: is this too complicated or is it usable?

The tool is called Simple Notion Forms. I'll now take you through the process of adding a form to a Notion page. From my calculations, it shouldn't take longer than 2 mins to make a form and then embed it.

1. Make a table in Notion

Go to the page where you want to add a form and type '/database'.

In the drop-down list, select the 'Table database - Inline' option. Your form submissions will be sent in this Notion table.

2. Connect Notion with Simple.ink

Upon signing up for Simple Notion Forms, go to your dashboard of forms and select the 'Create a new form' button.

You'll now be asked to connect your Notion dashboard to Simple.ink so that your database can be collected.

This only happens so that the form maker knows where to send the submissions every time you get them.

Upon connecting your Notion account to SNF (Simple Notion Forms), click on the page with the database in order to build your form.

This is what the form builder actually looks like. Everything is pretty customizable!

3. Embed forms in Notion

Designed your form? Now simply click the 'Share' button and copy the URL of your form. After grabbing the URL of your form, head over to the Notion page where you want to embed it.

Simply type '/embed' and paste your form's link. Another option to do this would be just pasting the link of the form and selecting the 'Embed link' option.

That's right about it! You've just learned how to add forms in Notion - all of this, in just less than 2 minutes.

As Notioneers, I really need your help: is this easy enough for the average user?
