There are multiple custom Facebook tab providers, but Static HTML from Thunderpenny stand best for this method. You can use the app to add a form to your Facebook page without needing technical skills and digging into Facebook’s developer page.
Note
You can only add a custom tab if your Facebook page has 2 000 or more likes. Visit Facebook – Page Tabs for more details. If you meet this criterion, please proceed below.
Adding the Iframe App to Your Facebook Page
First, you must add the Custom Iframe App to your Facebook page to create the custom tab for your form. Here are the steps:
- Go to Static HTML: iframe tabs.
- Click the Add Static HTML to a Page button. The button will open a dialog tab.

- Select the page where you want to add the custom tab from the dialog.
- Click the Add Page Tab button at the bottom to finish. The page will redirect you to the chosen page.

Adding Form to Your Facebook Page
Since you now have the app installed, let’s proceed with adding the form to your Facebook page through the custom tab added by Static HTML app. Here’s how:
- While viewing your Facebook page, click the More dropdown from the list of shown tabs.
- Click Static HTML [12] from the list. You can change this label later.

- Click the Setup tab button. The button will open the Static HTML website to set up the tab.

- Grab your form’s iframe embed codes.
- Paste the iframe codes to the index.html box.
- Click the Save and Publish button at the top part of the page. You should have the form added this time. Go back to the custom tab of your Facebook page to confirm.

Editing the Custom Tab Name
Facebook hides the option to edit the tab name from your page’s view and settings, but you can still do it with a single parameter added to the vanity URL of your Facebook page. This one’s a bit tricky, but as long as you follow the steps, you should be able to change the tab name or label. Let’s do it!
- Append the parameter
settings/?tab=apps
to your Facebook page URL. The URL should look like the following:
https://www.facebook.com/{your_page}/settings/?tab=apps
- Click Edit Settings from the Static HTML app. The link will open a small popup.

- Enter your Custom Tab Name.
- Click the Save button. There is a small loading icon as an indicator. If it stops loading, that means Facebook saved the changes.
- Finally, click the Okay button to close the popup. Visit your page to confirm the changes.

Removing the Custom Tab
You can easily remove the custom tab by appending same URL parameter settings/?tab=apps
to your Facebook page URL but this time, do the following:
- Click the X icon on the far right side of the custom tab.
- Click the Yes button to confirm. That’s it!

Adding a New Custom Tab
Facebook does not allow you to add the same iframe app twice on the same page, but Static HTML has reserved apps for doing this. Go to Thunderpenny – Add Tab to learn more.
Editing the Custom Tab
If you want to change the form, you must edit the custom tab. To edit:
- Access the custom tab added by the Static HTML app.
- As an admin of the page, you should see the Edit App button at the top of the form. Click it. The button will redirect you to Static HTML website, where you can update the tab settings and change the embed codes.

Below are also a great alternative of the Static HTML app:

Muy bueno, excelente idea ... xD
Is there a way for this to pop up after a certain number of seconds, or when a person scrolls down, or goes to close the page?
If so it could be a real Qualaroo or Popfeedback killer!

Wow awesome and informational site to me, i am also gonna share this site to my friends.
Amazing and unique informational site to me, i was also thinking about this great and awesome site.
Can the name of the owner of the fan page be seen, or the name of the person who is using the API be seen? (I ask re retaining anonymity on a Facebook page.)
Now that the FB app is added, those who DONT USE FB cannot use my app. I need to take it off, but don't know how... thanks!
These are all old, the new one has been changed.
So now I don't know how to add my form to Facebook App.

Bonjour,
Le passage en https fait que les applications iframe non configurées https ne s'affichent pas sur les pages entreprises.
iframe.apps permet de créer une iframe sans être développeur facebook et évite d'acheter et de configurer le certificat SSL.
L'application iframe.apps ( propose :
- d’ajouter dans un onglet iframe une page internet existante simplement en insérant son URL
- ou de créer un nouvel onglet iframe grâce à l’éditeur HTML intégré
(de la même manière qu’était géré Static FBML)
N'hésitez pas à demander plus d'informations.
Bruno B.
This is Great!!! It's works on my fans page now.
