On the automation tab, you should be able to create flows from any of the 9 premade workflows or customize your own workflow.
Omnisend also allows you to create your own custom forms. You will get one premade - newsletter signup form, which you can customize a little bit. From the drop-down, choose edit, and the first step is to choose the theme. In the next step, you will be able to customize the form even further; you can check the preview for both mobile and desktop versions. Publish and reload your page to see the changes you have made.
