Getting started

How to get started with FormBackend — create an endpoint and connect your HTML form

FormBackend gives every form a unique endpoint that stores submissions, runs spam checks, sends notifications, and connects to the tools you already use. You bring your own HTML form; FormBackend handles what happens after submit.

Create an account

1. Sign up at formbackend.com.
2. Confirm your email if prompted.
3. Create a form from the forms page.
4. Open the Set Up tab and copy your unique endpoint URL (https://www.formbackend.com/f/{token}).

Paste that URL into your form’s action attribute. Full walkthrough: Your first form.

What you can do next

• Special fields — reserved field names that change form behavior
• Sending emails — notify yourself and the submitter
• Spam filtering — honeypots, CAPTCHAs, and domain allowlists
• Integrations and webhooks
• API and MCP for automation
• Projects and team access — organize forms with teammates
