Get Started with Formboost in 5 Minutes

Formboost gives you a URL. Point your form at it. That's the integration.

This guide walks you through creating your first endpoint, adding it to a form, and testing a submission end-to-end.

Step 1: Create Your Endpoint

Sign up for Formboost — free, no credit card required.

After signing up, go to your dashboard and click New Endpoint. Give it a name (e.g., "Contact Form") and click Create. You'll get a unique URL like:

Copy that URL.

Step 2: Add It to Your Form

HTML (simplest)

Change your form's action attribute to your Formboost URL:

1<form action="https://formboost.app/f/YOUR_ENDPOINT_ID" method="POST">
2  <input type="text" name="name" placeholder="Your name" required />
3  <input type="email" name="email" required />
4  <textarea name="message" placeholder="Message"></textarea>
5  <button type="submit">Send</button>
6</form>

React / JavaScript

For AJAX submission (stays on the page):

1async function handleSubmit(e) {
2  e.preventDefault()
3  const data = Object.fromEntries(new FormData(e.target))
4
5  await fetch("https://formboost.app/f/YOUR_ENDPOINT_ID", {
6    method: "POST",
7    headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" },
8    body: JSON.stringify(data),
9  })
10}

Any field name you use becomes the field name in your dashboard.

Step 3: Submit a Test

Open your form in a browser and submit it with test data. Within seconds it appears in your Formboost dashboard — you'll also get an email notification to the address you signed up with.

Step 4: Configure Notifications

In your dashboard, open the endpoint and click Settings:

• Email — change which address receives notification emails
• Redirect — set a custom thank-you page URL after submission
• Spam filtering — toggle AI filtering (on by default)

Step 5: Connect Integrations (Optional)

In the Integrations tab, connect the form to:

• Slack — post to a channel on every submission
• Discord — post an embed to a Discord channel
• Telegram — send yourself a message via a Telegram bot
• Webhook — forward data to Zapier, Make, or your own backend

Reserved Field Names

Formboost uses a few reserved field names to control behavior:

Add _honey as a hidden, off-screen field to catch bots before they hit the AI filter:

1<input type="text" name="_honey" style="display:none" tabindex="-1" autocomplete="off" />
