Getting Started

Formboost lets you collect form submissions without writing any backend code. This guide walks you through setting up your first form.

Prerequisites

• A Formboost account (sign up free)
• An HTML form on your website

Step 1: Create an Endpoint

After signing up, go to your dashboard and create a new endpoint. You'll receive a unique URL that looks like:

Step 2: Point Your Form at the Endpoint

Update your form's action attribute to your Formboost endpoint URL:

1<form action="https://formboost.app/f/YOUR_ENDPOINT_ID" method="POST">
2  <label for="email">Email</label>
3  <input type="email" id="email" name="email" required />
4
5  <label for="message">Message</label>
6  <textarea id="message" name="message"></textarea>
7
8  <button type="submit">Send</button>
9</form>

That's it. Formboost handles the rest.

Step 3: Verify It Works

Submit your form once. Within seconds you'll see the submission appear in your dashboard and receive an email notification.

What Happens Next

After a successful submission, Formboost:

• Stores the data securely
• Sends an email notification to your configured address
• Makes the submission available via your dashboard and API

Redirect After Submission

By default, Formboost redirects users to a hosted thank-you page. You can override this with the _redirect hidden field:

1<input type="hidden" name="_redirect" value="https://yoursite.com/thank-you" />
