Why HTML forms need a backend
Traditional HTML forms require a backend server to process submissions. This adds complexity, cost, and maintenance burden.
One form endpoint instead
Point your HTML form's action attribute to Formboost. We handle everything: data collection, spam filtering, email notifications, and webhooks. Zero server code needed.
Formboost is a form backend: the form endpoint receives the submission, screens it for spam, stores it and delivers it — the same for HTML as for any other frontend.
