The Problem
Contact forms need backend logic to send notifications and store data. Traditional form handling requires server setup and maintenance.
Formboost Solution
Formboost handles all the backend logic for you. Add your Formboost endpoint to your contact form and get instant email notifications.
Real-World Example
A SaaS company adds a contact form to their website. When customers submit, the Formboost endpoint sends an email to their sales team and a Slack notification simultaneously.
Contact Forms: the form, field by field
A contact form needs four things: who is writing, how to reply, what it is about, and a way to keep bots out. The `_replyto` field makes the notification email replyable from your inbox, `_subject` puts the topic in the subject line, and the hidden `_honey` field is the honeypot.
<form action="https://formboost.app/f/YOUR_ENDPOINT_ID" method="POST">
<input type="text" name="name" placeholder="Your name" required />
<input type="email" name="_replyto" placeholder="Your email" required />
<select name="_subject">
<option value="Sales question">Sales question</option>
<option value="Support request">Support request</option>
<option value="Something else">Something else</option>
</select>
<textarea name="message" placeholder="How can we help?" required></textarea>
<input type="text" name="_honey" style="display:none" tabindex="-1" autocomplete="off" />
<input type="hidden" name="_redirect" value="https://www.example.com/thanks" />
<button type="submit">Send message</button>
</form>- ✓Pair it with email notifications (on by default) and a Slack or Discord channel so the team sees it without checking an inbox — both are on the Free plan, one destination per form.
- ✓Add Auto Reply on Starter to send the visitor a confirmation with your own subject and message.
- ✓The `_redirect` URL must be HTTPS and on the same host as the page the form lives on.
