Formpost

What is Formpost

Formpost is a free contact form to email API. It allows you to point your HTML form at a single endpoint, and every submission lands in your inbox—no server or backend code required. It is designed for static sites, JAMstack projects, and any stack where you want to receive form submissions without managing infrastructure.

How to use Formpost

1. Create your form: Sign in and create a new form. Each form gets its own unique endpoint URL.
2. Configure it: In the dashboard, choose where submissions land, set the subject line, and enable features like spam filtering, autoresponder, and forwarding.
3. Paste it into your page: Use the provided HTML snippet with your form's action attribute set to your endpoint. The form works with plain HTML, JavaScript, React, Next.js, Vue, and more.

Features of Formpost

• No backend code: No server to deploy or maintain.
• Secure storage: Submissions are emailed and stored in the dashboard, searchable and exportable (30 days free, 1 year Pro, indefinite Business).
• Encrypted end to end: HTTPS in transit, encrypted at rest, and endpoint restricted to the configured email.
• Style your way: It's an API, not a widget—no iframe or injected styles.
