Understanding your access key

What the access key is, where to find it, and how to use it in your form.

Every form has its own access key, a long ID such as 21e56b6c-55b5-4c8d-ab3b-83222682465f. It is the only thing that links your HTML to your Formclick form.

Where to find it

Open the form in your dashboard and go to the Connect tab. The key is shown at the top, and every code sample on that page already includes it.

How to use it

HTML
<input type="hidden" name="access_key" value="YOUR_ACCESS_KEY">

Add it as a hidden field inside the form. For JavaScript and API calls, send it as access_key in the JSON body. See Access key for every option.

Common questions

Can I use the same key on several pages?

Yes. Every page using the key sends to the same form. Formclick records which page each submission came from.

Do I need a new key for each website?

Only if you want separate inboxes, notifications or integrations. Otherwise one form is fine.

Is it safe to publish?

Yes. See Is my access key safe in public HTML?
