Create your first form endpoint

A Formclick “form endpoint” is a form in your dashboard plus its access key. Your HTML form sends submissions to Formclick and the key tells us which form, inbox and integrations they belong to.

1. 1

   Sign up or log in

   Create a free account. No credit card is needed for the Free plan.

2. 2

   Create an HTML form

   From the dashboard, create a new HTML form and give it a name you will recognise, such as “Website contact”.

3. 3

   Copy the access key

   Open the form’s Connect tab. Copy the Form Access Key, or copy one of the ready-made code samples with the key already filled in.

4. 4

   Paste the form into your site

   Use the sample below, replacing YOUR_ACCESS_KEY.

   contact.html

   Copy

   <form action="https://api.formclick.io/submit" method="POST">
     <input type="hidden" name="access_key" value="YOUR_ACCESS_KEY">
     <input type="text" name="name" placeholder="Your name" required>
     <input type="email" name="email" placeholder="you@example.com" required>
     <textarea name="message" placeholder="Your message" required></textarea>
     <button type="submit">Send</button>
   </form>
   
   <!-- Handles submit, file upload, loading state and success/error messages. -->
   <script src="https://cdn.formclick.io/formclick.min.js"></script>

5. 5

   Send a test

   Submit the form once. It appears in Submissions straight away and the notification email follows. See Test your form before going live.

Next: customise the notification email and turn on spam protection.
