Form fields

Use any field names and input types. Every named field is saved and included in your email.

Formclick saves every form control that has a name attribute. There is no schema to configure: add a field to your HTML and it shows up in the next submission.

Supported inputs

Input	What gets saved
`text`, `email`, `tel`, `url`, `number`, `date`, `textarea`…	The value as text.
`select`	The selected option’s `value` (or its text when there is no value).
`radio`	The value of the checked radio.
`checkbox`	The value when ticked (default `on`). Unticked boxes are left out.
Several fields with the same name	A list of values, e.g. `interests` → `["Design", "SEO"]`.
`file`	A link to the uploaded file. Needs `formclick.min.js`. See File uploads.
`hidden`	Saved like any other field, unless it is a special field.

Sender name and email

Formclick looks for the person’s name and email so submissions are easy to scan in the dashboard and you can reply straight from your inbox.

Name is read from the first non-empty field called name, full_name, fullname or your_name.
Email is read from email (or Email). It becomes the Reply-To of your notification, so pressing Reply answers the visitor.

Use type="email" for the email field. Browsers validate it before submit, and an invalid address also counts towards the spam score.

Field names

Use short, readable names: they appear as labels in your email and dashboard. company_name reads better than field_7. Avoid starting names with an underscore; a few such names are reserved.

Size limit

A submission body can be up to 100 KB of text, which is far more than any normal form. Files never count towards this, because they upload separately.
