Easy form endpoints for your HTML forms

HTML Form Backend

<form accept-charset='UTF-8' action="https://app.formester.com/forms/your@form/submissions" method="POST" >
     <label for="email">Email </label>
     <input type="email" id="email-address" name="email" placeholder="your@email.com" />
     <button type="submit">Submit </button>
</form>

Design a form for your site, and be sure to name all the fields. Then, just point the action to us and confirm your email address after submission.

1. Connect Your Form

Pointing the action-attribute of your form to our URL will enable submissions to be sent to your email address.

<form accept-charset='UTF-8' action="https://app.formester.com/forms/your@form/submissions" method="POST" >

2. Add Name Attributes

Include a name attribute in all form elements (i.e. <input>, <select>, and <textarea>) to receive the submission data.

<input type="email" name="email" />

3. Submit and Confirm

Submit the form and get the submissions details on your dashboard.

Testimonials

I'm migrating my forms from Paperform, where I've been a user for over 4 years. Loving the software so far! I've already replaced Paperform form embeds & popups on my sites & my husband's websites with Formester forms

An HTML form backend is a service that collects and stores submissions from your website forms. Instead of building your own server and database, you can connect your form to a backend like Formester to receive entries, get email notifications, and manage responses easily.

You can connect your HTML form to a backend by adding the backend endpoint URL in the form action attribute and setting the method to POST. Once connected, your form submissions will be sent directly to your backend dashboard.

Traditional HTML forms need a server to process submissions. But with a form backend service, you do not need to build or manage your own server. You can collect and manage submissions without writing backend code.

You can use a hosted HTML form backend service to collect submissions without coding. Just connect your form to the backend endpoint and all entries will be stored securely and delivered to your email or dashboard.

Once your HTML form is connected to a backend service, you can enable email notifications. You will receive an alert every time someone submits the form so you never miss a lead or message.

Yes. A reliable HTML form backend uses secure data handling, spam protection, and encryption to keep your form submissions safe and ensure only genuine responses are collected.
