Plain HTML forms

The classic setup: a form tag, an action attribute, and nothing else.

Formy accepts standard form posts (application/x-www-form-urlencoded and multipart/form-data). Every field you include becomes part of the submission.

HTML
<form action="https://useformy.net/f/your-form" method="POST">
  <input type="text" name="name" placeholder="Name" />
  <input type="email" name="email" placeholder="Email" required />
  <textarea name="message" placeholder="Message"></textarea>

  <!-- honeypot: hidden from humans, catches bots -->
  <input type="text" name="_gotcha" style="display:none" />

  <button type="submit">Send</button>
</form>
  • After a successful post, visitors are redirected to your success redirect URL (set it in the form's Settings) — or shown a JSON response if none is set.
  • Use an email field (or _replyto) and notification emails will have reply-to set to the submitter.
  • The hidden _gotcha field is optional but recommended — see spam protection.
