Getting Started

Basestack Forms enables you to effortlessly collect submissions from your HTML forms without the need for backend code. It offers features such as email notifications for submissions and spam protection.

To get started, you’ll need the following:

Create an HTML Form

If you don’t have an HTML form yet, you can use the example below or choose from the examples available on the Setup tab in the Basestack Forms Dashboard.

<!-- modify this form HTML as you wish -->
<form action="#" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
    <div>
        <label for="name">Name:</label>
        <!-- name each of your inputs as you wish -->
        <input type="text" id="name" name="name" placeholder="Enter your name">
    </div>
 
    <div>
        <label for="email">Email:</label>
        <input type="email" id="email" name="email" placeholder="Enter your email">
    </div>
 
    <!-- your other form fields go here -->
    <button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>

  • Go to your dashboard and click the “Create Form” button.

<!-- modify this form HTML as you wish -->
<form action="[https://forms.basestack.co/api/v1/s/[KEY]?mode=rest" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
    <div>
        <label for="name">Name:</label>
        <!-- name each of your inputs as you wish -->
        <input type="text" id="name" name="name" placeholder="Enter your name">
    </div>
 
    <div>
        <label for="email">Email:</label>
        <input type="email" id="email" name="email" placeholder="Enter your email">
    </div>
 
    <!-- your other form fields go here -->
    <button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>
ℹ️

All input fields (e.g., input, textarea, etc) must have a name attribute, or Basestack Forms won’t be able to collect.

That’s it! 🎉 Simple and fast. Now you can collect data from your website forms without the need for a backend. Try out your new form and view the submissions in Basestack Forms.
