Static Forms - Secure form backend and form endpoint for contact forms

Basic Setup

Everything you need to know to get started with Static Forms

Registration

To use Static Forms, you need to create a free account:

  1. Visit the registration page
  2. Enter your email address
  3. Verify your email through the link sent to your inbox
  4. Access your dashboard to get your API key

Understanding Your API Key

Your API key is a unique identifier that connects form submissions to your account. It's automatically generated when you create your account.

Important: Keep your API key secure. While it's safe to use in client-side forms, don't share it publicly or commit it to public repositories.

Basic Form Structure

Here's a complete example of a basic contact form:

Field Names

All form fields with a name attribute will be included in the email you receive. Use descriptive names for better organization:

Handling Form Submission

After a successful submission, you have two options:

1. Redirect (Recommended)
