# Creating Your First Form

> Set up a form endpoint in the Formbase dashboard.

Creating a form in Formbase gives you a unique endpoint you can post to from any site or application. The title and description are for your own organization and do not affect submissions.

You can also define a return URL. After a browser submission, Formbase shows a success page with a button that sends users back to that URL.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the dashboard">
    Sign in to Formbase and click "New Form" in your dashboard.

  <Step title="Name your form">
    Add a title and optional description to make it easy to find later. These fields appear only in your dashboard.

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="(Optional) Set a return URL">
    If you want a button on the success page that sends visitors back to your site, add a return URL now or update it later in settings.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save and copy the endpoint">
    After saving, Formbase shows your endpoint, for example:

    ```text theme={null}
    https://formbase.dev/s/your-form-id
    ```

    Use this endpoint as the `action` in an HTML form or as the URL in your fetch request.
