The simplest Formbase integration is a standard HTML form. This works anywhere you can write HTML: static sites, templates, server-rendered apps, and CMS embeds. When the browser submits the form, Formbase stores the data and redirects the user to a built-in success page. If you set a return URL in the dashboard, that page includes a button back to your site.
1

Create a form endpoint

Copy the endpoint from your Formbase dashboard. It looks like https://formbase.dev/s/YOUR_FORM_ID.
2

Add the endpoint to your form

<form action="https://formbase.dev/s/YOUR_FORM_ID" method="POST">
  <label for="name">Name</label>
  <input id="name" name="name" type="text" required />

  <label for="email">Email</label>
  <input id="email" name="email" type="email" required />

  <label for="message">Message</label>
  <textarea id="message" name="message" required></textarea>

  <button type="submit">Send</button>
</form>
The name attribute of each field becomes a key in your submission data.
3

Submit and verify

Submit the form and confirm the data appears in your Formbase dashboard.

File uploads with HTML

To upload files, add a file input and set enctype="multipart/form-data": 
<form
  action="https://formbase.dev/s/YOUR_FORM_ID"
  method="POST"
  enctype="multipart/form-data"
>
  <input name="name" type="text" required />
  <input name="resume" type="file" />
  <button type="submit">Upload</button>
</form>
Formbase stores uploaded files as URLs under either file or image in the submission data.
If you need a custom thank-you page, handle submission with JavaScript and redirect manually. See Redirects.
