Getting started
SaveForm.io is a drop-in form backend — you point your form at a URL, submissions show up in your dashboard. No servers to run and no libraries to install. Here is the whole flow in three steps.
1. Sign up
Create a free account at saveform.io. The free plan covers small sites out of the box — no credit card needed.
2. Create a form
In the dashboard click New form, give it a name (for example Contact or Newsletter), and copy the unique form ID.
You will get an endpoint that looks like this:
https://saveform.io/api/submit/YOUR_FORM_ID
3. Point your form
Swap the action attribute of an existing HTML form for your SaveForm endpoint, or post to it from JavaScript. That is literally all — no bundler config, no SDK.
- HTML forms — the two-line approach, no JavaScript required.
- JavaScript / Fetch — for SPAs and custom success states.
Next steps
Once submissions are landing in the dashboard, layer on:
- Spam protection — honeypot field that filters bots automatically.
- Email notifications — get a formatted email on every submission.
- Webhooks — pipe each submission into Slack, Discord, Zapier, or your own backend.
- Custom redirects — send users to a thank-you page of your choosing.
