Guided Onboarding for New Accounts

December 15, 2025

Getting from sign-up to a working form endpoint used to require several manual steps. The new onboarding flow removes that friction entirely.

What the flow covers

  1. Create your first project: give it a name that matches your site or app
  2. Create your first form: name it and get a live endpoint URL immediately
  3. Send a test submission: a built-in test tool fires a real POST to your endpoint so you can verify everything works before touching your codebase
  4. View your first submission: lands in the dashboard exactly as a real one would, so you know what to expect

The entire flow takes under two minutes.

Smart redirect logic

If you already have projects in your account, the onboarding route redirects you directly to your projects list, so you'll never accidentally land on setup screens for an existing workspace.

Test submissions are clearly labeled

Submissions sent through the onboarding test tool are tagged with _test: true and displayed with a Test badge in the dashboard. They don't count against your quota and don't trigger email notifications.
