How it works

Create a Formtorch endpoint

Sign up and create a new form endpoint in the dashboard. You will get a unique URL in seconds.

Create endpoint

Paste it into your form

Set your form's action attribute to your endpoint URL. No other changes required.

Deploy and start receiving submissions

Every submission is stored in your dashboard, triggers email notifications, and can fire webhooks to any service.

Frequently asked questions

No. Formtorch works with standard HTML forms via the action attribute. No JavaScript required for basic submissions.

Start in less than 5 minutes

Create your endpoint, paste it into any template, and you are live.
