Standard browser form

Connect an HTML Form Without PHP

Keep the existing HTML and page design. Set one form action, then let SmartFormify receive the submission, notify the owner, and store the response.

Implementation

Change the form destination

Every submitted input needs a name. SmartFormify processes the POST request and returns either the configured redirect or its hosted thank-you page to the browser.

1
Create an endpoint
Add the website domain and copy the endpoint URL.
2
Set the form action
Use the endpoint URL as the action and keep POST as the method.
3
Test from the website
Submit the form and confirm the response in SmartFormify.

HTML contact form

html

Replace the endpoint placeholder. SmartFormify receives the fields and returns the redirect or hosted thank-you page after the form is accepted.

<form
  action="https://api.smartformify.com/fe/YOUR_ENDPOINT_KEY"
  method="POST"
>
  <label>
    Name
    <input name="name" required>
  </label>

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

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

  <button type="submit">Send</button>
</form>

What the HTML form needs

A POST method

The browser sends the named fields directly to the endpoint.

Named fields

Each input, select, and textarea name becomes a response label.

An allowed domain

Add the website domain before testing a browser submission.

Option one

Redirect to your website

Set a redirect URL when the visitor should return to a confirmation page on the same website.

Option two

Use the hosted thank-you page

When no redirect is set, SmartFormify displays the endpoint thank-you content after the browser submits the form.
