Creating your first form

Creating your first form

Section titled “Creating your first form”

Formkove gives you a hosted submission endpoint in seconds: no form builder, no drag-and-drop, no configuration files. You bring your own frontend; Formkove handles what comes after the POST.

Step 1: Create a form

Section titled “Step 1: Create a form”

From the Formkove dashboard, click New form. Give it a name. You now have a live endpoint.

Your endpoint URL follows this pattern:

https://app.formkove.com/api/forms/{YOUR_FORM_ID}/submissions

Step 2: Add it to your site

Section titled “Step 2: Add it to your site”

Point your HTML form at your Formkove endpoint:

<form action="https://app.formkove.com/api/forms/form_abc123/submissions" method="POST">
  <input name="email" type="email" required />
  <textarea name="message"></textarea>
  <button type="submit">Send</button>
</form>

Works with plain HTML, React, Vue, Next.js, or any framework that speaks HTTP.

Step 3: Configure notifications

Section titled “Step 3: Configure notifications”

From the form settings in your dashboard, add an email address to receive notifications on every submission. Pro users can also set up Slack, webhooks, and Zapier.

Step 4: Set up spam protection

Section titled “Step 4: Set up spam protection”

Formkove protects your forms with rate limits and proprietary anti-spam mechanisms out of the box. For added protection, you can turn on custom honeypot and add your own Cloudflare Turnstile keys.

Step 5: Publish and share

Section titled “Step 5: Publish and share”

Your form is live as soon as it’s created. Share the direct link or embed it on your site:

  • Direct link: formkove.com/f/{form-id}
  • JS embed: A <script> tag for embedding on any website
  • iframe embed: An <iframe> fallback for restricted environments

Copy the embed code from your dashboard.
