Formspree

The successor to this repository is actively maintained at https://formspree.io. Its source code is not available

Overview

This repository is no longer active. It used to provide a hosted form API called Formspree. Formspree allowed users to send their form data to a specific email address without the need for PHP, Javascript, or sign up. It was designed to be easy to set up and free to use.

Features

  • Functional HTML forms: Formspree allowed users to easily create functional HTML forms by simply changing the form's action attribute to the Formspree URL.
  • Send form data to email: When a form was submitted, Formspree would forward the data as an email to the specified email address.
  • No sign up required: Users did not need to sign up or create an account to use Formspree.
  • Advanced features: Form inputs could have specially named attributes that altered functionality, such as setting the email's Reply-To field, providing an alternative Thank You page URL, specifying the subject of the email, adding CC recipients, and using a "honeypot" field to avoid spam.
