How FormsToDB works

FormsToDB connects any HTML form to a real-time lead dashboard. You add one hidden field to your form, and every submission appears instantly in your account — with contact info, source tracking and instant notifications.

Step 1 — Create your account

1. Go to formstodb.com/sign-up and create a free account.
2. No credit card required. You get 100 submissions/month free, forever.
3. You'll be taken straight to your dashboard.

Step 2 — Create a form

1. In your dashboard, go to Forms → click New Form.
2. Give it a name (e.g. "Contact Form — Homepage").
3. Copy the API key shown on the form card.

Step 3 — Add one line to your HTML

Open your existing HTML form and add this hidden field inside it:

<form action="https://formstodb.com/api/submit" method="POST">
  <!-- Add this one line ↓ -->
  <input type="hidden" name="_key" value="YOUR_FORM_KEY">

  <!-- All your existing fields stay the same -->
  <input type="text"  name="name"    placeholder="Your name">
  <input type="email" name="email"   placeholder="Email">
  <button type="submit">Send</button>
</form>

Step 4 — Test it

1. Submit your form with a test entry.
2. Go to Dashboard → Leads.
3. Your test lead appears within 1–2 seconds.
