• Official Website: formspree.io
• Category: Contact Forms
• Type: Form Endpoint Service

Overview

Formspree is one of the most widely used form processing services for static and Jamstack websites. It replaces server-side form handling with a clean HTTP endpoint.

Submissions are scanned for spam via reCAPTCHA and custom rules, forwarded to your email, and can be integrated into Slack, Google Sheets, Mailchimp, or custom webhooks.

Key Highlights & Features

• Zero-Code Backend: Connect any HTML or JavaScript AJAX form in minutes.
• Integrations: Connect submissions to Slack, Discord, Google Sheets, and Trello.
• AJAX & Redirect Support: Submit via fetch() for custom UI feedback or standard redirects.
• File Uploads: Collect attachments and file uploads directly through forms.

How It Works with Static Websites

Standard HTML form submission:

<form action="https://formspree.io/f/YOUR_FORM_ID" method="POST">
  <input type="email" name="email" placeholder="Your email" required>
  <textarea name="message" placeholder="Your message" required></textarea>
  <button type="submit">Send</button>
</form>

Or submit using JavaScript fetch:

const res = await fetch("https://formspree.io/f/YOUR_FORM_ID", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json", Accept: "application/json" },
  body: JSON.stringify({ email: "user@example.com", message: "Hello!" })
});

When to Use It

• Static blogs, documentation sites, and client websites needing robust forms.
• Forms requiring third-party integrations (Slack, Google Sheets, Zapier).
• Advanced forms requiring file attachment handling.
