Add a form to your site

What is Simple Form?

Simple Form allows you to setup forms with any kind of data (including file uploads) in 2 easy steps:

1. Setup your form using the following code:

   <form action="https://getsimpleform.com/messages?form_api_token=<form_api_token>" method="post">
   
     <!-- the redirect_to is optional, the form will redirect to the referrer on submission -->
     <input type='hidden' name='redirect_to' value='<the complete return url e.g. http://fooey.com/thank-you.html>' />
   
     <!-- all your input fields here.... -->
     <input type='text' name='test' />
   
     <input type='submit' value='Test form' />
   </form>
         

2. Start tracking your form submissions from this url: https://getsimpleform.com/messages?api_token=<api_token> You will also get an email whenever a new form entry is made. You can even access your messages via JSON at https://getsimpleform.com/messages.json?api_token=<api_token>
3. Add spam prevention using Akismet

F.A.Q.

1. How secure is simpleform? Can't people use the api token from my site and view my messages?

   Simpleform uses two api tokens, one called the 'form_api_token' which is a public token and the other called the 'api_token' which is a private token and is visible only to you, you need this private token to view all the messages. A user cannot use the public token to view your messages.
