Form endpoint
GlossaryA hosted URL that accepts form POST requests and handles delivery, storage, and spam.
Definition
A form endpoint is a hosted URL your form's `action` attribute (or JavaScript fetch call) targets. The endpoint accepts `application/x-www-form-urlencoded`, `multipart/form-data`, or `application/json` payloads, validates the submission, runs spam checks, stores the row, sends an email, and optionally fires webhooks. It's the hosted alternative to writing your own PHP `mail()` or serverless email handler.
Why it matters for form backends
It lets a static HTML page receive form submissions without any server code of your own.
FAQ
FormLoom accepts plain HTML form POST (urlencoded), multipart/form-data (for file uploads), and JSON. The response is JSON when you send `Accept: application/json`, or a redirect for plain HTML forms.
