What you get on day one

Everything a serious form needs, nothing it does not.

Single endpoint

POST one URL. We do the rest.

FormsDock accepts multipart and JSON, validates payloads against your schema, stores a SHA-256 hashed copy, and forwards to whatever stack you already run.

POST /v1/submit
Content-Type: application/json
Authorization: Bearer fk_live_...

{
  "form_id": "contact",
  "fields": {
    "email": "ada@analytical.engine",
    "message": "Hi there"
  }
}

Webhooks

Signed + retried

Every event signed with HMAC-SHA256. Exponential retry up to 24 hours. Dead-letter queue visible in the dashboard.

Spam

Multi-layer blocking

Honeypot, timing heuristics, disposable-email filter, and per-form allow/deny lists. Open the dashboard to see why a submission was blocked.

How it works

From form submission to inbox, in under 250 milliseconds.

Drop-in endpoint

One endpoint, every form

POST to a single URL. We parse, validate, store, and forward to your stack. No SDK lock-in, no auth dance. Bring your existing HTML form or wire one up in 30 seconds.

Inbox built in

Conversations, not just submissions

Each submission lands in a threaded inbox with sender history, auto-tags, and reply-from-anywhere. Replace your support tool for low-volume contact forms.

Questions

Frequently asked, concisely answered

  • What exactly is FormsDock?
    FormsDock is a drop-in backend for contact forms and lead-capture forms. You get a stable endpoint, a spam-protected inbox, webhooks, and an optional dashboard. You keep your own HTML and your own domain; we handle parsing, validation, storage, and forwarding.
  • How fast does it actually deploy?
    The free tier takes about 60 seconds: paste the endpoint into your existing form, ship. The Pro tier adds custom domains, webhooks, and Slack forwarding, and takes roughly 5 minutes to configure.
  • Where is my data stored, and can I export it?
    Everything lives in Cloudflare D1 (SQLite-compatible) in the region you pick during signup. You can export every submission as CSV or JSON at any time from the dashboard, or stream events to your own database via webhooks.
  • How does pricing work?
    Free covers up to 100 submissions per month with no card required. Paid plans start at $9 per month with annual billing. There is no per-seat fee; one workspace covers your whole team.

Stop wiring up form backends.

Free tier, no card, no time limit on the basics. Move up when you outgrow it.
