# Collect your first submission

Create a form, point an HTML form at its endpoint, and watch the submission land in your inbox.

Create a form in the Forms app to get a unique endpoint URL on f.easerix.com,
point your HTML form's `action` at it with `method="POST"`, and submit. The
submission appears in the form's inbox moments later, and everyone on the
notify list gets an email.

## Steps

1. Open **Forms** in the Easerix app ([app.easerix.com/forms](https://app.easerix.com/forms)).
2. Choose **New form**. Give it a **Form name** (e.g. *Contact — mysite.com*), optionally add **Notify (emails)**, pick a **Project**, and hit **Create form**.
3. On the form's page, copy the **Endpoint** URL from the banner at the top — it looks like `https://f.easerix.com/a3kx9p`. The **Integrate** panel below it has ready-made **HTML** and **fetch()** snippets for the same endpoint.
4. Put a form on your page that POSTs to the endpoint:

```html
<form action="https://f.easerix.com/YOUR_FORM_ID" method="POST">
  <label>
    Email
    <input type="email" name="email" required />
  </label>
  <label>
    Message
    <textarea name="message" required></textarea>
  </label>
  <!-- honeypot: bots fill this, humans never see it -->
  <input type="text" name="_gotcha" tabindex="-1" autocomplete="off" style="position:absolute;left:-9999px" />
  <button type="submit">Send</button>
</form>
```

5. Submit the form. The submission appears in the **Submissions** section of the form's page (and in the cross-form **Inbox**), and any notify emails go out.

## Verify it works

Fill in the form and submit. Standard form-encoded POSTs work as-is — no JavaScript, no API key. Within seconds the submission shows up under **Submissions** with every field you sent.

If it doesn't appear, click **Show spam** — a test that trips a spam rule is kept there rather than dropped. In particular, if **Cloudflare Turnstile** is switched on in **Settings → Spam protection** but your page doesn't render the Turnstile widget, submissions are flagged as spam; switch it off unless you've embedded the widget.

## Good to know

- New forms respond to a plain HTML post with a small JSON body (`{"ok": true}`). For a real site, set **Settings → Success behavior** to **Redirect** and point it at your thank-you page — visitors get sent there after submitting.
- Keep the hidden `_gotcha` field: it's the [honeypot](/forms/spam) that silently filters naive bots. It never appears in your inbox.
- Name your email field `email` — Forms uses it as the notification's Reply-To and as the [autoresponder](/forms/destinations) recipient.
- Submitting with JavaScript instead? See the [`fetch()` example in the endpoint reference](/forms/reference).
