// how it works

Deploy DSForms

on your server with Docker Compose

Create a form

in the admin UI and get your endpoint URL

Paste the snippet

into your HTML and you're done

// drop this in your html

contact.html

<form action="https://your-server.com/f/YOUR_FORM_ID" method="POST">
  <input type="hidden" name="_redirect" value="https://yoursite.com/thanks">
  <input type="text"   name="name"    placeholder="Your name"    required>
  <input type="email"  name="email"   placeholder="Your email"   required>
  <textarea            name="message" placeholder="Your message" required></textarea>
  <button type="submit">Send</button>
</form>

Field	Purpose
`_redirect`	Where to send the user after submission
`_subject`	Custom email subject line
`_honeypot`	Hidden spam trap — bots fill it, humans don't

No per-submission fees, ever

// webhook notifications

Get notified on every submission — in your Slack workspace, Discord server, or any HTTP endpoint. Configure per-form in the admin UI. Email remains optional.

Slack

Block Kit layout. Short fields appear side-by-side; long fields get their own row. Drop in your Incoming Webhook URL and done.

Discord

Rich embed with inline fields. Short values are inline (up to 3 per row); long values span the full width. Username set to "DSForms".

Generic JSON

Flat JSON payload for Zapier, n8n, Make, or any custom endpoint. Includes form name, form ID, timestamp, and all submitted fields.

generic payload

{
  "form_name":    "Contact",
  "form_id":      "abc123",
  "submitted_at": "2026-03-26T14:30:00Z",
  "fields": {
    "name":    "Jane",
    "email":   "jane@example.com",
    "message": "Hello!"
  }
}

Webhooks fire in a background goroutine — never blocking the form response. A built-in "Test Webhook" button in the admin UI lets you verify your endpoint before going live.
