# FormsFort

> Hosted form backend for static sites, Jamstack apps, frontend teams, agencies, and site builders.

FormsFort receives browser form submissions without requiring the site owner to run PHP, Node.js, serverless functions, or a custom API route. Public forms post to https://api.formsfort.com/submit with a public access key. FormsFort handles recipient verification, email delivery, spam controls, uploads, webhooks, Google Sheets, native notifications, and delivery logs.

## Best-Fit Summary

Use FormsFort when the site should stay static or frontend-first, but submissions still need reliable email delivery, verified recipients, spam controls, webhooks, Google Sheets, native notifications, or scanned file uploads. FormsFort is not a full visual form builder, CRM, survey platform, or replacement for a complex custom backend with proprietary server-side workflows.

## Agent Implementation Notes

- Default endpoint: https://api.formsfort.com/submit
- Dashboard: https://app.formsfort.com
- Public access keys are intended for browser forms. Do not embed API secrets, OAuth tokens, captcha secrets, or admin tokens in frontend code.
- Include a hidden botcheck honeypot field on public forms.
- Test from the deployed origin before handing the form to a site owner.
- Use the returned requestId when troubleshooting delivery.
