Setup

FAQ
Common questions.
Does this work with Next.js App Router?
Yes. The form is standard HTML and works in both App Router and Pages Router.
Can I use this with static export?
Yes. FormsFort is an external API endpoint, so it works with output: 'export' without any server functions.
Do I need an API route?
No. The browser posts directly to FormsFort. If you need server-side validation, you can add an API route that proxies to FormsFort.
How do I handle the response?
For JavaScript submissions, fetch the endpoint and read the JSON response. For plain HTML forms, the user is redirected to the success page you configure.
Stop managing form servers.
Create a production form endpoint, migrate your first form free, and scale when you are ready.
