HTML form endpoint
Point a plain HTML form at a SaveForm endpoint and collect submissions without adding JavaScript or a custom backend. This fits static sites and traditional HTML-based forms.
Complete form submission infrastructure
SaveForm.io is a hosted form submission backend for collecting, storing, filtering, exporting, and forwarding form entries from HTML forms and JSON-based submissions. It is designed to replace the need for a custom backend on static sites, simple contact forms, and frontend apps that need a straightforward place to receive submissions.
The product centers on a simple workflow: create a form in the dashboard, point your form action or fetch request to the SaveForm endpoint, and manage incoming submissions from one place. The feature set includes spam protection, email notifications, webhooks, redirects, exports, and configurable retention, with separate paths for classic HTML forms, JavaScript, and framework-based integrations.
Features
JSON and fetch support
Use the JSON REST API or fetch-based requests when your app already submits data programmatically. The docs and features page show support for JavaScript apps and other frontends that send JSON.
Spam protection
Built-in honeypot filtering and domain-based restrictions help reduce bot traffic without adding CAPTCHA to the user flow. Spam protection is described as automatic and configurable per form.
Notifications and webhooks
Send submission notifications to email, or forward them to destinations such as Slack, Discord, Zapier, n8n, or a custom HTTPS endpoint through webhooks. The docs also mention delivery logs and request previews.
Submission dashboard
Review submissions in a dashboard with search, date filtering, read/unread status, and real-time updates. The dashboard can also surface a sender column when name or email fields are present.
Exports and retention
Export submissions as CSV or JSON and set data retention by plan. The pricing and docs pages show retention options that vary from 30 days to unlimited depending on plan.
Use cases
Static site form handling
Connect a contact, newsletter, or lead capture form to a hosted endpoint instead of maintaining a custom backend. This is the core fit for static sites and simple marketing pages.
Frontend app submissions
Send JSON from a React, Next.js, Vue, Angular, or similar frontend directly to the submission endpoint. This suits SPAs and app-like interfaces that already use fetch requests.
Notification and webhook routing
Route incoming submissions into Slack, Discord, Zapier, n8n, or another HTTPS destination so the team can respond or automate follow-up outside the dashboard.
Submission review and handoff
Use the dashboard to review submissions, filter by date, mark items read or unread, search records, and export data as CSV or JSON for analysis or handoff.
Agency and multi-site workflows
Add honeypot-based filtering, email alerts, and custom redirects to standardize the post-submit experience across multiple client sites or landing pages.
