Quick Start

This guide will walk you through creating your first form in Mountly and connecting it to your website. It's the fastest way to get up and running with a functional submission flow.

For a more detailed walkthrough of form creation, see the Create a form guide.

If you already have a form and just need to connect it to your website, check out Integrate a form on your website.

Create a form

Navigate to the Forms section in your Workspace.
Press + New form in the navigation bar on the left.

Here's what you'll need to provide:

Form name: A clear and descriptive name for your form.
Description: (Optional) Helpful for providing additional context.
Redirect URL: (Optional) If you have a custom "thank you" page, enter its URL here.
Notifications: (Optional) Choose how you'd like to be notified of new submissions.

Once you're done, click Create form. If you need further help, check out this form creation guide.

Get the submission endpoint

Open your newly created form and go to the Entries tab. You'll find a setup checklist and your unique submission endpoint.

Copy the endpoint URL. It will look like this:

https://api.mountly.io/submit/<form-id>

Connect to your website

Update the action attribute of your website's form to point to the Mountly submission endpoint you just copied. Make sure the method is set to "POST".

<form action="https://api.mountly.io/submit/<form-id>" method="POST">
  <input type="text" name="name" />
  <input type="email" name="email" />
  <textarea name="message"></textarea>
  <button type="submit">Send</button>
</form>

Mountly automatically captures the name attribute of each input field, so ensure these are set for every value you wish to collect.

Test your form

Submit a test entry through the form on your website. Then, return to Workspace > Forms in Mountly to confirm that the submission was received.

Verify the following:

The new entry appears in the Entries list.
You are redirected to the correct "thank you" page.
Notifications are delivered as you configured them.
