What is the core specification for quickstart: your first form endpoint in 2 minutes?

To get started with Form2Lead, create a new Form in your dashboard, copy your unique endpoint URL (`https://form2lead.com/api/v1/f/YOUR_FORM_ID`), and paste it into your HTML form action attribute with method="POST". Form2Lead validates the payload, blocks spam, emails you the lead, and stores it in your dashboard — with zero backend code.

// Example Code

<form action="https://form2lead.com/api/v1/f/YOUR_FORM_ID" method="POST">
  <input name="name" required placeholder="Name" />
  <input name="email" type="email" required placeholder="Email" />
  <button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>

Step 1: Create a form endpoint

Sign in to your Form2Lead dashboard, create a project, and click "New Form". The dashboard generates a unique public endpoint URL per form — that URL is the only thing your website needs to talk to.

Step 2: Point your form at the endpoint

Set your <form> element action attribute to the endpoint URL and keep method="POST". Every input that has a name attribute is delivered as a field in your submission. No JavaScript, SDK, or server code is required for a plain HTML page.

Step 3: Verify delivery

Submit a test entry. You should receive a formatted email notification within seconds and see the submission appear in your dashboard inbox. If you set an allowed-domains list, remember to include your site origin before testing from a browser.
