Forms & Submissions
Creating a form
Section titled “Creating a form”- Open a workspace in your dashboard.
- Click New Form (+).
- Give it a name (e.g., “Contact Form”, “Newsletter Signup”).
- Copy the Form ID displayed at the top of the form page.
Use this Form ID in your HTML with data-ft or in the submitForm() function.
Viewing submissions
Section titled “Viewing submissions”Each form has a submissions table showing:
- All submitted field values
- Timestamp
- Spam/clean status through tabs
- Integration delivery status
You can filter, search, and sort submissions from the dashboard. You can also reorder, hide, and pin columns, and export submissions as CSV.
Testing & debugging
Section titled “Testing & debugging”To send test submissions, add ?test=true to your form ID.
Test submissions are placed under the Test tab in the submissions table. They are not processed by integrations and they don’t count towards your submission limits. This allows you to safely test your form setup without triggering emails or webhooks. Test submissions are also deleted after 7 days.
Spam management
Section titled “Spam management”Formtress validates submissions against your validation rules after going through general spam checks. Submissions that fail validation are flagged as spam but still stored — so you never lose data.
Reviewing spam
Section titled “Reviewing spam”- Flagged submissions are marked in the submissions table under the Spam tab.
- You can review any flagged submission and mark it as clean if it was incorrectly caught.
- Marking a submission as clean will make it available for integration re-triggers.
Re-triggering integrations
Section titled “Re-triggering integrations”If a submission was flagged as spam but is actually legitimate, you can:
- Select the submission.
- Click the 3-dot menu in the top right.
- Choose Mark as Clean and it will automatically trigger integrations.
This is also useful if an integration was temporarily down and you need to re-send clean submissions.
