Lead pipeline
Every submission becomes a tracked lead
New, Contacted, and Converted stages in one dashboard. See active enquiries and conversion rate without counting manually or adding a separate CRM.
Why HTML contact forms need a backend endpoint
An HTML form is only the UI. Without a backend URL, the browser has nowhere useful to send the POST.
- method="POST" requires a destination that can accept and store submissions.
- Static hosts and CDNs do not run your own mail or validation logic.
- Building a tiny API for one contact form still means auth, spam, and uptime work.
- Email-only tools leave no shared place for the team to track follow-up.
How Formgrid becomes your HTML form backend
Keep writing HTML. Formgrid is the HTTPS endpoint that receives fields, files, and UTM data, then turns them into leads.
Use your own HTML
Bring an existing contact form. Update the action URL and keep your markup and CSS.
Reliable delivery
Formgrid stores every submission and can email your team with structured field data.
Spam protection
Honeypot and rate limiting help reduce junk without custom backend filters.
Ops for leads
Pipeline statuses, follow-up reminders, Sheets sync, and UTM tracking are included.

Create the Formgrid form, paste the endpoint into action, publish, and manage leads.
