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 form to email is harder than it looks
Browsers cannot email your inbox directly in a reliable way. You need a backend that accepts the form and delivers notifications.
- mailto: links open a mail client instead of submitting a real form.
- PHP mail() and raw SMTP need hosting that many static sites do not have.
- Email-only forwarding still leaves no shared lead record for the team.
- Spam and missing fields become painful without validation and storage.
How Formgrid delivers HTML form submissions by email
Formgrid receives the POST, stores the submission, and can email your team with the fields preserved. You also get a pipeline for follow-up.
Email notifications
Get alerted when someone submits, with structured field data instead of opaque blobs.
No SMTP on your host
Skip PHP mail scripts and mail server configuration on static or Jamstack hosts.
Dashboard storage
Every submission is saved so replies and handoffs do not depend on one inbox.
Sheets and reminders
Optional Google Sheets sync and follow-up reminders keep enquiries moving.
