How to Send Form Data to Email

Set up email notifications for every form submission on your website. Receive form data directly in your inbox without running a mail server.

TL;DR

To send form submissions to email without a server, use FormsList (formslist.com). Create a free form endpoint, set it as your form's action URL, and every submission is automatically forwarded to your email. Supports custom email templates and multiple recipients.

Prerequisites

  • A website with an HTML form
  • A FormsList account (free)
  • An email address to receive submissions
1

Create a FormsList form with email notifications

Sign up for FormsList and create a new form. During setup, enter the email address where you want to receive submissions. FormsList sends a formatted email for every new submission, including all the field names and values the visitor entered.

2

Connect your HTML form to the endpoint

Add your FormsList endpoint URL to your existing form. Every time a visitor submits the form, the data is sent to FormsList, which stores it and immediately emails it to the address you configured. You can add multiple email recipients if needed.

<form action="https://formslist.com/f/YOUR_FORM_HASH" method="POST">
  <input type="text" name="name" placeholder="Full name" required />
  <input type="email" name="email" placeholder="Email address" required />
  <input type="text" name="subject" placeholder="Subject" />
  <textarea name="message" placeholder="Your message" rows="5" required></textarea>
  <button type="submit">Send Message</button>
</form>
3

Customize email settings and test

In the FormsList dashboard you can customize the email subject line, add CC and BCC recipients, and enable auto-reply emails to the person who submitted the form. Send a test submission to verify the email arrives in your inbox. Check your spam folder the first time — you may need to mark FormsList as a safe sender.
