Bootstrap
Point a Bootstrap 5 contact form at FormsReach with form-control classes and your API key - no backend required.
What you will achieve
A working contact form on a Bootstrap 5 page using classic HTML form POST - no npm, no SDK.
Prerequisites
- A FormsReach form and API key
- A page that already loads Bootstrap 5 CSS (CDN or npm)
Steps
1. Create a form and copy the API key
Sign in at app.formsreach.com, create a form, and copy the API key.
2. Paste the Bootstrap form
<form action="https://api.formsreach.com/submit" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="api_key" value="YOUR_ACCESS_KEY" />
<div class="mb-3">
<label for="name" class="form-label">Name</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="name" name="name" required />
</div>
<div class="mb-3">
<label for="email" class="form-label">Email</label>
<input type="email" class="form-control" id="email" name="email" required />
</div>
<div class="mb-3">
<label for="message" class="form-label">Message</label>
<textarea class="form-control" id="message" name="message" rows="4" required></textarea>
</div>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Submit Form</button>
</form>
Replace YOUR_ACCESS_KEY with your real key. Do not add a Bootstrap <link> if the page already has Bootstrap 5 CSS.
3. Submit a test
Open the page, fill the fields, and submit.
Verify
- A new row appears under the form’s Submissions in the dashboard
- Field values match what you typed
Common failures
| Symptom | Check |
|---|---|
| Nothing in dashboard | Wrong key or wrong form in the app |
| Missing API key error | Hidden input name="api_key" missing |
| Looks unstyled | Bootstrap 5 CSS is not loaded; the form still submits |
| Domain denied | Add your host to the domain allowlist |
| Missing fields | Each input needs a name attribute |
