Questions people ask
- What is Collector?
- Collector is a hosted form backend for static websites and lightweight front ends. You create a form endpoint, add that URL to an existing HTML form, and receive submissions in a dashboard and by email without writing or hosting a server.
- How do I connect a form to Collector?
- Sign up, create a project and a form, then paste the Collector submit URL into your form’s action attribute. Give every input a name. Include the hidden honeypot field. Submit a test and confirm the message in the inbox.
- Do I need my own server?
- No. Collector accepts the POST, stores the fields, and sends notifications. You keep your own HTML, CSS, and hosting.
- Is there a free plan?
- Yes. Free includes 500 accepted submissions lifetime, 90-day retention, file uploads, and a searchable inbox. Starter is $12/month and Pro is $29/month.
- How does Collector handle spam?
- Each form includes a honeypot field, rate limits, payload limits, and spam scoring. Suspicious messages can be quarantined without using your submission quota. You can also restrict allowed origins.
