Your first form, live in 5 minutes

No backend, no server config, no database. Create a form, paste one snippet, collect submissions.

Takes about 5 minutes to complete — including writing your first test submission

Create your free account

Open Form Studio

In your dashboard, go to Form Studio. Create a new form, give it a name, and add your first field.

Start with a contact form template — it includes Name, Email, and Message fields out of the box.

Publish your form

Click Publish in the top bar. ContactFire generates a public form URL and a unique Form ID.

Copy the embed snippet

Go to Embed Code in the form settings. Copy the HTML snippet — it is a single <script> tag plus a <div>.

Embed snippet — paste this anywhere in your HTML

<div id="cf-form"></div>
<script
  src="https://my.contactfire.com/api/embed-script"
  data-token="cf_embed_your_token_here"
  data-form-id="your_form_id"
  async
></script>

Paste it on your site

Drop the snippet into any HTML page — wherever you want the form to appear. No server-side setup needed.

Full page example

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8" />
  <title>Contact Us</title>
</head>
<body>
  <h1>Get in touch</h1>

  <!-- ContactFire form renders here -->
  <div id="cf-form"></div>
  <script
    src="https://my.contactfire.com/api/embed-script"
    data-token="cf_embed_your_token_here"
    data-form-id="your_form_id"
    async
  ></script>
</body>
</html>

Submit a test message

Open your site and fill out the form. Hit Submit.

Check your Inbox

Back in the ContactFire dashboard, open Inbox. Your test submission appears within seconds — with all field values, timestamp, and source domain.

Enable "Email on submission" in Notification Settings to get an email for every new message.
