How does the netlify form code know to route the forms from my website will be sent to your databases if I am on the forms level 0 plan. I have my notifications on. I tried inserting that line of code into my form, but all I got was blank data. I am trying to use the netlify-forms code in my website by inserting the following code into my html file.
form name="contact" method="POST" data-netlify="true"
Is there another particular setting in the code or is the info auto routed somehow?
you add a form using the right tags to your project
when we build your site, we “scan” your site’s code for the appropriate form tags, if we find `em, we know you will be running a form and we make note of the settings (this is why a html version of a form must be present in your site when we build it, even if you are using a JS based SSG)
when a customer uses your form, we handle it as per the settings we detected on build - so if you make changes to your code, you need to deploy.
there is a lot of debugging info in here that you might find helpful:
This Support Guide is the first port of call to debug any forms issues. There are also many other Support Guides for forms - you can find them here: #Netlify-support:support-guides
If you are still having problems, please provide more information such as what you have already tried, and a link to your live form.
Hi Perry, thanks. For the record, the issue was that I had to add the name=“Email”, etc. and also add the neftlify-data=“true”. I failed to add the name="" in my original. Thanks!
