Quickstart

Sign in and copy your form address

Enter your email address and open the link in the email, or sign in with Google. Your first sign-in creates a first form for you, with a form address ready to copy.

Add a client site, and a form on it, for each client after that. The address looks like https://f.formparcel.live/f/f_k7QmXp2aVb9sTn4cLw8RhE, and your own ID replaces the last part. It does not change, so you can paste it into a client’s site once.

A form accepts leads once it has somewhere to deliver them: a Google Sheet or an email recipient. Until then, a post gets a 400 answer (form not ready). Connecting a Google Sheet is a separate step that asks for a narrower permission: only the files FormParcel creates.

Point a form at it

Set the form’s action to your address and its method to POST. Keep your own markup. The dashboard gives you this snippet with your address filled in. Using a site builder or an AI builder? Start from Choose your platform.

Example form address. Use yours from the dashboard.

<form action="https://f.formparcel.live/f/f_k7QmXp2aVb9sTn4cLw8RhE" method="POST" onsubmit="if(!window.FormParcel){event.preventDefault();var f=this;f.setAttribute('data-fp-wait','1');setTimeout(function(){if(f.getAttribute('data-fp-wait')){f.removeAttribute('data-fp-wait');HTMLFormElement.prototype.submit.call(f)}},10000)}">
  <!-- Spam trap: people never see it, bots fill it in. Keep it hidden. -->
  <div aria-hidden="true" style="position:absolute;left:-10000px;">
    <input type="text" name="_gotcha" tabindex="-1" autocomplete="off">
  </div>

  <!-- Optional: send visitors to your own thank-you page. -->
  <input type="hidden" name="_next" value="https://your-site.example/thanks">

  <label for="name">Name</label>
  <input type="text" id="name" name="name" required>

  <label for="email">Email</label>
  <input type="email" id="email" name="email" required>

  <label for="message">Message</label>
  <textarea id="message" name="message" required></textarea>

  <button type="submit">Send</button>
</form>
<!-- FormParcel bot check: no cookies, no widget. Without it, submissions wait in your Spam folder. -->
<script src="https://f.formparcel.live/f/formparcel.js" async></script>

• Every field needs a name. A field without one is not sent.
• The _gotcha field is a spam trap. Keep it hidden from people.
• The script line after the form is FormParcel’s bot check. It sets no cookies and shows nothing. Without it, leads wait in your Spam folder instead of being delivered. See Spam protection.
• _next is optional. It sends visitors to a page on the client’s own site.

To stay on the page and read the answer yourself, send the post from JavaScript: the fetch guide.

Send a test lead

Before you touch the client’s site, use Send a test lead on the form’s page in the dashboard. It goes through the real pipeline, so it gets a real receipt, and its name in the Sheet row starts with [TEST]. A test lead skips the bot check, so post the form once from the client’s page too. Do not test with curl or from a server: those posts carry no bot-check proof and wait in your Spam folder. Real leads from the site show up in the same list.

Read the receipt

Open the receipt in Leads to see each attempt and where the lead stands. A lead is Accepted as soon as it is stored. It is Delivered once the Google Sheet has the row. The receipts reference explains every state.
