Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about Basilform before you get started.

What exactly does Basilform do?

Basilform acts as the backend for your HTML or static forms. Once you create a form on our platform, you receive a unique endpoint URL. Simply point your HTML form's action attribute to this URL, and you can instantly collect submissions without writing a single line of server-side code.

Do I need any backend coding knowledge to use Basilform?

Not at all. You only need basic access to your website's HTML to update the form's action attribute with the URL provided by Basilform. No server-side programming or database management is required.

How quickly can I get a form up and running?

You can go live in seconds. The entire process - from signing up to generating your unique form URL - takes about one minute.

Can I use Basilform with my existing website?

Yes. Basilform is designed to integrate seamlessly with any existing static or HTML-based website.

Where do my form submissions go once they are collected?

All submissions are securely stored in your Basilform dashboard for easy management. Additionally, you can enable our Email Notifications plugin to receive submissions directly in your inbox the moment they are sent.

Does Basilform support file uploads?

Yes, we support file uploads. The Free plan includes support for 1 file per submission, while our PRO plan allows for up to 10 files per submission.

Is my form data secure?

Absolutely. We prioritize your data security by hosting all information on Hetzner's secure infrastructure and maintaining daily backups to ensure your submissions are never lost.

Can I customize the look and feel of my forms?

You have 100% control over the design. Basilform is a “headless” service - we do not inject any pre-built UI or styles. You retain full control over your HTML/CSS, so your forms will look exactly how you want them to.

Are there limits on how many submissions I can receive?

The Free plan includes a limit of 100 submissions per month across all your forms, and we will proactively notify you as you approach that limit. If you need more capacity, our PRO plan offers unlimited submissions.

How do I get started with the integration?

Integration is simple: it requires adding just one line of code to your existing HTML. You can find a step-by-step installation guide tailored to your specific form directly within your Basilform dashboard.
