Getting started with JustForms

5-minute read · Updated 2026-05

This guide walks you from signup to your first email-delivered form submission. Total time: under 5 minutes.

1. Sign up

Go to justforms.io/signup. Enter your email + a password (12+ characters). We don't ask for a credit card.

2. Verify email

Check your inbox for a verification link. Click it — you'll land back in the dashboard, signed in.

3. Create your first form

1. Dashboard → click + New form
2. Give it a name (e.g. "Contact form")
3. Set the recipient email — where submissions will be delivered
4. Click Save

You'll see your new form in the sidebar. Click it to open the detail panel.

4. Embed it on your site

The detail panel shows two embed options. Copy whichever fits.

JS embed (recommended)

Wires up your existing HTML form. No styling forced on you.

<form data-justforms="YOUR_FORM_ID">
  <input name="name" required>
  <input name="email" type="email" required>
  <textarea name="message" required></textarea>
  <button type="submit">Send</button>
</form>
<script src="https://justforms.rightnode.workers.dev/embed.js" defer></script>

Iframe (zero setup)

Fully styled form, auto-resizing. Drop in anywhere.

<iframe src="https://justforms.rightnode.workers.dev/iframe/YOUR_FORM_ID"
        width="100%" height="600" style="border:0"></iframe>

5. Test it

Open the page where you embedded the form, fill it in, submit. Within 5 seconds you should see:

• Email in your recipient inbox
• New row in your dashboard → form → Submissions
• Any analytics pixels on the page fire automatically (GA4, Meta Pixel, etc.)
