As a developer or web designer, when you create a web form, you need to specify some _action._ The action is a URL or endpoint that your form will be sent. Meaning that you need a backend (code) that receives your form and send you email notifications, saves the data, and something else.

But what happens if I don’t know how to create a backend? Or what happens if I don’t wanna create backend for a simple form?

For that reason, I’ve created [ActionForms.io](https://www.actionforms.io/).

### [ActionForms.io](http://actionforms.io/) is a No code — No backend Form sender for developers.

With [ActionForms.io](https://www.actionforms.io/), **you can easily send your** contact **forms**, surveys, questions, any form or request that you can imagine **without coding or configuring a backend.**

### How to Submit a web form and Receive instant notifications


First of all, you need to create an account in [www.ActionForms.io](https://www.actionforms.io/dashboard), you can choose the free plan if you want, or purchase the **Professional plan** to get **all the power**.

Then you’ll need to create an **Endpoint**. An Endpoint **is a URL where the form will be sent**, and it looks like this:

Once we have our endpoint, we should add it to our web form with the action attribute:

```html
<form action="https://dev.actionforms.io/e/r/contact-form" method="POST">
    <div>
        <label for="field_test">Field test</label>
        <input type="text" name="field_test">
    </div>
    
    <button type="submit">Send form</button>
</form>
```

When we submit the form, our submission and all the data will be automatically **stored in** [**ActionForms.io**](http://actionforms.io/) platform, and we can see it at any time.  
Now it’s time to receive notifications when somebody sends our form.

### Using [ActionForms.io](http://actionforms.io/) to receive form notifications


[ActionForms.io](http://actionforms.io/) has **many options** and configurations, but one of I liked the most, are the **Notifications**.

There are really **simple to use** and they provide different channel notifications like **Slack**, **Telegram**, **Email**, and more coming.

To configure notifications, we just need to access to our _endpoint settings_ and you’ll see the notification channels.
