Forms

CloudMySite Forms helps you create forms for your website so visitors can contact you, send messages, upload files, or submit other details.

You can use Forms with:

  • websites hosted with CloudMySite
  • Bring Your Own Website (BYOW)
  • other websites hosted anywhere else

Forms Flowchart

Forms is designed to be simple. You choose a plan, create a form, copy the form endpoint or code, add it to your website, and then manage submissions from your dashboard.

With Forms, you can:

  • create one or more forms under your plan
  • send form responses to your email
  • copy ready-to-use form code
  • add forms to CloudMySite-hosted websites
  • add forms to BYOW websites
  • use forms on websites hosted elsewhere
  • view form submissions in one place
  • review basic form activity
  • turn on spam protection
  • connect submissions to Google Sheets
  • set a redirect page after submission

Form Plans​

When you open the Forms area, you will see your available form plans.

From the plan area, you can:

  • configure a new form
  • manage an existing form
  • upgrade your subscription
  • cancel your subscription

If you do not have a form plan yet, you will see a message asking you to get started.

Create a Form​

To create a form:

  1. Open Forms from your dashboard.
  2. Choose the plan you want to use.
  3. Click Configure Form.
  4. Enter a Form Name.
  5. Enter the Recipient Email where submissions should be sent.
  6. Click Configure.

After setup, CloudMySite creates a form endpoint for you.

This endpoint is the address your website uses to send form submissions.

Add the Form to Your Website​

After the form is created, CloudMySite shows:

  • the Form Submission Endpoint
  • copy buttons
  • ready-to-use code examples

You can add the form in different ways depending on where your website is hosted.

If your website is hosted with CloudMySite​

You can open your website editor and place the form inside your page.

If you use Bring Your Own Website (BYOW)​

You can copy the form endpoint and connect it in your own HTML or frontend application.

If your website is hosted somewhere else​

You can still use CloudMySite Forms. Copy the code example and use the form endpoint in your website form.

Important Requirement​

Every field in your form should have a name.

Examples:

  • name
  • email
  • message

If a field does not have a name, its value may not be captured in the submission.

Code and Integration Options​

The Forms dashboard can show examples for:

  • basic HTML form
  • Fetch example
  • AJAX example
  • React example
  • CURL example
  • file upload example
  • Turnstile example
  • Google Sheets setup
  • HTML with Honeypot

This helps you use the same form service across different websites and tools.

Dashboard Tabs​

Once your form is created, you can manage it from the dashboard.

The dashboard includes these sections:

  • Overview
  • Code
  • Submissions
  • Settings

Overview​

The Overview section helps you quickly understand form activity.

It can show items such as:

  • request counts for the last 7 days
  • request counts for the last 30 days
  • basic submission activity
  • request location view

This section is useful when you want a quick summary of recent form usage.

Code​

The Code section shows:

  • your form submission endpoint
  • code examples you can copy
  • integration options for different website types

This is the section you use when adding the form to your website or app.

Submissions​

The Submissions section shows the responses sent through your form.

Here you can:

  • view submitted entries
  • open a submission to see its details
  • review visitor information that was submitted
  • track recent form activity

If there are no submissions yet, the dashboard will show that no submissions have been received.

Settings​

The Settings section is where you control how your form works.

Depending on your plan, settings may include:

  • form name
  • recipient email
  • redirect URL
  • email template
  • custom email template
  • AI-generated email template
  • spam protection
  • file upload
  • Google Sheets integration
  • domain settings
  • captcha settings

Spam Protection​

Forms includes options to help reduce unwanted submissions.

Honeypot​

Honeypot is a simple spam protection method that uses a hidden field to help block bots.

You can turn it on or off in form settings.

Turnstile and other captcha options​

Forms also supports captcha-related protection settings.

You may see options such as:

  • Turnstile
  • reCAPTCHA
  • hCaptcha
  • custom captcha setup

If Turnstile is enabled, you may need to enter a valid domain in settings.

Redirect After Submission​

You can set a Redirect URL so visitors are sent to another page after they submit the form.

Common examples include:

  • thank you page
  • confirmation page
  • success page on your website

Email Notifications​

Forms can send submission details to your chosen email address.

You can update the recipient email in settings at any time.

You may also have different email template options, such as:

  • default CloudMySite email template
  • custom HTML template
  • AI-generated template on supported plans

File Uploads​

Some plans support file uploads.

This is useful for forms such as:

  • job application forms
  • document upload forms
  • support forms with attachments

If file upload is not included in your plan, the dashboard may ask you to upgrade.

Google Sheets Integration​

On supported plans, you can send form submissions to Google Sheets.

This is helpful when you want to:

  • keep records in a spreadsheet
  • share submission data with your team
  • organize responses outside email

To use Google Sheets, you will need to add the correct Google Apps Script Web App URL in form settings.

Multiple Forms​

If your plan allows more than one form, you may see a list of forms inside the dashboard.

From there, you can choose which form to open and manage.

If your plan limit has been reached, CloudMySite may ask you to upgrade before creating another form.

Upgrade Your Plan​

If you need more features or more forms, you can upgrade your subscription.

You may want to upgrade if you need:

  • more forms
  • Google Sheets integration
  • file uploads
  • advanced email template options
  • additional form features

Cancel Your Plan​

You can also request cancellation from the Forms area.

During cancellation, you may be asked for:

  • cancellation reason
  • optional comments

After you submit the request, support may review it and provide a support case ID.

Best Use Cases​

Forms can be used for many website needs, including:

  • contact forms
  • quote request forms
  • support forms
  • lead capture forms
  • inquiry forms
  • job application forms
  • feedback forms
