Introduction

What PixelVerse Forms is, the two kinds of forms, and what happens the moment someone presses submit.

PixelVerse Forms is a hosted form backend with a visual builder on top. Point any form at one endpoint, or build one in the browser, and every response is stored, spam-checked and emailed to you with Reply-To set to the person who sent it. You answer by hitting reply.

Two kinds of forms

Builder formAPI form
Where it livesHosted at https://forms.pixelverse.tech/f/your-slug, embeddableYour own markup, on your own site or app
FieldsDesigned in the builder, validated on both sidesSchema-less: send any keys
DesignTheme presets, fonts, custom CSS, logoYours entirely
Inbox, emails, webhooks, analyticsIncludedIncluded

Both kinds land in the same inbox, send the same emails and share the same spam protection. Most workspaces end up with a mix: hosted forms for things like RSVPs and applications, API forms for the contact form that already lives in the website.

What happens on submit

  1. 1
    The request is checked

    Rate limits run per IP and per email. The honeypot field is inspected. Builder forms are validated against their rules on the server.

  2. 2
    The response is stored

    Along with approximate location, device, browser, referrer and any UTM tags. It appears in the inbox as unread.

  3. 3
    Emails go out

    A notification to you with Reply-To set to the sender, and an optional confirmation to them. Both use your templates and branding.

  4. 4
    Your webhook is called

    If one is configured, a JSON payload is POSTed to it. Spam never triggers emails or webhooks.
