Key Features

Schema-Driven Forms

Create forms using JSON schemas that define fields, validation rules, and behavior. Forms are versioned and can be migrated automatically.

Example Form Schema:

{
  "id": "contact-form",
  "title": "Contact Us",
  "fields": [
    {
      "id": "email",
      "type": "email",
      "label": "Email Address",
      "required": true
    },
    {
      "id": "message",
      "type": "textarea",
      "label": "Message",
      "required": true
    }
  ]
}

Multi-Environment Support

Organize your forms across isolated environments:

  • Development: Test forms before going live

  • Staging: Preview changes before production

  • Production: Live forms for your users

Each environment is completely isolated with its own data and API keys.

Use forms anywhere:

  • Embed in Websites: Add forms to any website with a simple script

  • API Integration: Build custom integrations with our REST API
