Submit forms with JavaScript (AJAX)

Available on: All plans

You can use AJAX to submit your forms — this even works cross-origin. First create a new form in your dashboard. Then, in your form code, use an AJAX library to send your data as JSON. Be sure to set the Accept header to application/json so that the response comes back as JSON. 

This example uses the Axios HTTP library.

axios({
  url: 'https://formspree.io/YOUR_FORM_ID',
  method: 'post',
  headers: {
    'Accept': 'application/json'
  },
  data: {
    email: 'a.visitor@email.com',
    message: "Hello!"
  }
}).then((response) => { console.log(response); })

Here's the same example using jQuery. Note the dataType: "json" property, it's required to set the Accept header.

$.ajax({
  url: "https://formspree.io/YOUR_FORM_ID",
  method: "POST",
  dataType: "json",
  data: {
    email: "a.visitor@email.com",
    message: "Hello!"
  }
});
