Step-by-Step Guide to Implementing Your Form from Scratch

​

Step 1: Start With Our Prepared Form Template

Comfyform provides a simple HTML form template you can use as a starting point. Later, we’ll include the honeypot field to help filter out bots efficiently.

<form action="https://api.comfyform.com/s/YOUR_FORM_ID" method="POST">
    <input type="text" name="Full name" placeholder="John Doe">
    <input type="email" name="Email" placeholder="john@example.com">
    <textarea name="Message" placeholder="Hello, I'd like to..."></textarea>
    <button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>

Copy and paste the entire form code provided above into the HTML file where you want your form to appear. Replace YOUR_FORM_ID with the ID you receive when you create your form in the Comfyform dashboard.

​

Step 2: Secure Your Form with Honeypot Field

Insert the following security field above the submit button in your form to prevent spam:

<!-- Start of a security code to prevent bot submissions -->
<div style="position: absolute; left: -9999px;">
    <label for="emailAgainHpInput">If you're huuuman, ignore this field</label>
    <input type="email" name="YOUR_HONEYPOT_FIELD" id="emailAgainHpInput" placeholder="your@email.com" tabindex="-1" autocomplete="nopls" data-1p-ignore data-lpignore="true">
</div>
<!-- End of security code -->

Adjust YOUR_HONEYPOT_FIELD according to your form security settings in Comfyform.

​

Step 3: Customize as Needed

Tailor the form to your preferences—modify fields, update placeholders, or implement custom styles. For HTML structure and styling tips, refer to our code structure and styling guide for HTML forms.

​

Step 4: Deploy and Test

Once you have your form set up, deploy your website, and perform a test submission to ensure everything is functioning as intended.

​

Final Code

Here’s what your final form code should look like. Remember to replace YOUR_FORM_ID and YOUR_HONEYPOT_FIELD with the appropriate values.

<form action="https://api.comfyform.com/s/YOUR_FORM_ID" method="POST">
    <input type="text" name="Full name" placeholder="John Doe">
    <input type="email" name="Email" placeholder="john@example.com">
    <textarea name="Message" placeholder="Hello, I'd like to..."></textarea>
    <!-- Start of a security code to prevent bot submissions -->
    <div style="position: absolute; left: -9999px;">
        <label for="emailAgainHpInput">If you're huuuman, ignore this field</label>
        <input type="email" name="YOUR_HONEYPOT_FIELD" id="emailAgainHpInput" placeholder="your@email.com" tabindex="-1" autocomplete="nopls" data-1p-ignore data-lpignore="true">
    </div>
    <!-- End of security code -->
    <button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>

​

Security Measures

The security field (honeypot) within the code is designed to be invisible to human users but detectable by bots. It’s a simple yet effective spam protection mechanism that you must include in your form to maintain functionality.
