Common issues ​

My submissions are not showing up ​

  • Ensure all input, select and textarea elements inside your form have a name attribute, otherwise you will not receive the data filled in these fields.
  • Keep in mind that empty submissions are ignored by Formspark.
  • Are you using some form of spam protection? Temporarily disable the protection, if you are able to submit without it then you probably need to double-check your integration. Step-by-step instructions can be found here.

I cannot find my forms ​

  1. Ensure that you are signed in with the correct email address.
  2. Ensure that you are connected to the right workspace: View My Workspaces .

I cannot find my workspace ​

Ensure that you are signed in with the correct email address.

My workspace suddenly seems to be out of submissions ​

Ensure that you are connected to the right workspace: View My Workspaces.

Note that additional user-created workspaces start with 0 submissions. All upgrades, bundles, and deals are per workspace.

My AJAX request returns 200 but no submission shows up ​

This is almost always a Content-Type / Accept header mismatch. When submitting JSON, both headers must be set to application/json:

javascript
fetch("https://submit-form.com/your-form-id", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
    Accept: "application/json",
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({ message: "Hello" }),
});

Without those headers Formspark may treat the body as something other than JSON and silently discard it.

I'm receiving duplicate submissions ​

Common causes:

  • The visitor pressed the back button after submitting and resubmitted the form on refresh.
  • The submit button was clicked multiple times before the request completed. Disable the button while the request is in flight.
  • Browser autofill / form-restore replayed the submission after a page reload.

If you submit via AJAX, disable the button until the request resolves and reset the form on success. For full-page submissions, redirect away from the form on success to avoid resubmission on refresh.
