Get your first form live in just a few minutes. This guide walks you through creating a form, embedding it into your site, and getting it ready to receive submissions.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create a Form">
    Go to your PipedForm dashboard and create your first form.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Get Your Form URL">
    On the detail page of the form you just created, copy the form URL. It follows the format `https://pipedform.com/f/{form_id}`, where `form_id` is your form's unique ID. This URL is the destination endpoint your form will submit to.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Embed It in Your Site">
    Add a form on your site using the destination URL you copied:

    ```html theme={null}
    <form action="https://pipedform.com/f/{form_id}" method="POST">
      <input name="name" required/>
      <input name="email" type="email" required/>
      <textarea name="message" required></textarea>
      <button type="submit">Submit</button>
    </form>
    ```
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Warning>
  Every field in your form must include a `name` attribute, its value is used as the key, while the user's input becomes the value.
</Warning>

Be sure to test your form before deploying it to production, to make sure its behavior matches your expectations.
