# No signup: email in the URL

Part of the sendm8 docs: https://sendm8.com/docs#zero-signup. Index for AI assistants: https://sendm8.com/llms.txt

Put your own email address at the end of the URL and the form works straight away. There’s no account to create and no password to forget. We just need to check the address is really yours before we send anything to it.

`contact.html`

```html
<form action="https://sendm8.com/f/you@example.com" method="POST">
  <label>Your email <input name="email" type="email" required></label>
  <label>Message <textarea name="message" required></textarea></label>
  <button>Send</button>
</form>
```

1. **Someone submits the form**

   It might be you testing it. We store the submission safely, and the visitor sees the thank-you page as normal.
2. **We send one confirmation email**

   It goes to the address in the URL and asks whether you want submissions from this form. It comes from `notify@sendm8.com`.
3. **You click Confirm**

   The form goes live, and anything that arrived while we were waiting is delivered to you straight away.
4. **Every submission after that just arrives**

   No more confirmation emails for that address.

> **One confirmation per 24 hours**

> To stop people using sendm8 to spam random inboxes, we send at most one confirmation email to an address every 24 hours, and we don’t resend it while it’s waiting. Can’t find it? Check your spam folder first. If it’s really gone, submit the form again once 24 hours have passed.

Zero-signup forms send email only. When you want Discord, Slack, webhooks or the dashboard inbox, [sign in](https://sendm8.com/app/sign-in) with GitHub or Google using the same verified email address, and your existing forms move into your account automatically.
