Web form intake

A public, configurable browser form rendered at /submit/<slug>. No API key, no auth — humans show up, fill it in, submit. Best for customer-facing feedback links and lightweight in-product "Send feedback" buttons.

Public Browser-only No API key

When to use it

  • Customer-facing "Report a bug" / "Suggest a feature" pages.
  • Internal feedback links you can drop into Slack, READMEs or onboarding docs.
  • Anywhere a human will be the one filling things in.

Field configuration

Each field declares a name, label, type and an optional mapping to a brief field. Mappable targets:

mapToEffect
titleBecomes the brief title.
descriptionBecomes the brief description.
submitter_emailStored on the brief for follow-up.
(unmapped)Kept on the brief for audit, just not surfaced as a primary field.

What submitters see

A clean, branded page on your Lithify subdomain. The form respects the configured field order; required fields are validated client-side and re-validated by the handler. After submit, a success page shows a stable reference id the submitter can quote.

Spam. Web form intakes go through the flagging agent like every other channel. Obvious junk gets shunted to cancelled automatically; nothing reaches your inbox unless it scored as legit.
