Overview

Have you ever needed to set up a PHP script to relay form submissions to your email? Well, you should use your HenceForm instead! No coding, no setup, just a simple way to relay form data into an email.

1. Create a form on your site and set the action attribute on your form to https://henceform.hexientlabs.com/[email protected].

2. Whenever a user fills out and submits the form, we'll send you an email with that data.

Note The first time you submit a form, it will ask you to confirm your email. After that, you're good to go.

Example

A form could look like:

<form action="https://henceform.hexientlabs.com/[email protected]">
  <input type="text" name="first_name"/>
  <input type="text" name="last_name"/>
  <button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>

You'll then get an email that looks like:

Deployment

Want to run your own copy of HenceForm? It's simple.

Use the Heroku Deploy button below and set the required configuration values on the next page

Note: Even though we use the free Heroku Redis and Heroku Postgres addons, Heroku will require that the account you use has a credit card attached to it.

Running Locally

1. Install the Ruby Version specified in the .ruby-version file via RVM or RBenv

2. Install PostgreSQL and have it running

3. Install Redis and have it running

4. Clone the Repo and cd into it

5. Install Ruby dependencies via bundle install

6. Copy the .env.example file to .env

7. Set all values in the .env file. This is already gitignored so don't worry about committing it.

8. Setup the database using bundle exec rails db:setup

9. Run the server using bundle exec rails server

10. Run the worker using bundle exec sidekiq -c 5 -v -q default -q mailers
