How to Connect HTML Forms to Notion without a backend

Let’s be honest — sometimes all you want is a simple HTML form that sends data to your Notion database.

No backend. No server code. Just a clean form → Notion.

That’s exactly why I built HeySheet — a dead-simple tool to collect HTML form submissions directly into Notion (or Google Sheets), without writing a single line of backend code.

Let me show you how to do it in 5 minutes flat.

Why You Don't Need a Backend for Notion Forms

Traditionally, pushing form data to Notion meant:

• Creating a backend API with Node.js or Python
• Authenticating with Notion's API
• Handling form submission logic
• Hosting and maintaining all of it

Yeah... no thanks.

With HeySheet, you skip all that. Just sign in, link your Notion database, and get a ready-to-use form endpoint. Done.

⚡ Let’s Set It Up in 5 Simple Steps

This guide will show you how to submit HTML form data into Notion without any backend. Just a form and HeySheet.

---

✅ Step 1: Create a Notion Database

Head over to Notion and create a new database.

You might set up something like this:

| Name | Email | | ---- | -------------- | | Text | Email Property |

Make sure the property names are exactly what you want to collect from the form.

---

✅ Step 2: Create a Form on HeySheet

1. Go to HeySheet.in
2. Sign in with Google
3. Click “Create New Form”
4. Choose Notion as your destination
5. Connect your Notion account and select the database you just made

That's it — your form is now ready to accept submissions.

---

✅ Step 3: Copy Your Form Endpoint

After creating the form, you’ll get a unique endpoint like:

https://app.heysheet.in/api/s/xyz

This is where your form will send data.

✅ Step 4: Build the HTML Form

In your static site or project, use this:

<form action="https://app.heysheet.in/api/s/xyz" method="POST">
  <input type="text" name="Name" placeholder="Your name" required />
  <input type="email" name="Email" placeholder="Your email" required />
  <button type="submit">Send</button>
</form>

✅ Make sure the name fields (Name, Email) match the property names in your Notion database.

✅ Step 5: Submit and See the Magic

Go ahead and fill the form.

A new row should appear in your Notion database — automatically.

---

Bonus: Spam Protection (Optional)

HeySheet already filters out common spam bots. But you can go further:

• Add a honeypot field (invisible to humans, but bots might fill it)
• Use Google reCAPTCHA (support coming soon)
