Our form endpoint lets you add new contacts to your audience from an HTML form or using JavaScript.

​
Find the form endpoint

To submit data to Loops you will need to retreive the form endpoint URL that’s linked to your Loops account.

  1. Go to the Forms page in your Loops account.
  2. Click on the Settings tab.
  3. Copy the URL shown in the Form Endpoint field.

​
Create a form

In a form, add input elements for each of the contact properties you want to collect.

The following contact properties can be added to a new contact via a Loops form endpoint:

  • Email email
  • First name firstName
  • Last name lastName
  • User group userGroup
  • Source source (default value is “Form”)
  • Notes notes
  • Created at createdAt
  • Mailing list subscriptions (read more)

The only contact property that can be updated on an existing contact via a form endpoint is userGroup.
Existing contacts can be added to new mailing lists via a form, but not unsubscribed.

​
Add contact properties

For each form field use the “API Name” value found from your API settings page as the name attribute.

Here’s a simple example form that collects name, email address and assigns a custom user group:

<form
  method="post"
  action="https://app.loops.so/api/newsletter-form/<YOUR_FORM_ID>"
>
  <input type="text" name="firstName" required>
  <input type="email" name="email" required>
  <input type="hidden" name="userGroup" value="Website signups">
  <button type="submit">Sign up</button>
</form>

​
Subscribe to mailing lists

To add subscribers to mailing lists via a form endpoint, include a hidden field called mailingLists. You can use a single mailing list ID or to add subscribers to multiple lists, use a comma-separated list of mailing list IDs.

Make sure that any mailing list you add to a form is Public. You cannot subscribe contacts to private mailing lists from the form endpoint.

<form
  method="post"
  action="https://app.loops.so/api/newsletter-form/<YOUR_FORM_ID>"
>
  <input type="email" name="email" required>
  <input type="hidden" name="mailingLists" value="cly2xnjbn002z0mme68uog1wk, cly4xnjbn002x0mme28uog1wk">
  <button type="submit">Sign up</button>
</form>

​
Submit with JavaScript

We recommend submitting forms using JavaScript because the endpoint responds with JSON.

To do this, make a POST request to your form endpoint. Make sure to set the Content-Type header to application/x-www-form-urlencoded and to submit the form body with encoded values.

function handleSubmit() {
  const formBody = `firstName=${encodeURIComponent(firstName)}&email=${encodeURIComponent(email)}&mailingLists=${encodeURIComponent(mailingListIds)}`;

  // Change this URL to your own endpoint URL
  fetch("https://app.loops.so/api/newsletter-form/<YOUR_FORM_ID>", {
    method: "POST",
    body: formBody,
    headers: {
      "Content-Type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded",
    },
  });
}

Responses from this form endpoint will be one of the following:

HTTP 200

{
  success: true
}

HTTP 400 or 500

{
  success: false,
  message: "A descriptive error message."
}

This endpoint is rate limited. If you go over the limit, will see a HTTP 429 error just like with the API. Read more about how to handle 429 responses
