Use Notion as a Form Backend

Heysheet allows you to connect a form to a Notion database, turning your Notion workspace into a powerful Notion form backend. This guide explains how to set up your form to send submissions directly to a Notion database without any server-side code.

​
Why Use a Notion Form Backend?

Using Notion to collect form data in Notion is an excellent way to keep your information organized and accessible. It’s a flexible solution that can be adapted to a wide variety of use cases, from simple contact forms to more complex data collection.

​
How to Connect Your Form to a Notion Database

Follow these steps to integrate your form with Notion:

​
1. Set Up Your Notion Database

Create a new database in Notion and define the properties you want to collect from your form. The property names should match the name attributes of your form fields. For example:
NameEmail
TextEmail Property

3. Get Your Form Endpoint

Heysheet will provide you with a unique URL that acts as a form submission webhook. You’ll use this endpoint in your HTML form. Screenshot of HeySheet form endpoint

​
4. Configure Your HTML Form

Update your form’s action attribute to your Heysheet endpoint and set the method to POST. 
<form action="YOUR_HEYSHEET_ENDPOINT" method="POST">
  <input type="text" name="Name" placeholder="Your Name" required />
  <input type="email" name="Email" placeholder="Your Email" required />
  <button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>
Important: The name attributes in your form must match the property names in your Notion database. Screenshot Screenshot of the HTML form code and a basic form on a live page
