Netlify forms not working (Astro)

[Melvin]

Hi @delux220,

Thanks for clarifying.

I created a very simple Netlify form on Astro here:

MelvinPeepers/astro-js-form/blob/main/src/pages/index.astro

Note that I can’t see your code.

I do see that the form submits from this page, but doesn’t show a submission in the UI. You’ll want to check out this section of the Support Guide:

Forms are one of the most useful parts of modern websites because they allow us to capture input from our visitors. There are many ways to use forms: such as contact forms and sign-up forms. Seeing as there are many types of forms, im…

1. The endpoint that you’re submitting to has a redirect. For example, if you’re using JavaScript to submit like: fetch('/'... and you’ve a redirect rule like /* /foo 301!, submissions would probably not work. This is because the submissions are being “consumed” by the redirect rule. Instead, you cans set the endpoint to any other page that doesn’t redirect. Note: 200 rewrites could cause problems too.
2. You’re using some kind of server side rendering to render the endpoint. For example, if you’re rendering the page that you’ve set as the endpoint using a serverless function, you’d not seem the submission in the UI. The solution is similar, set the endpoint to a page or an asset (like /favicon.ico) that already exists.
3. We use Akismet on all form submissions . If you see the form in the app.netlify.com UI, but you don’t see any of your test submissions, double check that you aren’t sending junk info in your test submissions or submitting over and over again from the same IP address (which looks spammy and may be hidden in our UI until you choose to view the spam submissions ).
