# InboxPanda

> Form backend for any website. POST a form to one URL; InboxPanda filters spam with AI, summarizes and labels each submission by intent, and emails the owner. No backend code or API key.

## Create a form (no account needed)

POST https://indexpanda.io/api/forms
Content-Type: application/json
{"email": "owner@example.com", "name": "Contact"}

Returns {"id", "endpoint", ...}. The owner gets an email to claim the form; until then submissions are held and capped.

## What happens to each submission

InboxPanda classifies it with Claude once on arrival: an intent from the owner's list (by default sales, support, partner, billing, feedback, hiring; always other and spam) with a confidence, urgent flag, a one-sentence gist, a 2-3 sentence summary, stated facts, a reason and a suggested next step. Spam is kept out of email. Real submissions go to the owner's email, Slack and signed webhooks (x-signature: sha256=HMAC of the raw body). Intents with a forwarding address are forwarded on arrival. It drafts a reply to each real message; for intents the owner switches on, it sends the reply itself from the owner's notes, five minutes after arrival unless the owner stops it.

## Submit to a form

POST {endpoint} with application/x-www-form-urlencoded (a plain <form action="{endpoint}" method="POST">) or JSON.
Send "Accept: application/json" to get {"ok": true, "id"} instead of a thank-you page.
Every input needs a name attribute. Fields starting with "_" are options:
- _redirect: URL to send the visitor to after submitting
- _subject: subject line of the notification email
- _honey: spam trap; render it hidden and leave it empty

File uploads: send multipart/form-data with <input type="file"> (claimed forms only). PDF, Word, text and image files, up to 4 MB per submission in total.

## Example

<form action="{endpoint}" method="POST">
  <input name="name" required>
  <input name="email" type="email" required>
  <textarea name="message" required></textarea>
  <input name="_honey" style="display:none">
  <button>Send</button>
</form>
