Headless Craft has no Twig to render forms
When the frontend is Next, Nuxt, or Astro over Craft’s GraphQL API, plugin form tags never run. A Furrow endpoint gives the JS frontend a proper form backend rather than a hand-rolled controller.

Why Craft CMS sites need a form backend
Craft doesn’t ship native front-end forms; its ecosystem answers with mature commercial plugins — Freeform, Formie — that render through Twig and store submissions in your Craft install. For a conventional Craft site with complex form needs, they’re the right tool. Furrow Forms targets the other cases: headless Craft, where a Next or Astro frontend consumes GraphQL and Twig-rendered forms don’t exist; simple sites where a contact form doesn’t justify a plugin license and its updates; and agencies who want submissions handled the same way across Craft and non-Craft projects alike.
A contact form shouldn’t require a plugin license
For one enquiry form, a commercial plugin plus its per-site license and update cycle is a lot of machinery. A plain form action and a free Furrow project covers it.
Submissions in the CMS database, again
Plugin submissions live in your Craft database — spam included, unless you configure captchas per plugin per site. Furrow keeps that traffic external and delivers verified submissions by signed webhook if you want them back.

Fetch furrowforms.com/ai and set up a contact form backend for my Craft CMS site.- 1.Registers the account over POST /api/register — you read one 6-digit email code
- 2.Provisions the site: client, project, and forms in one idempotent bootstrap_site call
- 3.Pastes the generated snippet into your codebase
- 4.Fires test_webhook and verifies the signed delivery
Or do it by hand
- 01Create a free account and a project for the site.
- 02Add the form to your Twig template or headless frontend — no plugin install.
- 03Set domain, recipients, and webhook once at the project level.
- 04For headless builds: submit via fetch() and read the JSON response for inline success states.

FAQ
Craft CMS + Furrow Forms, answered
How do I add a contact form to a headless Craft site?
Your JS frontend can’t use Twig-rendered plugin forms, so point a plain form at a Furrow Forms endpoint. Furrow filters spam, stores the submission, emails your team, and can deliver a signed webhook to any endpoint — including one that writes back into Craft.
Is Furrow a replacement for Freeform or Formie?
Only sometimes. Those plugins are excellent for editor-managed, complex forms on conventional Craft sites. Furrow replaces them when the frontend is headless, the form is simple, or you want form infrastructure that spans non-Craft sites too.
Can submissions still reach my Craft install?
Yes — subscribe an endpoint (a small Craft controller or serverless function) to Furrow’s HMAC-signed webhook and create entries with Craft’s APIs. You get signature verification, automatic retries, and a delivery log on the way in.
