RizzForms — Form Backend Skill

Create forms that collect submissions and deliver them via webhook — no server

code required. RizzForms handles storage, spam filtering, and delivery.

Bundled CLI

This skill includes a CLI at scripts/rizzforms. Use it instead of writing raw

curl commands — it handles authentication, pretty-prints JSON, and has commands

for every API operation.

# Make sure it's executable
chmod +x <skill-path>/scripts/rizzforms

# Set the API key (or run `rizzforms config` interactively)
export RIZZFORMS_API_KEY="frk_..."

# Now use it
<skill-path>/scripts/rizzforms forms
<skill-path>/scripts/rizzforms forms:create "Contact Form"

Run /scripts/rizzforms help for the full command list.

Prerequisites

You need a RizzForms API key with the admin role (prefix frk_).

Check for an API key: Look for RIZZFORMS_API_KEY in the environment or

~/.config/rizzforms/config.

If no API key exists:

1. Sign up at https://forms.rizzness.com/signup
2. Go to Account Settings > API Keys > Create API Key (select Admin role)
3. Set it: export RIZZFORMS_API_KEY="frk_..."

Important: Two Subdomains

RizzForms uses two subdomains — using the wrong one is a common mistake:

HTML form action and JSON submission URLs use forms.rizzness.com.

API management calls use www.rizzness.com.

The CLI handles this automatically.

Workflow

Step 1: Create a form

<skill-path>/scripts/rizzforms forms:create "Contact Form"

The response includes endpoint_token, submission_url, json_url,

embed_html, and examples with ready-to-use curl commands.

Save the endpoint_token — you need it for every subsequent step.

Step 2: Configure a webhook (optional)

If the user wants submissions delivered to an external URL:

<skill-path>/scripts/rizzforms plugins:create <endpoint_token> "https://their-server.com/webhook"

Requirements:

• URL must use HTTPS
• URL must not resolve to a private/reserved IP
• Save the signing_secret from the response — it's shown only once

The webhook receives a JSON POST on each submission:

{
  "id": 12345,
  "created_at": "2026-03-22T12:00:00Z",
  "form_id": "abc123",
  "form_name": "Contact Form",
  "ip": "203.0.113.42",
  "user_agent": "Mozilla/5.0...",
  "referrer": "https://yoursite.com/contact",
  "data": {
    "name": "Jane Doe",
    "email": "jane@example.com",
    "message": "Hello!"
  }
}

Each webhook includes an X-RizzForms-Signature header (HMAC-SHA256 of the

body using the signing secret). See references/api.md for verification

examples in Ruby, Node.js, and Python.

Step 3: Test the pipeline

<skill-path>/scripts/rizzforms test <endpoint_token>

This sends a test submission with ?test=true for synchronous delivery results.

You can also pass custom JSON:

<skill-path>/scripts/rizzforms test <endpoint_token> '{"name": "Test", "email": "test@example.com"}'

If the webhook returns non-2xx or times out, the delivery status will be

"failed" with an error message.

Step 4: Generate HTML

Use the embed_html from the form creation response, or build a custom form.

Always include the hidden honeypot field _hp for spam protection.

<form action="https://forms.rizzness.com/f/{endpoint_token}" method="POST">
  <label for="name">Name</label>
  <input type="text" id="name" name="name" required>

  <label for="email">Email</label>
  <input type="email" id="email" name="email" required>

  <label for="message">Message</label>
  <textarea id="message" name="message" required></textarea>

  <!-- Honeypot — keep hidden, critical for spam protection -->
  <input type="text" name="_hp" style="display:none" tabindex="-1" autocomplete="off">

  <button type="submit">Send</button>
</form>

RizzForms captures ALL form fields — there is no fixed schema. Add phone,

company, budget, file upload, radio buttons, checkboxes — whatever is needed.

Match the user's CSS framework:

• Tailwind CSS: utility classes (class="block w-full rounded-md border...")
• Bootstrap 5: Bootstrap classes (class="form-control", class="mb-3")
• Plain CSS: semantic HTML, no framework classes

Step 5: Install in the user's project

Place the HTML form in the appropriate location in the codebase. The form

action URL points to RizzForms — no server-side code is needed.

For server-side/AJAX submissions, POST JSON to

https://forms.rizzness.com/json/{endpoint_token} instead.

Managing Existing Forms

# List all forms
<skill-path>/scripts/rizzforms forms

# Show form details (includes submission count, spam rate, plugin status)
<skill-path>/scripts/rizzforms forms:show <token>

# Update a form
<skill-path>/scripts/rizzforms forms:update <token> --name "New Name"
<skill-path>/scripts/rizzforms forms:update <token> --redirect "https://site.com/thanks"
<skill-path>/scripts/rizzforms forms:update <token> --active false

# List/manage plugins
<skill-path>/scripts/rizzforms plugins <token>
<skill-path>/scripts/rizzforms plugins:delete <token> <plugin_id>
<skill-path>/scripts/rizzforms plugins:rotate <token> <plugin_id>

Viewing Submissions

# Recent submissions (default: last 24h)
<skill-path>/scripts/rizzforms submissions

# Filter by form and time range
<skill-path>/scripts/rizzforms submissions --form <token> --range 7d

# Search submissions
<skill-path>/scripts/rizzforms submissions --search "jane@example.com"

# View a specific submission
<skill-path>/scripts/rizzforms submissions:show <id>

# View spam
<skill-path>/scripts/rizzforms spam --form <token>

Spam Prevention

RizzForms has three layers of spam protection:

1. Honeypot fields — Hidden _hp (or _gotcha) field. Bots fill it, submission gets marked as spam. Always include this in your HTML.
2. Turnstile CAPTCHA — Cloudflare Turnstile invisible challenge, enabled in the dashboard.
3. Rate limiting — 60 submissions per minute per IP per form. Returns HTTP 429 when exceeded.

Special Fields

These field names get automatic normalization (stored in special_normalized):

All fields are always stored as-is in payload_json regardless of normalization.

Error Handling

All errors return {"ok": false, "error": "code", "message": "..."}.
