## Switching from Forminit or Getform

### Create a form

Sign in at [app.nisuform.com](https://app.nisuform.com), create a form and copy its endpoint from the **Setup** tab.

### Change the action URL

```html title="Before"
<form action="https://forminit.com/f/YOUR_FORM_ID" method="POST">
```

```html title="After"
<form action="https://api.nisuform.com/s/YOUR_FORM_KEY" method="POST">
```

Older forms may still point to `getform.io/f/`. Replace that URL the same way.

### Add the honeypot

Add the `_gotcha` field so bots that fill in every input are dropped:

```html
<input type="text" name="_gotcha" tabindex="-1" autocomplete="off" style="display:none">
```

If your form uploads files, keep `enctype="multipart/form-data"`. File uploads need Pro on Nisuform. See [File uploads](/docs/connect/file-uploads).

### Send a test submission

Submit the form from your live site and check that it reaches your inbox and your email.
