## Using the Formspree Dashboard

To get started, create a Formspree account, [log into your dashboard](https://formspree.io/forms), and create a new **Dashboard Project**.

After you create a new form in your project, you'll get an endpoint URL to use as the `action` attribute in your form. Submissions will be directed to your Formspree account. This integration option does not require configuration changes to your Render service; simply set the `action` URL in your form.

## Using the Formspree CLI

You can use Formspree's CLI together with the Formspree React library to programmatically create and configure forms on every deploy.

Follow [Formspree's documentation](https://help.formspree.io/hc/en-us/articles/360053819114) to install their React library and CLI. To set up continuous deployment on Render, add the `FORMSPREE_DEPLOY_KEY` environment variable to your Render site and set the value to the deploy key in your [Formspree project settings](https://formspree.io/forms).

Install Formspree's CLI as a dependency using npm or yarn:

```shell
  # with npm
$ npm install -save @formspree/cli
```

```shell
  # with yarn
$ yarn add @formspree/cli
```

Add Formspree's deploy script to your `package.json` as shown below:

```json
{
  "name": "my-cool-site",
  "version": "0.1.0",
  "dependencies": {
    "@formspree/cli": "^0.9.6",
    "@formspree/react": "^2.2.3",
    "react": "^16.7.0"
  },
  "scripts": {
    "start": "react-scripts start",
    "build": "react-scripts build",
    "formspree-deploy": "formspree deploy"
  }
}
```

You can then append Formspree's deploy script to your build script or existing build command as follows: `npm install; npm run formspree-deploy`.
