Troubleshooting

Form submission failed

Public form shows an error or spinner never completes.

5 min readUpdated June 2026

Symptom

  • Visitor sees an error after submitting a lead capture form
  • Embed shows failed request or blank success state
  • Submission never appears on the form Responses tab

Common causes

  • Form is inactive or archived
  • Wrong publicId in embed URL (/f/[publicId])
  • Turnstile or bot protection failed
  • Rate limit or honeypot triggered
  • Required field or consent checkbox missing

Fix

  • Forms → open form → confirm status is Active
  • Copy embed code again from Forms → Embed — verify publicId
  • Test without ad blockers; allow challenges.cloudflare.com if using Turnstile
  • Retry from a normal browser session (not automated tools)
  • Check required fields and marketing consent settings match your embed

Still stuck?

  • Open Admin → Logs → Email logs if notification on submit fails
  • Note form publicId, timestamp, and browser console error for support
  • See /docs/pipeline/forms/ and /docs/pipeline/forms-embed/
