# Overview

Email communication is a fundamental part of many applications, whether for user inquiries, feedback forms, or notifications. However, setting up an email-sending system often requires a backend server, authentication setup, and complex configurations. This is where EmailJS simplifies the process—allowing you to send emails directly from your application without managing a backend.

The best way to understand how EmailJS works is by building something practical. This Contact Form tutorial will walk you through the entire process of integrating EmailJS into your web application, enabling you to send form submissions straight to your inbox. Whether you're creating a simple inquiry form or an advanced email workflow, the concepts covered here will give you a solid foundation.

# What You'll Learn

In this tutorial, we will cover the following key steps:

  • Adding an email service – Setting up an email provider to handle outgoing messages
  • Creating an email template – Defining the structure and content of your emails
  • Preparing an Auto-Reply template – Setting up automated responses for user submissions
  • Building an HTML form – Designing the user interface for collecting input
  • Sending emails using the EmailJS SDK – Connecting everything to send emails effortlessly

# Why Use EmailJS?

Whether you're a hobbyist developing your own page, a startup looking to move fast, or a company optimizing resources, time is a critical factor. Building even a basic email-sending system takes effort—not just in development but in ongoing maintenance. Keeping up with evolving email security standards, deliverability challenges, and system updates can quickly turn into a continuous workload.

This applies to any service that offers a ready-made solution, not just EmailJS. When a tool can eliminate unnecessary development time, reduce maintenance, and ensure reliable performance, it becomes an obvious choice.

With EmailJS, you can focus on building your application rather than managing email infrastructure.
Now, let's get started by adding an email service.
