Understand the fundamental concepts of the OrbitForms platform before diving into the API.

## Forms

Forms are the primary resource in OrbitForms. Each form has a unique ID, contains fields, styling configuration, and settings for how submissions are handled.

* **Form ID:** Unique identifier (a UUID, e.g., `550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000`)
* **Fields:** Input elements that collect data
* **Settings:** Configuration for notifications, redirects, etc.
* **Styling:** Visual appearance and branding

## Submissions

Submissions are the data collected when someone fills out a form. Each submission contains the field responses, metadata, and timestamps.

* **Submission ID:** Unique identifier for each response
* **Fields:** Key-value pairs of submitted data
* **Metadata:** Browser, IP, referrer, UTM parameters
* **Timestamps:** Created and updated times

## Teams

Forms belong to teams. Teams can have multiple members with different roles and permissions.

## API Keys

API keys authenticate your requests. Each key is scoped to a team and can have different permission levels.

## Webhooks

Webhooks send HTTP POST requests to your server when events occur, like new submissions or form updates.
