 ## Contact form
 
-Set `PUBLIC_CONTACT_FORM_ENDPOINT` during the build to make the contact form
-send real submissions through a hosted form provider such as Formspree, Basin,
-Getform, or a self-hosted endpoint.
+The default hosted form endpoint and submissions inbox are configured in
+`src/config/contact.ts`. The deployed form sends submissions through Formspree.
+Set `PUBLIC_CONTACT_FORM_ENDPOINT` during the build only when overriding the
+committed endpoint with another Formspree form or hosted provider.
 
 Optional variables:
 
 - `PUBLIC_CONTACT_RECIPIENTS`: comma-separated mail fallback recipients.
-- `PUBLIC_CONTACT_SUBMISSIONS_URL`: admin dashboard URL for form submissions.
+- `PUBLIC_CONTACT_SUBMISSIONS_URL`: override for the admin submissions-inbox URL.
 
 If no endpoint is configured, the form falls back to opening the visitor's email
 application with the message filled in.
