Step 1 : Create Site Settings Records

Step 2 : Create Table Permission, Web Role and Contact Association

Create Table Permission

Create Web Role

Associate Web Role with Contact

Step 3 : Create Web Template to add liquid code

Create a web template and add below code. Use Microsoft site for full tutorial .

<!-- Sample code for Web API demonstration -->
<style>
    #processingMsg {
        width: 150px;
