Sending Data from html to Flask

So I'm trying to send data from an html form to my python flask framework. Here's the example of the html code I'm using

<form method=post action=/test>
<input name=Name value=Austin type=hidden><input type=submit value="Add Notification">

and here's the python flask I'm working with

 @app.route('/test', methods=('GET', 'POST')
def test_page():
    v = request.values.get('Name')
    return v

I've tried many different request methods and can't seem to get it to work and I get a 405 error. I'm not very familiar with the flask web development or using post requests. If anyone could point me in the correct direction then that'd be great!

You're POSTing to your endpoint, but app.route by default only enables GET. Change app.route('/test') to app.route('/test', methods=('GET', 'POST')), and you'll be able to access your endpoint.

That 405 response you're getting is Method Not Allowed.

(Unrelated issue, request.values.get['Name'] should be request.values.get('Name').)
