Why it matters

Never let a submission sit unseen

A form is only useful if someone acts on what comes in. An instant alert in your own inbox means the right person sees every submission the moment it lands — and can move on it before the moment passes.

Never miss it

Every response reaches you

No more checking the dashboard or finding leads days later. The instant someone submits, an email lands in your inbox — so a new order, application, or inquiry can't slip through unnoticed.

Respond fast

Reply while it's still warm

Leads and questions go cold quickly. Getting alerted the second a form is submitted means you can follow up in minutes, not the next morning — and beat slower competitors to the reply.

Loop in the team

The right people all know

Add everyone who should act — sales, support, ops, or a shared inbox. One submission alerts the whole team at once, so nothing waits on a single person to forward it on.

What you control

Alerts shaped exactly how you want

Submission notifications aren't one-size-fits-all. Choose who's alerted, how much detail rides along, and which form goes to whom — then send it all from your own address.

Recipients

Decide who gets notified

Add one teammate or your whole team — as many recipients as you need on a single form. Route a contact form to sales and a support form to your help desk, all from one settings panel.

Include the answers

Triage without leaving your inbox

Drop the submitted answers right into the email so you can read and prioritise at a glance, and attach a full PDF copy of every submission for your records. You set how much detail each alert carries.

Per-form routing

Each form to the right people

Notifications are configured per form, so every form sends to exactly who should handle it. Job applications alert HR, orders alert fulfilment, inquiries alert sales — no shared inbox needed.

Your address

Send from your own domain

Customise the subject and sender, and connect your own SMTP server so alerts arrive from your branded address and stay out of spam folders — clear, consistent, and unmistakably yours.

Where teams use it

An alert that pays off on every form

Wherever a form kicks off work for your team, a submission notification puts the right person on it the moment it arrives.

Sales leads

Inquiries & demo requests

Get pinged the second a prospect submits, so sales can reply while interest is high — and beat the competitors still checking once a day.

Support
