Forms and Notifications

By the end of this page, visitors will be able to send you a message from your site.

Add a form

1. Open the Components tab and add a Form block.
2. Click the form to select it.
3. Add the fields you want, like name, email, and message.
4. Drag fields next to each other to share a row. Up to three can share one.
5. Click the submit button to change its words and look.

Where messages go

1. Select the form.
2. In the Properties tab, type the email address where you want messages sent.
3. Type a subject for those emails.
4. Publish.

When someone fills out your form, you get an email with what they typed.

Send messages somewhere else (webhook)

A webhook sends each message to another service the moment it arrives. Tools like Zapier and Make can take it from there, for example to add the sender to a spreadsheet or a mailing list.

1. Select the form.
2. In the Properties tab, paste the service's address into Webhook URL.
3. Publish.

Each message is sent as JSON with the visitor's email and every field they filled in. A form needs an email, a webhook, or both.

See every message

Open Form Submissions in the left panel. It lists every message from your site's forms with the time, which form it came from, what the visitor wrote, and whether the email went out.

• Sent. The email was delivered to your address.
• Not emailed. We couldn't send it. The reason is shown under it.
• Unconfirmed. We couldn't tell whether it went out.
• Sending. It is on its way.

Use Needs attention to show only the ones that never reached your inbox. A red number next to Form Submissions counts recent ones that need a look.

Pop-up form

A pop-up form appears on top of your pages to collect emails or leads. You get one pop-up for the whole site.

1. In the left panel, click Pop-up Form.
2. Choose Opens when: after a delay, when the visitor scrolls down, or when they are about to leave.
3. Set the Heading, Text, fields, and Submit button label.
4. Under Where submissions go, add an email, a webhook, or both.
5. Tick Show the pop-up on every page of the site.
6. Click Save.

It goes live as soon as you save. You don't need to Publish. Each visitor sees it once, until they close it. Pop-ups don't appear while you're editing, so use Preview or your live site to see it. Messages from the pop-up show up in Form Submissions like any other.

Good to know

• Forms only work on your published site. Publish before you test.
• Test it yourself: send a message and check your inbox, including spam.
• Fields aren't checked for you, so a visitor can leave one blank.
• There is a daily limit on emails per site, so a flood of messages can't fill an inbox. Messages over the limit still appear in Form Submissions.
• There's no spam protection yet, and each form sends to one email address.
