Installing

Craft CMS

The Formcrier plugin adds Formcrier as an integration in Formie and Freeform, sent from Craft's queue with automatic retries. It needs Craft 5 and the Starter plan or above.

Install with Composer

From your project folder:

Terminal
composer require formcrier/craft-formcrier
php craft plugin/install formcrier

Add your API key

In your Formcrier dashboard, go to Integrations & API keys and create a key, then add it to your .env file. The plugin reads $FORMCRIER_API_KEY by default; check the connection in Settings → Plugins → Formcrier.

.env
FORMCRIER_API_KEY="sk_live_ab12…"

Formie

In Formie → Settings → Integrations → Miscellaneous, add a Formcrier integration. Then open each form you want alerts for and switch Formcrier on in its Integrations tab. An opt-in field is optional.

Freeform

In Freeform → Settings → Integrations → Webhooks, add a Formcrier integration. Then switch it on in each form's integration settings. It works with every Freeform edition.

Queue and retries

Submissions are sent from Craft's queue, so visitors never wait. If Formcrier can't be reached, the job tries again after 1 minute, 5 minutes, 30 minutes, 2 hours and 6 hours, and each submission is sent only once. Spam is never sent.

Utilities → Formcrier shows the connection, your forms and the recent sends, and has Send test alert and Sync forms buttons. php craft formcrier/forms/sync syncs forms from the command line.
