Formie alerts on WhatsApp, SMS and Slack

Add Formcrier as a Formie integration and each submission reaches your phone within seconds, on WhatsApp, a text, Telegram, Slack or Teams.

  1. 1

    Create your Formcrier account

    It's free for 10 alerts a month, with no card. Add your website, then create a secret key under Integrations & API keys.

  2. 2

    Install the Formcrier plugin

    The plugin is on its way to the Craft Plugin Store. Until it's there, email [email protected] for early access, or use the script, which works with Formie and Freeform.

  3. 3

    Add your key

    Add the key to your .env file. The plugin reads it by default; check the connection in Settings → Plugins → Formcrier.

    .env
    FORMCRIER_API_KEY="sk_live_ab12…"
  4. 4

    Switch it on for your forms

    In Formie → Settings → Integrations → Miscellaneous, add a Formcrier integration. Then switch it on in the Integrations tab of each form you want alerts for.

  5. 5

    Choose where alerts go

    In Formcrier, connect WhatsApp by scanning a QR code, or add a mobile number, Telegram, a Slack or Teams channel, or an email address. Utilities → Formcrier in Craft sends a test alert.

How it works with Formie

A native integration
Formcrier appears beside Formie's other integrations, with an optional opt-in field.
Sent from the queue
Submissions go out from Craft's queue, so visitors never wait, and are tried again over the next few hours if Formcrier can't be reached.
Spam stays out
Submissions Formie marks as spam are never sent.

Questions

Yes. You get one alert, when the last page is submitted.

Yes. The script knows Formie's AJAX forms and waits for them to succeed. The plugin sends from your server, where ad blockers can't get in the way.
