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.
