Get Discord Notifications for Every Form Submission
If your team or community runs on Discord, you can get an automatic message in any channel every time someone submits your contact form. Formboost's Discord integration uses Discord's native webhook system — no bots to install, no APIs to configure.
What the Message Looks Like
Formboost posts a formatted embed to your channel:
📋 New Formboost Submission
──────────────────────────
name Jane Smith
email [email protected]
message I'd like to discuss a collaboration.
Submitted via My Contact Form
The embed includes all submitted fields and a timestamp.
Setup (Under 5 Minutes)
Step 1: Create a Discord Webhook
- Open your Discord server and go to Server Settings → Integrations → Webhooks
- Click New Webhook
- Choose the channel where form notifications should appear
- Optionally set a custom name and avatar for the bot
- Click Copy Webhook URL
Step 2: Connect It in Formboost
- Log in to dashboard.formboost.app
- Open the form you want to connect
- Click the Integrations tab
- Paste the Discord webhook URL into the Discord field
- Click Save
Step 3: Test It
Click Send Test in the Integrations tab. A test message should appear in your chosen Discord channel within a few seconds.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Fix |
|---|---|
| No message received | Confirm the webhook URL is correct and the channel still exists |
| "Unknown Webhook" error | The webhook was deleted in Discord — create a new one |
| Messages stopped | Check if the webhook was disabled or the channel was deleted |
| Rate limit delays | Discord webhooks allow 30 messages/minute per channel — high traffic may see brief delays |
Important: Keep Webhook URLs Private
Discord webhook URLs grant write access to the channel. Treat them like passwords:
- Don't commit them to a public repo
- Don't share them publicly
- Regenerate immediately if you suspect they've been exposed (Settings → Integrations → Webhooks → Edit → Regenerate)
Combining with Other Channels
One Formboost form can post to one Discord channel. To notify multiple Discord channels or combine Discord with Slack, set up each notification type in the Integrations tab separately. For advanced fan-out, use the HTTP Webhook to trigger a custom backend that forwards to multiple destinations.
